dsaur Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I got 18" in 1993. It's an argument in my family. My uncle who went outside the first day measure 18". My father and mother measured 14" on day 2 but they don't understand the concept of snow compacting. That's a sweet avatar BTW and I hope you get hammered with so much sleet it will get you through the summer heat. Thank you most kindly, sir...on the avatar and the sleet I hope this dancing sucker works. I've got a lot of catching up to do with you N. Ga types. Please let me know when it begins to irritate. I don't have the good returns the Brickster has. The boy needs to do irrational standup! Oh, and I figured out the where we are deal. Chat is 115 miles or so from the Heart of Atl motel. The Ga line is somewhere south of Chat by around 12 miles or so. That puts everything inside 285 on the northern end, and a line parallel from w to e, in central Ga., lol!

Northern Foothills Snowman Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 It's amazing they can forecast a warm up a week out but a snowstorm in the SE is like giving criptanight ,probab;y not spelled right , to superman.Anyway was everyone thoughts on the rest of Feb as for winter temps and moisture?

superjames1992 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Just got done with my Physics test. I felt a lot better than I expected about it and it wasn't the horror I thought it would be! Teleconnections and analogs from my past show that when I do well on a test I think I am going to flunk in the month of February, the chances at a 6"+ snow falling within 25 miles of my doorstep are 96.67%.

Physics 1 was a breeze, calculus type... Physics 2 was hell, even armed with the TI-89 titanium it was mostly derivations based on a 7-plus page exam where you had to pick 5 pages and solve, not really complicated but the Professor made it seen like rocket science, which it kind of was.

WeatherNC Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 PY 205 or PY 208? Should be 2350-2351 (4&1 credit hours) and 2360-2361 (4&1 credit hours) in the UNC system, Calculus based 1 & 2 with lab, 5 credit hours a pop... Calc 1 and 2 are prereqs respectively Calculus-based introduction to basic principles of physics. Mechanics, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, optics, and modern physics. Double A's, not sure how on the second installment though, likely a curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burgertime Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Well at least this one failed a few days in advance and didn't give us hope till the very last minute.

Stop with the physics talk, its bringing back bad memories. Agree, got through Physics 1 with an A. Then I got to Physics 2 and barely made it through, but made just enough on my final to pass. Professor was terrible. Whenever you went to his office to ask a question, he just looked it you and said it was in your notes. I still remember, the first test, only 7 out of 42 people passed. On a weather note, whether this storm over achieves or not I'm ready for some warmth. Its about this time every year I get the first grumbling for heat, humidity and t-storm chances. Only problem is out t-storm seasons have really sucked for the past several years around here. I don't know if I can stand seeing organized lines of convection pass 50mi to my north only to watch it expand south to Charlotte as it approaches I-77.

Shane Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I like how on the National Mosaic radar, it looks like the larger southern cities are shooting lasers at the storm as it approaches.

Itunis Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Seeing how the models continue to look dismal and radar is progged to fall apart moving into GA I think FFC is right on the money with their call for the ATL area. Maybe too high for far N/NE GA. BMX is being a bit aggressive IMO, though their area should get more than FFC's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 What is the deal with the coast and southeast NC getting more snow storms now than central NC? And how come states further south than us get more snow? I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookout Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Seeing how the models continue to look dismal and radar is progged to fall apart moving into GA I think FFC is right on the money with their call for the ATL area. Maybe too high for far N/NE GA. BMX is being a bit aggressive IMO, though their area should get more than FFC's. I agree. I don't see why everyone is complaining about ffc because in this case I think they are *clearly* right with just an advisory. I think hsv/bmx is probably going a bit overboard I think on the warnings all the way to the ga border. BMX is tougher since they should have better moisture..but still it's hard to see areas in eastern alabama picking up more than 2 inches with the exception of localized areas where any heavier band might set up. However, that won't cover everyone and it seems to me an advisory is the better way to go and then if necessary upgrade. But that's just me. This isn't the first time they have gone overboard either. The system a week or two ago I thought they were high on drugs with their warnings/advisories/accumulations. The models had shifted and showed virtually no snow or just very light snow but hsv and bmx still were forecasting accumulations that just didn't seem realistic. Indeed, they ended up busting pretty badly with virtually no snow in central al and only light amounts in extreme northern al. Only thing I take exception to with ffc, is where they have the heavier amounts..favoring the mountains as usual. I don't see it happening that way as the mountains, although colder, should have less overall qpt. Although areas further south, south of atlanta to athens, could see more overall precip, temps aren't going to be terribly cold and some will not stick at first. So I think a very broad brush approach is the way to go with no area being favored for the heaviest amounts over the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Remember that they got burned on that ice storm early this Winter and a couple of high school kids died. That might be informing their alert bias somewhat. S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
