Itstrainingtime

Well they will most certainly have the winds - everything I've seen points to somewhere between 50-65 mph along with the snow.

Part of me wants to go see it. I can't since I just was away for 2 weeks, but I love OBX and have spent a lot of time there. I think it would be awesome to experience a snowstorm in such a beautiful place.

I wasn't going to say this but since you sort of baited me, I will - I'm being completely honest...it "felt" colder in Florida both when I arrived back on the 18th and when I left on the 27th. The combination of temps in the 30s with sustained 20+mph winds and the cold down there is different...it's not as dry down there so it actually feels colder than it does up here. When I was in Jacksonville on Tuesday morning the real feel was 12. It was really, really cold. On the flip side, there were several days last week when it was hot. Mid to high 80s temps with low 70s dewpoints. So I really had a chance to experience the best and worst of Florida's climate in one single trip. Really fascinating how it all went down. I'll add that I'm happy to be home. My trip was an entirely solo trip. (my wife and I are perfectly fine ) I was doing some scouting/research for some opportunities I'm investing in as I transition into retirement in the next several years. I'll share more when it's appropriate.

Back home sweet home. 12 degrees. Ran into a wintry landscape in southern VA. Only difference is down that way the entire pack IS a glacier. It is about 4-5" of ice. Incredible.

Give me 981 off VA Beach please.

I'm coming home tomorrow after 2 full weeks on the road. Great trip, will be even better to be back in my own bed. Shame though. I have no hope for this weekend. Our new friend the mouse has made it clear we need to move on. Well that settles that.

You forgot to post the GEFS...

Getting ready to crawl up the coast this morning. The real feel a while ago was 12 here. 12.

25/11 - Jacksonville FL this morning.

Oh, don't worry...he posted the same thing in the Philly thread. And in the MA thread... He's got one agenda and I hope a mod can send him packing. He's right about one thing...he said he isn't Ji, and he's right. Ji can be a pita but he does add a ton of value. Mickey is here to troll and troll only.

Yeah, just your run of the mill 3.5 footer in Salisbury.

Look at his post history.

Yeah...something tells me that if it looked good, you wouldn't have posted...

Thank you for that. Life is full of opportunities to grow. I try and learn from mistakes and be better in life because of them. My journey continues (literally and figuratively right now) and I will continue to strive to be a better poster, but more importantly...just a better human being. And in my line of work, that is one thing that stands out to me - our culture today has lost the value of treating others well.

You've made 45 posts. I'm pretty sure that at least 30 have the word "whiff" in them. I sincerely hope you aren't here to be a troll.

Drove from Key West clear up to Jacksonville today. Left at 5am and it was 76/72. Here in Duvall it's currently 40/19. 53 drop in dewpoint. #cultureshock

Pouring rain here now as the cold front blasts through Florida.

CTP has my low that morning 23 degrees higher than that model output.

You were probably in NYC.

Certainly could be one of the coldest weeks since January 16th to 22nd 1994. Harrisburg had SIX sub-zero readings that week and three of them were sub-negative 10. -14, -21 and -22. Those numbers will be tough to match ever again.

Do a little work on the ridge axis out west and next weekend's threat could emerge again.

Yep. That's why I said at lunchtime that I feel the NAM excels at thermals. It's an elite model for a very specific purpose. MillvilleWx just commented on that in the MA thread. Seems like we go through this with every storm. NAM is ridiculed by so many but for Miller Bs and a primary west of us I will take it to the bank. Though to be completely truthful...a lot or times it actually underdoes both the extent of mixing and the speed of changeover. Everything else? I toss if it's on it's own.

Looks like according to JNS radar, Etown is literally riding the line. Might be the only spot in Lanco snowing?

@Mount Joy Snowman according to my son, big flakes are mixing in again at his casa in Etown. Now almost all snow!

100% correct! I'd guess most areas will tack on a couple of inches of additional accumulation in the form of sleet. So if you had 8" of snow you may very well reach double figures when it's done. If you don't/didn't measure at transition time you might record half of what you actually got due to sleet compaction.
