So the Euro, GFS, and CMC all had the storm for the same time and similar totals, and now they have it to the south. Seen this before and in the past it ended up trending NW.
Hope this one is for real. Looks like what the models were showing for tomorrow's storm a week out, and we know how that turned out.
But I am going to stay positive. Let's get this!
Anyone got a pic of the CMC?
Hope next weekend is a legit shot at snow here and not this mix to rain crap. We usually get 3 shots at snow at the most for my area. I think anything 3 inches or more would be considered a good storm since we only average about 6 inches of snow here for winter.
So, the January 2000 Carolina Crusher happened because the models showed the track of the system was too far off the coast, meaning no precip. This one the models say will be too far inland, causing the air to warm too much for snow.
No, besides the mountains, most of NC is not getting pure snow. Most of NC will get sleet, freezing rain, and rain if the forecast is right. I usually do better than Raleigh with snow because I am further north.
I think it's simply because most of NC isn't getting pure snow, and half the posters are from here. They checked out and are looking for the next storm.
