It's been a tough winter for the east coast, I feel bad for the MA folks, the GFS and NAM were showing big hits and the Euro flirted with them a little until heading back south. I know I would be disappointed. I still don't think we get more than 1-2" out of this event, at best. Hopefully the northern counties and the mountains get a bigger hit.

Never seen a thundersleet storm,that's been mentioned over in the storm thread as a possibility.

I've seen it thundersnow 3 times though,Mar 93,Jan 03,and Mar 09.

I'm almost 100% sure there was thunder sleet with a Feb. 2010 storm in CLT. I remember feeling so robbed. It's just loud and that's it. You'll be cursing at the sky that it isn't snow.

I actually like sleet as much as snow. My favorite storm of all time was the January 1996 storm. I was living in Wake Forest and we recieved around 5 to 6 inches of mostly sleet. 14 hours of sleet!! I even put that storm over the 20" storm of 2001. It was really cool to walk around the yard and to be six inches taller.

To be honest even if it were to trend like nobody's business and accumulate AT ALL south of the current forecast it will be gone the same day. I've always loved snow but I'm not a fan of short lived storms. I like for the snow to hang around a while. Ehhhh...I sound like a downer so I'll hush now.

Good Luck, though, to all those who may finally get that snow after all. :)

I know in GSO I've seen about 30 flakes this year and I'll be happy with anything that breaks the shutout for the year. I've lived here too long to think there can't be a warm nose, or dry slot, or any of 100 other different things that gets us shut out. I've seen 5-6 when T-1 was the forecast, and I've seen a cold rain while under a WSW for 6"+ of snow.

I love that part of it this time around, normally I would want snow on the ground for as long as possible. I have already made my peace with this winter ( or lack thereof) and see this as nothing but a bonus ...if it bust and I get nothing ( best case for my area as currently modeled right now would be around 2-4") thats fine too. I hope there is enough to let my son play in it Monday morning but that it is all gone by Monday night. Then please bring on spring I ready to go fishing.....
