strongwxnc Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Welcome to AMWX Queen. This place can be the best around. This might be the winter of "yep, but it is 10 days out" maybe not. Either way Please post often Hey Everyone..I am new here! I have been visiting the boards during the winters for awhile now, and just signed up this year. My interest is winter weather. I am trying to learn from you all and enjoy reading your educational comments as well as even sometimes your arguments. It's like a soap opera..LOL Unfortunately, I won't have much to contribute to your expert discussions so I will try and refrain from making weenie comments myself. BTW, I voted for Brick.....

Snowless in Carrollton Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 KATL has not seen a sub 50 degree high the whole month of December. That is ugly. And yet I think KATL did have a sub 50 high in November ! Also, KATL has been at or above normal every day since Dec 12. That's 19 straight days !

LithiaWx Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Well my CoCoRaHS gauge was delivered today. I went ahead and signed up for CoCoRaHS reporting and got my station setup! I will post pictures of the gauge setup tomorrow morning! Some of you guys have seen how horrible my rainfall reporting was, now I will have some accurate measurements. Also it looks like my new station was right in the middle of an area void of stations so I fell really good that I can contribute to the network and the board now with my precip totals! I'm station GA-CB-25, you can see it's in a nice location for the network as it was missing data over Marietta before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrips27 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I'm GA-CB-23. I haven't been keeping up with reporting measurements, but I plan to restart at the new year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgertime Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Man if the coastal sections get another surprise snow and end up with more for the year than MBY I think we might need to sacrifice Brick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Queen Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Thanks to you all for the warm welcomes! I haven't ever been on any other boards previously, but do check in from time to time on Talk Weather. It's pretty uneventful compared to this one..... Welcome Snow Queen to the best American has to offer...the SE Crew Welcome to AMWX Queen. This place can be the best around. This might be the winter of "yep, but it is 10 days out" maybe not. Either way Please post often I appreciate your support. And you're hot. Welcome Snow Queen...You're right, this place can get soap opera-ish at times. A lot of us have been around for years now and that can lead to arguments. Especially some of us that come from the old WWBB and Eastern days. If you think it can get bad here, you should of seen it then. Anyway, welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packbacker Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 So bored...so here is some useless facts for the RDU area... 1. Once in the past 125 years has RDU not seen at least a trace of snow. So we are almost guaranteed to see flakes this winter. 2. 113 of the past 125 years RDU has had measurable snow (90% of the time). 3. 101 of the past 125 years RDU has had at least an inch of snow (80% of the time). 4. The average seasonal snowall those 101 years averages roughly 9". 5. The past three "great" winters RDU has only averaged 8" :-( The good news is we should see flakes this winter! :-) Almost forgot, I stole these facts from Allan's great site, which he just updated. http://raleighwx.americanwx.com/TopRDUSnows.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsaur Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Yeah I noticed that as well, November did have a sub 50 day and even with the latest cool spell KATL can't go below normal lol. Still +4.8 for the month. What's interesting about that heal island effect is, when it matters, you will most likely get whatever it is first. It is always cold enough in Marietta, if it is cold enough elsewhere. But your daily readings skew the mean. All the years I lived in Highland/Va, Marietta was the place you knew would be getting snow, particularly in a borderline situation. I can't tell you how many times when I was a kid, Marietta got snow and I got squat on the ne side. If Atl gets flurries, Marietta will get some of the biggest flakes, lol.

T You are exactly right Tony. I frequently find myself on the edge of the rain/snow line, I don't think I can explain it any better than you just did.

MotoWeatherman Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 You are exactly right Tony. I frequently find myself on the edge of the rain/snow line, I don't think I can explain it any better than you just did. Growing up just north of Tony and south of the ATL airport in Jonesboro, I got tired being below the rain/snow line. So in 2001 I bit the bullet and moved way north of ATL to Dawsonville and now Dahlonega. Since I've been up here for 10 years, every 2"+ snowfall that I have received, someone south of me has gotten more. But I can say I've probably gotten 3 to 4 1" type of events when my friends south of me got squat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Even if they keep temps up, I hope the clouds don't breakup before sunrise here, need something to keep the ducks and geese flying low tomorrow. Otherwise 2011 ends with a bummer in both the weather and hunting department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can say I've probably gotten 3 to 4 1" type of events when my friends south of me got squat. Yeah, I definitely got more borderline events in Buckhead, or over off Hiland though I've gotten some bigger events down here than I got up there. But, like you say, not as many of the little ones that can make or break a year. I think Jonesboro is in the fuzzy place along with the airport where a different weather takes place, lol. I've seen me get huge amounts, north of downtown do well, and Jonesboro get scraps. That is just bizzaro world up around the airport. I re-painted a sign once for Avis at the airport, or Hertz maybe. A pretty big sign. It was greasy with jet juel. I mean coated so badly I had to clean it a number of times with terp and acetone, etc. I was stunned at how coated everything is up around the airport with fuel. Has to be affecting the weather up there Those planes are spraying unburned fuel all over up there at low altitude way out from the airport. Well, sure Jonesboro is right in between the bigger amounts of liquid to the south, and the colder air to make bigger amounts from less precip, to the north....but surely the planes play a roll, lol. I always though Gainesville got lots of snow too when I was a kid. I realize now they were getting good cad a lot, and clippers. I think Marietta can do well in clippers that never make it across the river. I remember the 70's in Buckhead as being really sn,ip, z filled, but the storm I really, really wanted was the Macon snow in 73 What I got that year was the worst ice storm in forever in Atl. Then I came down here and got the second worse ice storm in forever, lol. and one of the best 3 sleets, and the deepest snow. I don't get as many down here, but they make up for it in impact when they hit big. But it was certainly a big disappointing winter last year down here. Cold enough but moisture starved.
