I think that most of us know not to take ANY map seriously whatsoever, especially in a situation like this. Pick your favorite dart, let 'er rip and see what happens...
That is what is exciting about tomorrow. I have zero expectations (and no one else in our immediate area should) so with that, it will be fun to see if we have a few passing rain/snow showers, a few inches of snow, or something in between.
Nice batch of precip moving up into Adams/Franklin...my wife is heading over to 81 and taking it all the way down to 77. Think any of that precip is freezing on contact?
Another factor is rates...seems like the rain might be moderately heavy for a while Sunday. If that's the case at 32 degrees freezing rain won't be an issue on roadways.
I don't think definitive statements can be made in this situation. I can give you a boatload of storms where Harrisburg N&W was locked in ice while I'm 36 and rain. Could it be a mess here? Absolutely. But I wouldn't be shocked if it's mostly wet after sunrise Sunday here.
Agree especially about Monday and the coastal development. I have zero expectations, just was noting that the European model verbatim would be awfully close to something.
Problem is...we do close misses really well.
Personally, I thought the winds here around sunrise were worse than during times we're under High Wind Warnings. My house was shaking repeatedly.
Happy Thanksgiving all!
I'm actually rooting against this one. Wife and kids are traveling Sunday to the mountains of North Carolina...last year, they were racing a storm that dropped between 18" and 30" across the High Country, and now it's looking like they might have some travel concerns this year as well.
I'm rooting for the 12/5 storm.
@Blizzard of 93 I just saw the CTP discussion you posted from last evening. Have to say that's one of the most bullish ones I've ever seen from them. Having said that, I believe it was one of the red taggers in the sub to our south say yesterday that this is a storm that no one should either dismiss or count on...way too much can go wrong. (or right)
Ha! It's nice to look at and nothing more at this point. So much volatility and moving pieces that it will be 2-3 days before anyone has any idea about what might happen. Probably the safest thing to say right now is it's highly unlikely the final outcome will match those maps.
I know they're trying to offer a quick visual overview of potential impact but I want to gouge my eyes out every time I see those graphics.
We all learn differently and apparently that isn't the method that connects with me.
