Observations January 3-6th. 2018 Winter Storm Observations

[Stormsfury]

Absolutely beautiful Stormsfury. I've been reading your posts since 2003 on storm2k and I'm so thrilled for you!

That's where I remember you from!
I have more to show. The snow has tapered down to very light snow now so 7" will likely be my final tally!

More pics before dark.

That looks incredible. Roads look like a total mess though...don't see how you're getting out of the neighborhood tonight and maybe even through tomorrow. Think you were in the jackpot.

You outdid yourself from February 2010. Cool!

Honestly looks like Charleston and areas around it were the biggest winners of this event so far. Widespread 4-7 inches. Congrats!

Imagine if this storm was a bit slower.

Anyone got pointers on how to post pictures? I can upload images but cant get them to post.

Winding down here. An unexpected heavy dusting that covered everything including the roads.

Just got a report out of Downtown Greensboro that roads are covered.

Here in Northwest Greensboro, 10 miles north, absolutely nothing. Incredible gradient.

Not too bad for Gulf, NC. I was forecasted for hardly anything. (Photo taken an hour ago)

Damn, @Stormsfury far enough inland to be predominantly snow!

Hope CHS proper, can rival 1989. Myrtle Beach might not get their foot + though

What was the snowfall total in Savannah ?

I bet Larry is happy.

Larry deserved it. Really, all of the people on the coast did. Y'all need to soak it in.

It got damn close man. Missed it by 0.7" at the airport for a one day total. Charleston KCHS officially reported 5.3" (daily record smashed - previous was a trace in 2002)
Also likely broke the most snow in a 24 hour period in January, plus I think the previous highest monthly total in January was 1.9" shattering that.

3rd greatest 24 hour calendar day snowfall.

6.0" (12/23/89) - all day event.
5.4" (2/10/73)
5.3" (1/3/17) - airport got most of this in 2 Hours! Snowfall predominately in a 5 hour span!

Final video on the epic snowstorm I took today.

You have to use and image hosting service. Upload image will take you to postimage just upload there when it is finished, scroll down to find forum url to copy and then post image thru here with that link

Maximizing what little moisture there is, high ratio snow ripping right now about .75 so far but should go up quickly

Got a nice dusting here in Chatham. Glad it got this far west, as I didn't think it would make it.

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Does brick have snow yet?

Does brick have snow yet?

Yes.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to use "Post-Image" to post pics. I even signed up for it. Oh well.

Summary of storm at my location: I had freezing rain for like 4 hours (that started 6:15 AM) and then hour+ of sleet. Then went back and forth between sleet and snow. Then finally all snow about 12:30. Total accumulation about 1.5" of sleet and snow plus close to 0.25" ZR. This was easily the biggest winter storm here since 12/1989. After it was finished, I took a very enjoyable walk and really soaked this in as who knows how many years it will be before the next one like this.
