Wintry Winter Mischief For Upper SE 3/12/18

[ForsythSnow]

I saw some graupel mixing with the rain about an hour ago before I left for work. It was definitely unexpected.

Never mind, getting light graupel now.

NAM has been consistent with at least a couple of inches here.

That localized 2 to 3 inch spot in northern Wake looks nice to me.

You take these maps way too literal....

No, just happy seeing some snow fall with this. As long as the maps show some snow, I'm good.

RAH increased totals in the Triad.

Just now ·
1015 am.. We've increased snow totals in the Triad to 2-3 inches where it's snowing steadily and accumulating. Some locally higher amounts are possible

I never said that. I said accumulating snow.


I said the H5 low wouldn't track far enough south to bring in enough cold and dry air for accumulating snow outside the mountains and higher elevations (i.e. Foothills). Sorry if you're getting snookered by the NAM.

Nope, didn't get snookered. There are winter storm warnings east of the higher elevations for accumulating snowfall. Heavy snow falling in many areas. Once again, an upper level low delivers the goods. Seen it many many times in the past 50 years.

Wake Co schools dismissing 3 hours early.

There’s your accumulating snow already east of the mountains, heavy snow already occurring near and just NW of Greensboro according to friends near Oak Ridge in Guilford County

The rain-snow line is closing in fast on the Triangle.

The rain-snow line is closing in fast on the Triangle.

And it has already been overperforming to the west compared to RAH's earlier forecast.

I'm in downtown and it looks like light rain at the moment here.

Heavy snow reported at Elon in Burlington.

Heavy snow still here in GBoro. Wind is whipping it into a frenzy at times now.
I SURE AM ENJOYING THIS MID ATLANTIC SNOW STORM.

How much accumulation do you and packfan have thus far and when did it change over?
