strongwxnc Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Truth talk no hype foster ! I plan to watch this damn at light until the rain stops or I see some snow ! On 1/18/2013 at 1:56 AM, beanskip said: Just a rain event in Shelby as back side of precip draws near. Maybe another hour or so of precip -- but temps stuck around 37 (just like the GFS said they would be EVERY SINGLE RUN in the past few days). Three lessons (re)learned: 1) Cold chasing precip rarely works 2) The models are not oblivious to the effects of dynamic cooling -- if a powerhouse upper low is moving through and the models still don't show your location getting below freezing, they are probably right. 3) The RAP is a great tool within 12 hours of the event, if used properly -- two trends emerged this morning into this afternoon a) the 500 low tracked slightly farther north it weakened. Those two factors definitely affected the result of this storm. Congrats to all who saw snow -- about to be 25 months and counting in Shelby.

packbacker Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 All snow in Apex, flipped about 5-10 mins ago. Now we need to keep the precip going, the dry slot should stay just south of wake county as the band pivots east, I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beanskip Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Hang in there! Two more lessons: 1)I'm not going to let people call me a "negative nancy" just because I'm calling it like I see it. 2) If the RPM says you're not getting snow 3 hours before the event -- PACK IT IN!!!!

Freeze Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Flakes to rain ratio has suddenly increased. Maybe 15% flakes to rain now. That's the best ratio so far. We will see if this means the beginning of the changeover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone "deserves" a nice bout of snow, it's you for all of your dedication and play by play model analysis. Still plenty of winter left, though.
