1/21/2016 7:00 AM 0.02 0.2 M 0.1 M Potent upper level Alberta Clipper type shortwave moved through quickly between 4-6pm yesterday, dropping .2" of snow on the cold ground. Snow accumulated quickly on everything except the roads. The big story is the monster Miller-A headed our way that should be one of the bigger storms of the decade for us. I've never heard so much desire by seemingly everyone for lots of snow (and models are trending that way for us), I think this is because less snow likely means more ice and nobody wants that. This will likely be the biggest snow I can remember to date for me, the most accumulation I can personally remember measuring is 7-7.5" and that was last year.
1/22/2016 7:00 AM 0.18 2.2 M 2.2 M Snow began around 4am and starting mixing with sleet by 7am, since then it has changed primarily to sleet. Accumulation of 2.2" as of 7am. A very small warm layer of the atmosphere is preventing all snow, and because of this, we will see less accumulation than originally thought. We may ultimately see around 6" by tomorrow afternoon. With around a quarter inch of freezing rain accumulation. This could be a problem especially due to wind gusts of 35 mph.
1/23/2016 7:00 AM 1.05 1.8 M 4.0 M Snow in rain gauge finally melted so sorry this is late. 1.05" of precipitation from Friday at 7am to Saturday at 7am. Nearly all of it fell as sleet, adding up to an additional 1.8" of accumulation. This was an interesting winter storm, as it was expected to be mostly snow for the triad, but ended up being mostly sleet. Weather models were part of the reason for this miss, because many models showed 15+" for the triad, because they were anticipating all snow. Clearly the models were not good at anticipating the warm nose and the strength (just as models are known for being not good at forecasting the strength of the CAD, usually underestimating it), which is another thing I believe occurred. Places, like Charlotte, that were forecasted to get a half inch of freezing rain accumulation, got less than a quarter inch in many locations, because mostly sleet fell due to the CAD being stronger than anticipated. From this storm, I've seen how far we have left to go in forecasting ALL layers of the atmosphere, and how difficult it is to predict P-types, even hours before an event. Something I heard awhile ago did (at least for the precip Friday) hold true for this storm, and that is that once precip turns from snow to sleet, it doesn't turn back. Once it turned to sleet at 8am on Friday morning, I was pretty sure we were not getting over 6".
1/24/2016 7:00 AM T T M 4.0 M Flurries yesterday were really all the wrap-around moisture was able to squeeze out (at least after 7am on Saturday). Wrap-around snow showers were isolated in most of North Carolina during the day Saturday and some of the snow showers coming down from Virginia fizzled out at the NC-VA line on Saturday afternoon. Although only less than one inch of additional snowfall was forecasted during the day Saturday, we received no measurable snowfall. The reason for this may have been that nearly all the energy from the storm had transferred to off the coast, where NYC got 20-30" (a couple days before they were forecasted to get 6-10" I believe). Or maybe the system just exited faster than forecasted. Nevertheless, I'm curious as to what happened with the back side of this system. On Saturday though, we had cloudy skies and temperatures holding in the upper 20's to low 30's, so NO melting occurred. The Blizzard of 2016 has finally moved away from the east coast this morning.

2/16/2016 7:00 AM 1.30 T M 0.0 M The CAD took until around midnight last night to erode enough to get above 32 degrees. Around a tenth of an inch of ice accumulated before that though, and the heavy rain came through early in the morning, melting away all the snow on the ground.
