DaculaWeather Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I know I was being sarcastic in expression of my frustration with the current setup. Oh... sorry! I've been reading in the Midwestern forum, just crazy conditions. Someday I might see that. On a side note, I saw this about South Dakota on my CoCoRaHS page today: The state is home to several well known extremes. In the town of Spearfish (located on the edge of the Black Hills in western South Dakota), a back and forth battle of warm and cold air masses led to the greatest temperature change ever recorded in North America. On January 22, 1943, the temperature at 7:30 a.m. was -4F. Two minutes later, the temperature shot up to 45F. By 8:45 a.m., the temperature reached at 55F - before plummeting back to 0F forty-five minutes later. The wild temperature swing presented motorists with visibility problems as their windshields instantly frosted when they drove into the cold zone. Plate glass windows cracked, and many pine trees were damaged by the rapid freezing and thawing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgertime Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I know this is outside the SE region, but how do the models look for snowfall amounts in East/SE Texas Late Thursday into Friday morning? Local mets here forecasting 1-3" with possibly 6-8" and up to a foot in meso banding. What do the experts here think? Lol well I guess it is the banter thread..what part of SE TX do you live in? Lufkin to Huntsville have the best shot...on the 18z NAM snow map it has them in 2-4 the border of LA is in 4-8 north of Beaumont. I would say 2-4 is a safe bet. Interestingly enough it looks like San Antonio might get a flurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherNC Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Can someone tell me why the SE is in storm mode ? . 100% chance of WAA tonight... Love going to bed knowing it will be warmer when I wake up compared to right now. If it were not for being knee deep in school I would have chased this storm to IN or IL, I kicked the idea around with the wife on Saturday, but I have so much crap going on this week there is no way I could have. Looking forward, big storm coming for those who take up residence in the Hudson Straight around day 8-9. GFS has it <940 and Euro is around 950, may chase that one For us, we have about another 5 weeks than probability really tanks thereafter. I have seen it SN here in April, with a frontal passage no less, but after the first week of March that precip type becomes much harder to come by. Honestly, I think we are done here in the Coastal Plain. I see no indication the blocking will return over the next several weeks, and while it could flip during the second half of the month, even that is no guarantee we get another widespread sn storm. I am almost at 300% my seasonal avg, and statistics alone would argue thats about it, considering we were close to 300% last year. Hopefully we can get this kind of setup in March or April as my forecast for tomorrow would likely have more than a slgt chance of thunder.

burgertime Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Houston. Here is the latest NWS discussion. Yea 1-3 sounds right, I don't know enough about your local climo but Houston is on the edge of probably 2-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjames1992 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Question: What is the measure of a good SN-storm? 4" or more, IMO. Might even say 6", but despite getting four of them since 3/1/09, those are too rare to have that as the definition. Can someone tell me why the SE is in storm mode ? . The deep south snowstorm coming later this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrips27 Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Question: What is the measure of a good SN-storm? I'd go 4"+ is considered a good storm, 6"+ is great, 8"+ is epic here in the SE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 From my experience in the foothills, my measure was always 4"+ = ok, 6"+ = good, 8"+ = great, 10"+ = epic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Rain Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Question: What is the measure of a good SN-storm? At least 12 inches. Anything less than that is not a snow storm. It's just snow. Blah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullCityWx Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 From my experience in the foothills, my measure was always 4"+ = ok, 6"+ = good, 8"+ = great, 10"+ = epic Sounds about what i'd come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burrel2 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I'd say 3+ is good, 6+ is great, and 8+ would be epic for me since the biggest snowfall I have ever received is this year's 6 inch event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonGA Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 It depends on how long ive been without snow. A couple of years ago Id take any snow. Now Id be disappointed with less than 4". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 still waiting on the rain to arrive. I see there's already been some good amounts in Ga , but so far nothing but sprinkles here. The models dropped from 1" to .50" here now and looking at the convection developing in Southeast Alabama, a prime robbery spot for my area, I'm going to strongly doubt .50" here now.

RDU finished at 100% for the winter, kind Of blows considering a lot of people finished much better. I hope we don't get snow in March! I want an early spring. What ORD is experiencing is what I consider the perfect snow storm, and not because of the amounts. The models had this progged for a week now, it never really wavered for them, it started at a perfect time, they got to watch it occur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strongwxnc Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 impo, I have to go with 5+ being s solid snow storm. Anything more than that is a bonus. Until 12" then it becomes F-ing awesome Question: What is the measure of a good SN-storm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
