  1. Meanwhile...the HRRR had us reaching 71 today, which would smash the daily record of 69.
  2. So here's my thinking. Certainly the track of the system more inland is a problem for the Piedmont of NC, as we don't get a chance to be west of the track until the system has spun down. But the other issue seems to be that the SLP is running out ahead of the ULL and the SLP is getting elongated. We need them to be more stacked in order for the better dynamics and access to the cold pool to come into play. See these two model runs 6z this morning vs 6z yesterday morning:
  3. Yeah, follows the trend of stalling and running the surface low inland while the ULL hangs back west of the APPS, so no cold to be found
  4. I think the issue is the storm kinda stalls out and never gets past us.all the cold air aloft slowly disapates
  5. I think we should have a little more clarity once this complex trough interaction takes place in the next 36 hrs. I can't imagine models are going to Handle it perfectly, and it will have a pretty big effect on our ULL
  6. Pretty much in line with the OP. Only time I pay any attention to ensembles is to see if they have agreement or not, otherwise the details aren't so important. Especially with the complexity of the ULL, banding etc., Not being handed so well at the lower resolutions
  7. Yeah, it runs too far inland for anyone east of the mountains. Hopefully 18z runs can stop the trend.
  8. A touch closer to the coast than last run, but this looks good
  9. This makes sense. I think we kinda want to start rooting for a more progressive system at this point. In general, modeling has slowed down over the past 48 hours of runs.
  10. @Upstate Tiger posted the first map of this threat. He can take it home?
  11. A little more inland than we'd like, but not bad
  12. Running now. Looks like an improvement to me (further south, stronger ULL)
  13. I agree! Not intending to be negative (should have drank my coffee before posting). Just trying to keep in perspective that we are still, even with positive trends more likely to miss on significant accumulations that cash in. But this is by far the best shot we've had this winter.
  14. Overnight runs aren't necessarily all that great. Yes, models are currently converging towards an ideal track and evolution of The ULL. But not only is this very much subject to change, but the Euro shows, how even a pretty good outcome, which is like, 90% of the way to the GFS, just doesn't get the job done. Also the 0Z GFS tracked like 50 miles more inland which pushes the piedmont out of the good banding. 50 miles further east and you get something more like the Euro. It's delicate to say the least and we have at least 48 hours before we can really know what's going to happen.
  15. The ICON is a solid hit. Looks a lot like the GFS, although a hair more progressive. A big improvement from last run
  16. The first time we get NAMed, seems like a reasonable cutoff
  17. The Euro is a much weaker/less dynamic system. If it is correct about the strength of the system, then absolutely. but if the GFS played out as depicted, central NC would be snow. I guess the problem we run into, is somewhere in between probably wouldn't cut it, at least east of 85.
  18. I think the Mid-Atlantic forum would have to be melted down and sold for scrap if that happened and they got left out
  19. Yep. Getting out of Powerball into scratch-off territory. Matching three numbers instead of 8
