CranberryWX Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Afternoon before the storm and it's sunny and warm at 54 IMBY. WSW still out for my part of WV...waiting for an afternoon update. My guess looking at the precip maps is 2-4" of wet snow. Leaving on a previously planned trip to Lewisburg, WV area late morning Sunday. Forecast calls for 10" on the higher elevations there. We'll be around 2200' at our destination. Looking forward to watching the snow fall during dinner Sunday evening. It should be prime for picture taking Monday morning before the snow begins melting.

adelphi_sky Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Just drove to Boone, NC from Maryland for something planned a few months ago. Seems like I timed it perfectly for snow. They just upped their forecast to 4-8 inches here. We leave on Monday. Should be interesting. What is more interesting is that on the drive up, temps were in the high 50s and no snow on the ground and this is ski country. Temps right now are still in the 50s.

TalcottWx Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 However... Models do have all of that precip push offshore.. all of the snowfall is supposed to come out of the s/w over tx.. when it phases with the s/w to its north... imagine if that didn't happen..
