  1. Not a terrible place to be though. Just need a low to pop
  2. Yeah, for sure. Some similarities to the big mid month storm, although not as amplified and less surface cold to work with
  3. Amplification is what causes the warming of the mid-levels though, so it's a delicate balance
  4. Euro gets frozen precip in the area, but about 24 hours later, so not nearly as good a look with the high having retreated to the east significantly more than the GFS
  5. One thing to keep in mind is the radical difference between the way the GFS and Euro handle the next frontal system (at around hour 84). I have a feeling the Euro won't look anything like the GFS due to the downstream implications. It's going to take a while to iron this one out
  6. I don't see this setup flipping to rain for most of the Piedmont
  7. I wouldn't say I'm excited, but this is a weather board and I'm interested in weather, regardless of the degree to which I enjoy it. Ice storms are fascinating from a meteorological perspective, even if they are the saddest of frozen precip types
  8. The 0z Icon also has a pretty significant snow to ice storm (mostly ice)
  9. About a quarter of the GFS ensembles show big mixy hits. Most of the rest are pretty suppressed or the energy cuts to our west and it's too warm
  10. The Euro on board with the storm idea. Model consensus at the moment is mid-levels will be a struggle, but as others have said, CAD may rear it's ugly head
  11. I know RDU Climo sucks, but crazy that 3"+ storms only occur about every 2-3 years. Question: how did you compile the data for multi day storms? I've been meaning to do a similar analysis for Greensboro, but only find day snowfall data out there.
  12. Seems the long range favors mixy slopfests. We shall see. This is the time of year where marginal temp events rarely work out and the wedge always wins
  13. Coming down pretty good in Greensboro, despite light radar returns
  14. Wetbulb temp of 35 in Greensboro. Just waiting for the precip to arrive
  15. I think the perception about Greensboro is drive by the fact that we do tend to cash in to some degree on most events effecting this board and tend to do well when Raleigh flips to rain. However, a lot of times, we end up stuck on the fringes, whether it's southern VA that gets the jackpot, or Fayetville.
  16. Should start to see development between 4-5 up your way. But lots of Virga until the atmosphere gets saturated
  17. Are we quite sure it's not an opening into the underworld?
  18. Anyone who gets 2"+ is going to see some pretty decent drifts with gusts in the mid 30s
  19. As someone said a few pages back, models have no idea what the qpf distribution is going to play out. Just gotta watch where the best envelope and wait for now casting. I just wish this wasn't in the middle of the night
  20. Lol, the 10:1 weenie map has 40" over my house for the full run
  21. I don't know whether to feel nervous or confident about the fact that most models have consistently put the best banding over the triad.
  22. Yep, it's some love from the ULL, with some enhancement from the jet as the trough goes negative. The mid-Atlantic forum is bemoaning the fact that all the best dynamics for this feature are down here, so that's always a good sign
