BIG FROSTY Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I want believe the great pattern until we're in it... Models have had false great patterns all winter. Like someone said after the next couple weeks that models show potential I'm ready for spring temps... I hate cold damp Weather in late March and April!!!

I hate cold damp Weather in late March and April!!! Me too, because it often robs us of having a real spring. Temps go from the 40s to the 80s without spending time in between.

NavarreDon Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 If you want get a idea of a CAD......Check out some of the airport obs from WNC & E TN. Amazing temp contrast right now. Boone is 32° with light snow, Asheville is 37° with light rain, Andrews is 52° partly cloudy, Knoxville is 57° mostly sunny. Some readings in E TN are over 60°!

Cold Rain Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Here's a Brick for ya... The upcoming system we need to come north stays suppressed and the suppressed system we need to stay suppressed comes north. We can't win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that actually happens and a storm misses us wide right and the next one tracks through VA this will officially be the worst winter that I can remember. Two weeks of March really cold without atleast a 3" snowstorm would be a bitter pill. I will officially downgrade my letter grade for this winter from D+ to F-.

Just imagine if today was cold enough for snow. But it't the same old thing. When we have a lot of precip, it's too warm for snow. We we have the cold, there's no precip. It shouldn't be so hard to get a decent snow storm in central NC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sitting at a solid C right now, but if what I said happens, I'm with you and we're taking points off. I still say last winter was worse, simply for the fact that we had an all day sleet event at 25 and an all day snow event at 33 that was at least nice to look at.

If we strike out the next two weeks than I would prefer last winter over this winter. It was very warm last winter but yet we actually had a snow event that covered the grass, this year I haven't had that, I know your ground got whitened but mine hasn't. I know the people south, east and west of us actually had a real snow event and so they would disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, RAH put out their long term disco and sound increasingly optimistic on the weekend potential. It looks like it was posted at 12:45, so I guess they had not seen the new Euro yet.

If it would have fallen and stuck everywhere I'd probably give a better grade. Still sitting at D+ in my mind. If we get a nice 4 inch stick to everything event I'll up it to B+. Can I bribe the weather? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I miss the good ol' days when Allan and Robert and others would post a lot and discuss what would have to happen with upcoming systems to make them more favorable for snow and talk about possibilities and stuff.

Since the Christmas storm the euro has really been just another model. Sure, it has nailed a few big events but it has also showed a lot of false solutions. In fact, it has been beaten by the nam a few times over the past two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, this has been a down year for the Euro, except for the 2/8 NE blizzard it's been lagging on every other threat. Last week it was the last to cave to a weaker solution for the NE, the GFS was the first to really see a weaker solution. And for the 3 events we have had in the SE the GFS has led the way, the Euro was always lagging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
