Oh cool. I didn’t know the EPA had such a big presence in RTP until I got here from Charlotte. That is a decent enough part of town. It’s about 10-15 minutes, give or take, to downtown Durham from there. If it’s a longer term thing for you after the six months, you may want to try for north of the eno if snow is important to you. You’ll do a bit better than most of the metro there but where you really want to be is north of 85 for that sort of thing. I know you think down here it won’t matter but trust me, it does make a difference.

Durham is the best place to live in the Triangle. Where are you going to be working? Do you have a place to live already? I’ve only seen one cottonmouth since I’ve been here. Mosquitos can be rough in the summer but the further you are from a body of water, they get better.

This is all post frontal(Christmas Day/evening).

Looking at the RGEM, the last two or three runs has some post frontal snow bands along the SC/NC border from roughly Cowpens to Wadesboro.

I think what got my attention is the RGEM and SREF both have interest in this. I don’t think it’s going to be a lot or even much more than a flake or two but there is a chance.

Noted the 18z GEFS upped totals for much of the foothills.

Pretty significant icing here this run.

...

18z GEFS jumped up this run: 2” mean line almost makes it to Martinsville. 1” mean line makes it to between Yanceyville and Hillsborough. Hmmm.

It looks like, in Shelby’s case, all of the members with snow with the SREF are from the ARW family. The NMB members, all of them, have zero snow.

Valid for KEHO(Shelby, NC)

I would think with a -NAO and -AO but +EPO we could be seeing some SuperCADs possible.

Control run of the Euro weeklies:

Starting to see the ECENS sort of pick up on something around New Years.

We need you around man!

That’s exactly what this pattern can produce.

I think if you understand pattern recognition for this part of the country, the fundamentals are all there for something to happen. Whining about the lack of 300 hr storms should be best left to the banter thread.

So everybody is worried there isn’t fantasy storms in the 300+ hour range? Y’all know better and I expect as much.

The #1 analog for hour 132 on the CIPS analog guidance:

I still believe it won’t end up as much but there has been an uptick on the snowfall means today on the GEFS. For example, I’ve gained half an inch from 0z last night to 18z today.

That right there is money.

There’s not a huge difference in amount but it’s the difference between nothing and something.
