Wintry Jan 27-28 Snow Potential Official Thread

[Jon]

I guess I need to start cutting all official forecasts in half to figure out how much snow I should actually expect.

Just never look at the wxbell 10:1 HRRR when HRRRv4 has built in variable snow SLR from 5:1 up to 17:1, and doesn’t translate mixed/sleet to snow. Not that you did, but I think the HRRR product in particular from wxbell got hopes up...

So I went outside and I think I did get 2" or maybe a little more:

Roads don't look bad at all.

They're not. Just slushy in spots. My driveway was a little slick.

Significant melting happened between 430am and now. My road was covered when I went up to get a couple hours of sleep. Temp finally down to 32.0 though.

Roads are clear in East Durham. One last round of flurries moving through. Around an inch still on the ground.

I have to laugh. About the only place the GFS got right was RR.

So what was the cutoff for the naked snow dive?

I got a trace of snow. Call that a win here

I wonder how much snow Gatlinburg got. I think accu was there chasing.

Curious to see what everyone’s final max snow accumulations were for this storm. Looks like it overperformed a little in the north-central coastal plain, busted low in/around the Triad

Heavy dusting here. Maybe 1/3" Hard to tell if it was a bit more since I wasn't awake while it was accumulating.
