Major sleet bomb for the northern 1/2 of NC

Just a few hundred miles south of its last run, no big deal

Raleigh to Va Beach looks like as good a shot as that area’s had in 6 years for a major snow

The MA forum actually now has 2 storm threads because the first one didn’t work out for them

If it’s after 9 they should be fine once they get out of the neighborhood

I’m assuming its more juiced up

Ouch

I was surprised to see that. Don’t think we hit 40 here either

Wow. RDU gusted to 59 and Fayetteville gusted to 61. Guess it was just random vs widespread

Richmond fringed now

If the bar is 5-10” between models going into this for Raleigh I think we’ll be OK… Snow maps aside, the heaviest snow extending from triangle NE is pretty uniform on models at this point, and aligns with the major ensembles. I’d focus more on that than extrapolating totals from op runs

There is no denying it now, and it’s painful given the ongoing snow drought there, but the foothills are trending to a non event. There is time to correct, but the trend is concrete at this point. If the EURO verified, this would be RDUs biggest snow storm since 2002

RGEM was a nice hit for Raleigh-East. All snow 64-north. Foothills completely blanked…

We’re holding on for posterity when this trends to a 1-3” mixed bag at most it will be remembered a “major” 1-3” mixed bag

Looks like it’s going to have some more amped members

This is the last I’ll say about it but the day before is in the mid 50’s here ground temps will not be frozen. Let’s get the storm cranking so this doesn’t matter!

I watched my Jan snow melt away completely with a high of 28 late February it absolutely is an issue with light daytime precip! Let’s hope the GFS isn’t correct and we have rates so it doesn’t matter! If it’s coming down moderate-heavy it won’t matter at all

Two words: sun angle. Yes I said sun angle. I don’t care if it’s 25 degrees it will not stick in the middle of the day this time of year unless it’s ripping and that 0.25” will be half wasted in melting. Late February it’s guaranteed to be wet roads unless you have rates. We’ve seen this time and time again. I guarantee if the GFS verified no one on here would have snow covered roads. There’d be black ice the next day for sure. I love daytime snow except in late season bc it doesn’t stick unless it’s ripping. Good news is we have plenty of models showing more QPF and banding so this is moot unless the GFS verified.

With it falling in the afternoon and midday and light rates, GFS is wet roads and grass maybe covered

Though impactful bc it’s frozen precip, the GFS is a nuisance event and falls almost entirely in the afternoon with light rates. It’s probably a WWA storm for everyone but SE VA. Pathetic

Oh it’s pretty dang dry. About 0.25” of QPF

GFS is gonna be a 4-5 hour storm lol

Sounds like RAH has been on the southeast forum this afternoon! Literally sounds like this thread

We received 0.71” which brought our weekly total to 3.16”

lol reverse NAM’d!
