I am uncomfortably on the line now with that evil dry zone. Right on the edge. But at least saw a good bit of snow today and the last storm. I'm satisfied and grateful. And hoping this is a banger for friends starving for snow. Didn't expect what I wound up getting today. Had a hunch last nite that it would set up sharply like this.

 

[Forevertothee]

It’s beautiful guys. Atypical dendrites for this area.

Let's do this Upstate!

 

[jjwxman]

Snow reported in High Point and Greensboro. 5PM

 

[NCWeatherhound]

I am new here but why do NWS Stations in NC seem so hesitant to up their forecasts and issue warnings for Ral/Durham/etc. even when it appears obvious that the storm is overperforming?

It's far easier to apologize for giving people more snow than expected than it is for promising and not delivering.

 

[Wild Weather Monger]

Still snowing here. It looks like I'm on my way to a solid inch.

Man, I can get used to getting snow when I don't need to wet-bulb down to 33 from 42 degrees for an inch of slush. This is twice it has snowed here with sub0freezing temps from start to finish.

 

[Stump]

JoCo and Wake totals will be suppressed by this dry area of air that WILL NOT saturate fast enough.

 

[8miles]

Flurries in Statesville

 

[KyloG]

HRRR really sucked...had nothing even close to Atlanta...RAP did have precip getting to Atlanta.

These are the 18z runs....

 

[vtrap90]

Man. They even were more aggressive than everything else

There is a clear disconnect between news outlets and the national weather service here in Atlanta. FFC said the same thing in 2014 and the same thing today. So they had to change from an advisory to warning so citizens would take it more seriously I suppose.

 

[UA17]

32° here in Mount Pleasant (CHS) with freezing rain

Is it on the power lines ?

 

[JimBobs]

steady flurries in South Charlotte near SouthPark

 

[MBell]

Snow coming to an end in Midtown now, I can see the sky changing around off to my northwest. Dry air coming in.

 

[sackjalding]

Snow just stopped here in south Buckhead but the roads are not good. My side street is sorta hilly and cars are sliding and spinning. Imagine it is rough around town.

 

[ragtop50]

JoCo and Wake totals will be suppressed by this dry slot that WILL NOT go away.

Where are you seeing a dry slot?

 

[Cary_Snow95]

What is going on over Garner, NC? Returns all around but there? Clayton/Garner?

It's just radar presentation. Radar beams start at the ground and go out and up. The further away from the radar the higher up the beam is scanning. Which is why it can appear that there is precip everywhere with a circle around the radar. It's just a visual thing when in reality everywhere you see precip is moistening the column

 

[JDRwxNC]

Dry air all around JoCo and Wake. Will be a while before anything hits the ground.

yawnnnnnnnn. Thanks for your opinion!

 

[SimeonNC]

Things might pick up for us @Myfrotho704_ @Chazwin @broken025

 

[chase223322]

Finally tapering off at the airport. No cancellations so far so thats a win

 

[LKNWX]

Light snow in Denver. The ground is so cold it’s not taking much to turn everything white.

 

[mydoortotheworld]

That sharp cutoff line that was well modeled the last few days is slowly pushing SE and I'd expect snow will taper off quickly within the next 30 minutes here in N ATL, but the SE metro will enjoy it for what looks like a couple more hours or so

You hit it right on the head. Rather have a pleasant surprise than have a crushing heartbreaker

Yeah, already reserving myself for it. Hoping beaches get a lot though!

 

[broken025]

Finally flurries in Waxhaw

where are you seeing a dry slot?

 

[Mitch West]

really struggling in Columbia with rates so far. Wanted to hold off before speaking out loud on it but sheesh. It’s like an aggressive dandruff blizzard. Taking forever to add up. No beef to the flakes at all.

 

[Cary_Snow95]

They aren't. They're looking at the radar presentation and not understanding how radars work lol

 

[Bham 99]

Is it on the power lines ?

Not yet i don't think, I didn't see any when I was out and about a few minutes ago. Where I live the power lines are underground so I can't tell at the moment.

 

[Chazwin]

Light flurries starting in Wingate

 

[atlwx]

Snow coming to an end in Midtown now, I can see the sky changing around off to my northwest. Dry air coming in.

Sadly, it's looking like it. definitely dropped off dramatically in the last 5 minutes. Ugh. But man, the poor folks NW of us . Was hoping this would roll on into the evening.

 

[Loganville Winter]

South metro Atlanta is not doing well. I-75 south is blocked along with many side roads already in Stockbridge Area. Accidents everywhere and people pushing stuck cars.

 

[Cary_Snow95]

THIS DRY AIR POCKET AROUND RALEIGH NEEDS TO GO AWAY

Stop posting this in the main thread. It is not a dry slot it's the radar presentation and is normal as the column moistens down to the lower levels. Relax

40 miles east of Atlanta here. Man, I'm eyeing that surge of moisture moving up 85 from north of Montgomery. I'm beginning to think I may catch the back edge of that in an hour or so. wow.

 

[5Stripes4life]

Things look to be done here at Georgia Tech

 

[BourbonLumberjack]

Quick burst of heavy flurries quickly covered the roads. Very dry, dendrites falling here.

How do you add an mping report? I feel incredibly dumb…it’s been awhile

I just use RadarScope (if you have it)

[Cary_Snow95]

Nice slug of moisture heading towards wake. Should be the final punch needed to moisten the column

I got it, but need quick tutorial
