I dont see us warming up much until early morning Millz. Im at 29 and falling and there is not much wind. The freezing line is well to our south. I know it will be 50 tomorrow but Im going to build a fire and enjoy this little bit of winter.

This should answer a lot of questions, at-least in terms of what folks are seeing on the ground. Valid 5pm, based on the 21z RUC at a t-step of 1 hour.

Hmm I am wondering if some precip will sneak in a bit early. The earlier the better of course.

That is the weathertap winter color table, almost like weenie-vision as to what is reaching the ground, but it can be more accurate than the base one I have during these types of events. I upgraded from L2 to L2A this summer, as they gave me a credit for the money already spent on L2, and a portion of that used towards a future upgrade, which was a win imo. Our best case scenario is that the QPF gets in here earlier than progged, which trends downstream are encouraging, as is the case sometimes (most of the time) with overrunning events. If the bulk of this falls between 7am - 1pm, we would be in for a wintery mess, but that remains to be seen as it basically comes down to a nowcast at this point. Should make for an interesting 0z run though, as we are tracking a light event inbound, and maybe a more sig event in the 3-5 day... :snowman:

OT: L2 is just amazing on the 24" 1920x1200 display, to bad that it runs on the PC in the master bedroom, when my sidearm is usually the 15" Macbook Pro!

Hey guys...back from my last exam at 8am this morning, and work in the pharmacy.... now ready for the disco and obs :weight_lift:

NC State University is delaying 8am exams until 10am, and 1pm exams until 2pm (not sure why on the last, but whatever works!)

Nothing here so far, probably will not be much anyway. I cannot complain due to the beautiful snow I just had.

Here, I have freezing drizzle, fairly steady. Cars, outdoor furniture, etc, is already covered in ice, my driveway is patchy but the patches are growing. The street looks a little wet, like it would if it were really foggy, but it's frozen too. And my wife is driving home in it right now.

You can see my conditions below.

The radar imo looks awful.. Theres really not much moisture at all to work with.. Does anyone think the radar returns will continue to spread as it moves toward NC or is this basically what we have to work with???

Hallucinations are normal at this stage, but the QPF envelope over E KY, E TN, W VA, S WV, and W NC will blossom over the next 10 hours, don't worry, the moisture is coming...

WSW and :facepalm: , wtf Frosty, don't tell me you are hallucinating too, but I have a feeling you are not, maybe just a little to trigger happy with that front end device, which should get a soft run out of this, WSW and all..
