I've directed the majority of my attention of late towards my AMS project in Seattle this January so I haven't been on here as much of late, as many of you are probably aware, but this was definitely an interesting storm for a multitude of reasons, and all the canonical NW trend, isentropic upglide, and over performing warm nose short-medium range tendencies were all synergistically at play. Overall, this storm was probably one of the biggest busts for me here in Raleigh. I expected at a very minimum a few inches of snow & sleet, and most likely thought we'd see 4-8" of snow/sleet, instead we wasted so much of the QPF on rain early on, received less QPF than forecast, and aside from that, watching the rain-snow line get to within 5 miles of my location in Wake County only to stop and turn back towards the NW during the height of the event was extremely heart wrenching... The heaviest precipitation here came in the form of freezing rain/rain, of course it was too warm (31-32F) and coming down too heavy to really accumulate on anything except on some very well exposed, elevated surfaces, and limited the amount of CAA here. Then when we finally started to cool down somewhat, we changed over to heavy sleet with the rain-snow line once again mere miles to my northwest over Durham-Butner... I guess the one positive was how impressive the backend of the storm was here... We didn't change over to snow until mid-late morning (~930 AM), but it snowed for about 5 hours straight with sustained winds of 15-20 mph and occasional gusts up to 30 mph, with temperatures in the lower 20s... Perfect recipe for a quick accumulation of fluff with ratios ~ 15-20:1... I also can't complain that temperatures here are dropping into the single digits and my first day of classes is cancelled tomorrow, ironically all on my 21st birthday.
