WilkesboroDude Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Statement out for Wilkes and Surry County...2-3+ inches already fell near Boone. Special Statement Statement as of 7:55 PM EST on February 07, 2013 ... A wet coating of snow is possible through early tonight... A wintry mix of precipitation has set in with locations at higher elevations... above 3500 feet... reporting mainly snow. Locations at lower elevations are reporting a mix of some wet snow... sleet and rain. An additional inch or so of accumulation is possible through early tonight at the higher elevations while other areas may see just a slushy coating stick to the grass. Dense fog will also lower visibilities along the ridges and make for hazardous driving conditions. Mbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bob Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 The elementary manner in which you assert synoptic reasoning, either by directly quoting what the professionals write or basing something on pretty basic weather terms, leads me to believe you are not. If you are, I aplogize, but I have a pretty good idea which tv station you work or here in the East. This is a pretty sh_tty post....JMO...either moderate or not but don't cut down credibility unless you have a valid reason you are willing to share since we are not privy to whatever IP stuff you are looking at.

It's a pretty well known fact you do not like my posting style, for whatever reason, it goes back a couple years so whatever I say usually rubs you the wrong way, and I am ok with that. He claimed to be a degreed Met, based on reviewing his ~150 posts, the language, fluency I would expect in conveying a message is not there. If he is, I apologize, we have a couple stations here in Eastern NC with broadcast mets who spent more time in journalism classes then they did in math+science combined, so that could be the case. Usually the "shadow meteorologists," those who do not want a tag for whatever reason, are reserved and do not post in a pompous manner highlighting the qualification. These may not be valid reasons in your book, but they are also not ones that defy a little bit of logic in mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjames1992 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Hi-Res NAM lays down 24 inches in NYC by 36 hours. Wow. The regular NAM lays down 3.48" of QPF in total at JFK. I presume that there might be a little mixing early on (there is a slight warm nose at 900 mb early on, it appears), but I'd say 95%+ of that is snow and maybe all of it. http://68.226.77.253/text/NAM80km/NAM_KJFK.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Pack is playing amazing tonight. Duke is shooting 93% from the field and has hit 15 threes. We left the defense in Raleigh, apparently. Duke is just shooting out of their minds right now. Cook and Curry were automatic in the first half. Curry's shot off the rim at the buzzer would have given them 61 points in the first half alone. Most Big 10 teams don't even score 61 points in an entire game... Oh, and with Indiana losing tonight and Kansas getting blown out last night, Duke should be creeping back up toward that top spot.

Good for them and well done. Maybe one day, we'll find some D. It's really filling in though as the storm starts to develop off the Ga./SC coast. I hope so.

I have my first annual eval at work tomorrow, plus meetings in the afternoon, just siting here at the moment thinking of ways I could get out of them and be in the car heading north, not going to happen, this is going to be painful to watch from a far. It has been over 2 years since I've seen a good 24" snow storm with boardline blizzard conditions and the drought is reeking havoc with my psyche!

Even though it's not the same as IMBY it would be fun to experience a big snowstorm w/ other weather enthusiast. I have said many times 6" imby is better than 18-24 in theirs, and while that remains true to some extent I have come to the realization it does not happen here with a frequency that satisfies my desire to get crushed. I have to travel for descent event, just a fact living in Eastern NC. Prefer long duration events, 30+ hours before the transition to needles and grains, 24" over that period is the most I have seen. Growing up in FL, I did not see snow until I was 10' even then it was advisory level stuff hunting in WV during late Nov. First real taste came after I went on my honeymoon in the adarandacks , circa 2002. I can't chase this season because of the new job unless something were to materlize rather close during the weekend, but even then, I would like a solid prob of seeing a foot. I am starting to grease the upper management skids regarding this hobby, and next season will hopefully be able to leave on short notice should we have another event like this.

Good for them and well done. Maybe one day, we'll find some D. Richard Howell is such a good player. I really enjoy watching him play. If he can hit that foul-line-extended jumper with regularity he will be even better. Too bad he picked up his 4th foul with 9 minutes to go.

ONSET OF PRECIP STILL LOOKS TO BE BETWEEN 4AM AND 8AM FRI. 00Z NAM LOW TRACK IS VERY CLOSE TO THE 12Z RUN...WITH JUST A SLIGHT SHIFT SOUTHWARD BY 12Z SAT. THE INTERESTING PART OF THIS RUN IS THAT THE AXIS OF HEAVIEST QPF HAS SHIFTED FURTHER TO THE WEST AND NOW RESIDES OVER NYC...NJ AND INTO THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY. WILL LET MID SHIFT DIGEST REMAINING 00Z DATA BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES TO THE SNOW TOTAL FORECAST CONSIDERING THAT 24 HOURS AGO...THE NAM DIDN`T EVEN KNOW THERE WAS A STORM COMING.

If he can hit that foul-line-extended jumper with regularity he will be even better. Too bad he picked up his 4th foul with 9 minutes to go. He's the only player on this team that has developed that consistent mid-ranger jumper. Nobody else can hit that. Truly a lost art. He's playing with a lot of heart this year.
