Wintry Machine Learning Mauler 1/30-2/1

[superjames1992]

I am curious how much melting is going to happen today. On the one hand, we may not top 30 degrees, but on the other we are going to have wall-to-wall sunshine. It would be amazing to make it through the day with full grass coverage, but given how powerful the sun is and how with the wind some areas of grass have as little as ~4" of snow there, I am not holding my breath.

that streamer was the difference maker there at the end @jackendrickwx

Winds ripping since the sun came out. Gusting upper 30s causing a lot of blowing snow. Even seen a snow devil in between the houses

A ton is simply going to evaporate. February sun should help the roads a lot.

Working towards making the snow map for this event. Here's the one for last weekend.

Unfortunately, lots of data gaps here as a lot of people said "ehh I'm not measuring this nonsense on the ground"

CAMs found it beforehand as well. Cool stuff. My 6" was 5.5" before the sun came up and who knows what it is now. I think I'll see blacktop before the day ends

We are still at 27 but we have lost a significant amount of the snow already. Someone posted yeaterday that the high ratio snow goes away alot faster abd that seems to be accurate

 

[griteater]

11.0 at Charlotte is 9th highest storm total of all-time, back to 1878. 3rd highest in my lifetime. 1st highest for this style of storm per re-analysis maps of upper wave dropping SE out of Canada (those types are highlighted in yellow)

The benefit we have is that the ground itself is cold, so at least we shouldn’t see much, if any, melting from underneath, like we sometimes do.

Interesting that Charlotte has more one-footers than Greensboro, although not particularly surprising with how each place gets their storms. Just not what you would expect on a quick glance at the snowfall averages.

I just told my family to expect the snow in the sun to rapidly disappear. Probably more from evaporation than melting. Which will not help our drought conditions.

 

[BullCityWx]

Just like I said, generational event.

 

[RBR71]

Congrats all that got snow!!! Sorry, photo dump and then I'm taking a break for a while. Getting water to all my animals in this stretch of winter weather has worn me out lol

Gso over the years will inevitably get those 2-3”
Storms that Raleigh and Charlotte will be too warm for, and it throws the avg. CLT and RDU are honestly both in better spots to get big dog storms; at least during my lifetime based on patterns of storms.

Great storm for most of us. Glad Raleigh got in on some action. Had radars been reversed and I had to sit 10 hours and watch guys 50-75 miles away get dumped on, would’ve felt like home honestly. I used to get so mad as a kid when that happened, now I’m just glad people around here are getting snow.

 

[Derekrsmith87]

The heavier radar returns near Goldsboro and north west are moving northwest. I have been under the band for roughly 2 hours. Measured 1" over last hour with a total of 4" having started here ~ 1800. Any one else live under these training returns? I believe I recall seeing someone from Lucama on this thread. Going to end with more than I anticipated after being in the dry area most of the day.View attachment 193016View attachment 193017View attachment 193020

Ended up totaling 6" here in Selma, NC( 25 miles ESE of Raleigh)based on 10 measurements ranging from 5.5-6.5(roughly).

Lots of mid to late Februarys on that list.

 

[DopplerWx]

Just in awe of this storm, to hit double digits is unreal. My new GOAT

 

[Weatherheels]

PTI official report 10.6” on .4 liquid. 26.5:1 snowfall rate, yeah, can we get that again in the near future? Never seen .4 liquid do so much! I Woudlve guessed nearly an inch of liquid had fallen if I didn’t know any better.

 

[disassociated_vort]

gorgeous stunning beautiful

 

[Stormsfury]

This may be true for South Carolina too.

Charleston WFO officially. 0.7" but I think you might be right.

Definitely the one that us in the to the southeast of CLT have waited a while for after the frustration of 2/2015, 1/2017, 12/2018

 

[cyclogent]

Totals still rolling in on the NWS snow reports map. Some big numbers towards the coast, the type of stuff you tell your grandkids about one day lol.

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Yep. All timer footprint. Hope y’all soaked it in

 

[Zbrown59091]

Ended with about an inch in Alpharetta. We got lucky with a decent band in the afternoon yesterday.

Still have some snow on the ground and on shaded, untreated roads. No snow at all just a few exits south of me.

 

[Downeastnc]

Definitely top 3 in my lifetime in Pitt Co

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Myrtle beach snow drifts last night

 

[Downeastnc]

Brandon Copic spent the last 4 or 5 hrs of his live stream last night riding around my town lol....

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

We shut the main road down in front of my house twice in a week. ’d January

 

[Edward Nygma]

I’m tired boss.View attachment 193187

This is how a clear satellite image would have looked over Raleigh yesterday.

 

[NCSNOW]

12.5 was total mby . Just to west of Farmer 14. 4 in Randolph county.
I have shoveled all morning, blown. Still had sleet accums , espeacilly north side house. Caught a drift up bottom of my pants pocket.
Amazing storm.

It also settles a lot..I saw dry snow can settle up to 3 inches per foot just at night. Sure enough I think I lost about 2 inches overnight from that. I went out this morning and i was like wtf..it looked less and I measured and it was mostly 4 to 5.

 

[cyclogent]

Here's another version of the snowfall map with a wider view. Like most storms involving a closed upper low, this one for sure had a funky looking footprint. Surprises for some and a disappointment for others.

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

Took a fairly long walk outside and did a lot of shooting, this is only part of it.

Starting to melt fast now, but I'm happy. My only thing is that I wish this event was Sunday instead of Saturday for this weekend round...lol. Second week of February looks pretty tasty to me now tbh...

South Carolina

 

[Mr Freeze]

This is the 24 hour snowfall map from the NWS. It’d be interesting to see how some of the late week modeling matched up with this.

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

so long

 

[Webberweather53]

Lol there were snow flurries all the way down in south Florida from this system

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Idk if this AI but I don’t believe it is

I can tell you at least here the heaviest band of snow in ne ga ended up being a bit east of most of the models..by about 20 to 30 miles or so but the overall feature was shown well. A few new 6 and 7 inch reports have come in east of athens. An 8 inch report up in Stephen's County too.
