DopplerWx Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Currently hanging out of my window with a flashlight, nothing yet. Some light returns are sitting on top of me so I guess it is a matter of if/when they can make it to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAD_Wedge_NC Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Thanks...glad to hear you don't think there will be a torch. The one I seem to remember the most was allan's. I think he had us like plus 4 or 5 for the month. (Again, Allan If I am mistaken, I apologize). And I seem to remember a lot of maps with above to much above normal temps here for december. But again I just quickly glanced over them so maybe I'm wrong. Even though I'm snowless/and freezing rainless, Color me pleasantly surprised regardless since I don't recall a single december forecast that wasn't above average here. At any rate, HKY pointed out the much above sst's near greenland recently so I'm hoping that keeps the -nao going. Looks like the blob of best moisture/precip is going south of me but Looking outside it's Interesting to note the bank of low level moisture in the form of altocumulus/stratocumulus coming this way. Maybe that will be enough to allow a few tiny flakes to reach the surface here. I've enjoyed the appearance of the clouds today. Weather NC can confirm........ I post a NC winter outlook every October on another board and I had Dec as our coldest month at negative 1.5 degrees with normal snowfall. This may indeed be too warm if the extreme solutions verify for later this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I remembered December being progged by most as average or slightly below average with January and February both above average. But my memory may be faulty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanc2001 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 KILM NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 5 PM WEDNESDAY...WE HAVE UPDATED THE FORECAST TO INCLUDE SNOW FLURRY POTENTIAL TONIGHT SOUTH OF A LINE FROM DARLINGTON AND FLORENCE TO MARION AND MYRTLE BEACH. AN ENERGETIC UPPER DISTURBANCE HAS MEAGER MOISTURE TO WORK WITH BUT IS DOING AN IMPRESSIVE JOB CREATING RADAR ECHOES DESPITE ALL THE DRY AIR IN THE LOWEST 7000-12000 FT OF THE ATMOSPHERE. RECENT REPORTS OF SNOW AND SNOW FLURRIES IN EASTERN GEORGIA GIVE SOME CONFIDENCE TO THIS UPDATED FORECAST. RADAR ECHOES WILL PROBABLY EXTEND SOME DISTANCE NORTH OF THE LINE WE HAVE DELINEATED IN OUR FORECAST...BUT THE DEPTH OF THE DRY AIR BELOW THE MID-CLOUD BASE INCREASES WITH LATITUDE AND WILL BECOME PROHIBITIVE FOR FLAKES TO REACH THE GROUND. WE WILL CONTINUE TO CLOSELY MONITOR THIS SITUATION GIVEN HOW POORLY THE MODELS RESOLVED THIS SCENARIO JUST 24 HOURS AGO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormsfury Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Also there are some nice returns over summerville at the moment. where's stormsfury at? Was working earlier and peeked out a few times. Had a few novelty flurries about half an hour ago but at this time nothing I can see even with a bright band just off to my south.

eyewall Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 When moving here nearly 3 years ago, my number one goal was to see snow on the beach/palms...got my wish last year with 4". Quite an amazing sight in a surreal sort of way. That was definitely quite a storm. I was in the relative minimum for NC as far season snow totals even compared to coastal areas because of that event. We still had a 3 inches out of it though.

BullCityWx Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 want to go there this year If you can manage, do it on a weekday and either early or later in the evening. You also want to get off on the Belmont Abbey exit(#26) from I-85 then approach the lights from 29/74 westbound. Whatever you do, don't use the 85 exit all the people from Charlotte use. You'll wait forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
