Kilgore Trout Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Yeah, it loos like the models are trending more to the Euro than vice versa. Even if it's not 3 to 4 inches of all snow here and there is mixing, this could be a big impact on the roads with the temps being so cold. It might be even worse if there is mixing. >>I think even a mix of the Euro and GFS could be a big mess here. It won't take much with the cold temps we will have this week to cause a glaze of ice on the roads, and that is all you need here to cause havoc. I agree. We have seen this before. Still time for things to get wetter. But even just a little bit of snow/ice will cause problems on the roads here with it being so cold. >>Yeah, a lot of folks are concerned about the low amounts of qpf. If it is all snow, it might not be as bad, but if it is ice it could be a whole other story. Whatever falls is going to stick on the roads fast with the cold we have this week. It doesn't take that much ice on the roads to cause havoc. Mix a couple of inches of snow with sleet and freezing rain and it's going to be major trouble on the roads.

lilj4425 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Ice? Possibly. You mean like penguins and Eskimos and ice? Maybe. See ya...I'm gonna go take a hot bath. I'm getting cold just thinking about all this ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bevo Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 No way I'm buying any frozen precip for the Upstate. And as far as ZR goes - I don't see it as wintry weather in a fun sense - I view it in more of an influenza strain outbreak that quarantines whole cities type of circumstance.

magpiemaniac Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I'm going camping this weekend. (Yes, I'm insane.) Not sure I want to be setting up a tent in bad conditions. Once settled in, I don't mind what the weather does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bevo Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Any updates for the Upstate? Just a friendly reminder to keep "backyard" questions limited to Banter... As far as Upstate SC - I don't expect anything but possible cold rain (little at that). This area is not situated well for the type of passage this system is running. You may see a few sleet pellets/flakes or the dreaded freezing rain, but I fully expect the precip to be given the rubber glove treatment by those hostile mountains. Getting enough qpf over those elevations is like trying to pass through US Customs with bulky pants and a passport reading your last location as Colombia SA.

Bevo Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Camping in January? Hey - what can we say. This is the south and we aren't known for prolonged frigid temps. But then, we also aren't known to make the best decisions regarding our outdoor shenanigans either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bevo Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Looks like we are going to torch for much of next week so whatever this storm brings you better enjoy it as there won't be much in the near term and it will be on to February. What kind of torch are you referring to? I didn't get a warm fuzzy that next week would be warm or fuzzy - with a day or two exception. In fact - It seems the CFS and E. weeklies may have scored somewhat of a victory when they progged weeks 3 and 4 of January to be cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He likes pretzels, funnel cakes and beef wurst. They say he smells like cabbage. ***Edited Out Of Curiosity*** BTW - if you have one of these "sighting maps", please share.

CandymanColumbusGA Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 If things keep trending better... I might have to go "ICE" chasing Friday in North Georgia. Fortunately, I already have the next two days off and was looking for something to do.... Why not do something I've always wanted to do! I could head up to ATL tomorrow to stay with my brother and figure out where my best chance of seeing something frozen would be. Now... to learn how to drive on ice.

There is no driving on ice unless you have chains or studs. I remember years ago I was sitting on a hill, dead stopped on black ice. All of sudden I started sliding... there was nothing I could do. It's a pretty helpless feeling when you're moving and you have no control over it. But hey, c'mon up anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
