Good luck getting that! I knew we were sunk when I woke up at 3am and the temps were still around 37 and the radar was anemic. I'll take my rate driven dusting this afternoon and join you in February.
This is so pathetic I'm not even going to bother sending the drone up. A few flakes in Kernersville but the radar trends say its going to shut down for a couple of hours, at least. The only thing that got my attention was the quick drop in temps over the last couple of hours once the solid returns moved in. Down to 34 pretty quickly.
Spitting just a few flakes in Stuart Va at the farm. Otherwise squat there and squat here in Kvegas. Happy to see a few folks outside the mountains woke up to at least a dusting!
Finally got down to 37° after being stuck at almost 40° for a couple hours. Now I feel like we're headed in the right direction. Precip will move into the Triad by 1am. Lets go!
This first wave is gonna flip to all snow as it crosses the Va border tonight. Maybe @Buddy1987 @BornAgain13you have some early wins to look forward to.
Why does it seem like this first wave is multiple hours ahead of schedule? My forecast, and RAH, is saying snow well into the afternoon tomorrow. Thats a loooong event if the precip shield fills in.
Where are all the snow reports from the mountains? Radar lighting up everywhere out west!
Nevermind...I see all those altitude afflicted folks are too good to come over here and post in the obs thread. They have their own little special drinks and probably even a secret handshake for get togethers.
39.9 in the heart of the Triad. 36 on the farm in Stuart. Progress!
For you north of Danville, yes. But in the central piedmont and as you move down towards CLT no. Even the last guidance from RAH is calling for wet snow with surface temps just above freezing.
Oddly enough, if you take DT's call map and slide it 50-75 miles southwest like I said earlier you end up with what looks like the RAP forecast here. I can easily see this being our outcome.
Sounds to me like you've been reading that special weather book written by some crusty old lifetime North Carolinian called "33 and rain: A story of my life and North Carolina Winter Weather". Most of us have that book on the shelf in these parts and drag it out at least once each year.
