Wintry February 19-21, 2020 Winter Storm

[drfranklin]

mod to heavy sleet, temps very slowly falling to 38.0

 

[smast16]

We can't even get a rain drop here. 40.8/26.8

Nope, dry as a bone here in kernersville. Still at 43% We're going to be those guys in the snow hole. ?

 

[CaptainD]

From the top of Fort Mountain Georgia state park. 35° and a Wintery mix..

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Heaviest rain of the day so far. Transition line on the move. Need some 50+dbz stuff if we’re going to do
It here

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Sleet reports at Five Forks..it’s knocking on the door

 

[FallsLake]

0.5" precip line shifting towards I85. Looking at the radar it seem that will be tough..IMO. Hopefully it's right.

I think we're going to be depended on the coastal low development. We want it to get going quicker and closer to the coast. You can see the orientation of the precip starts to become SW to NE and not west to east as it is now.

 

[jackendrickwx]

Its the sleetfest of the century boys. Heavy IP/RN

 

[8miles]

Rain starting to get a little heavier.. need those heavy returns to switch to snow

 

[Deleted member 609]

You and me both. I think we are in the same area. Western Union County.

Im waxhaw/marvin you?

 

[KyloG]

For central NC folks...it looks like heaviest precip sould be between 5pm and 11pm.

 

[Oconeexman]

Been a mixed bag here for the last 45 minutes. Honestly about all I expect here

 

[Myfrotho704_]

hrrr staying consistent with this, if you end up under that heavy band of precip you may get a very heavy burst of snow (that area I circled blue could be suprised)
In the foothills you can really see that subsidence in red

 

[Jessy89]

Temps stuck at 39 rain/sleet mix this will be a non event for Pickens county at least

ALSO wrt that pocket of no precip shown on the HRRR that bird wiener keeps bringing up.. if u continue the HRRR run it fills in quite nicely shortly after ... this thing is looking like it’s ramping up fast

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Sleet mixing in here..hitting my front glass door ? Send help

 

[drfranklin]

temp down to 37.8 with mod to heavy sleet

 

[NE Ga Wx]

the sleet started mixing in about 20 minutes ago but the temp is still way above freezing (38, which it has been since I got up this morning)

 

[Myfrotho704_]

Sleet here with the tiniest flurries I’ve ever seen

 

[Chazwin]

I’m actually feeling really good about things here in Wingate. The High Res models this morning keep wanting to have a little lollipop over this part of the county. I wonder if it’s catching on to a possible deform band tonight

 

[Heelyes]

Sleet starting in Chatham

 

[Genset]

Finally changing to snow here!

 

[Wx4life]

Im waxhaw/marvin you?

Hemby Bridge. Not far, but in these types of situations every millimeter counts..lol

Pretty good timing with this coming in mostly just after dark. We'd lose a lot of accumulation to melting from sun angle/soil temps/above freezing 2m temps with the snowfall during the day. It would be one thing if temps were in the mid 20s, but with near freezing temps the sun angle would cause more harm.

 

[GaSnowhound]

Same here in Chastain Park area. ITP really seems to be in a cold pocket. No way we hit mid 40s barring some unforeseen WAA.

We’re at 39 in Social Circle. High earlier this mng was 41. You can feel/hear the wedge. outside. Maybe it overperforms wsnow cover beginning ito our East.

It seems like this is a little slower than model progs so wonder if that's helping to shift things south.

 

[Brick Tamland]

Last minute NW shift, per par?

Part of the reason I thought the heaviest snow in NC would be from Wake northeast into VA

 

[RBR71]

 

[Gusmalaka]

39 and rain in mocksville

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Interesting pocket (sleet) south of the current transition line

 

[Webberweather53]

It’s a sleet fest here in Charlotte

 

[campamy]

Finally started legit snowing here for the last 20 min, but the rates haven't been consistent at all. Nothing sticking anywhere and not heavy enough to overcome the wet and warm ground

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

HRRR might be on to something with that thin finger of heavy snow extending from the southern upstate through Charlotte later

 

[BackThePack]

Really surprised how much factor sun angle has become in the play out of this storm

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Per CC and latest HRRR, this area might get interesting in a little bit

 

[ChattaVOL]

Finally a heavy mix in Chattanooga

 

[KyloG]

It’s a sleet fest here in Charlotte

Sure looks like weathernerds HRRR depiction is close. Has CLT snow between 3-4pm.

 

[Sctvman]

46/43 in CHS. Rain has just started

 

[drfranklin]

mod to heavy sleet, snow is mixing, temp 37.4

 

[Deleted member 609]

Hemby Bridge. Not far, but in these types of situations every millimeter counts..lol

Yep you see any sleet out there yet

 

[Myfrotho704_]

Won’t be long before snow reports start coming in further south around the piedmont of NC into the upstate of SC
