Cold Rain Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I drink beer. Brick, I would totally like to see you get hammered and go on one of your famous "no snow for me" rants. That would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stovepipe Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Raleigh gets about the same amount of snow as Knoxville and a little more than Nashville on average, IIRC. I'm not sure what is surprising. The good thing about averages is that they eventually catch up, so you'll get your fill eventually. Remember you had two very major snowstorms in three years back in the early 2000s (I'm specifically referring to January 2000 and January 2002). Pretty sure Knoxville averages 12 inches, but I can't be arsed to look it up right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NGTim Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 i like the look of this. solid cold before and after the rain event. Seems thats always where funny stuff happens. One thing I'm thinking of is the combination of a bunch of leaves clogging up small culverts, and then getting several of inches of rain followed by freezing temps right on its heel. Seems like Wed travel problems could be worse than normal because of those factors. wish there was youtube back when the policeman taking a young Brick home from school after his bus crashed incident took place. I would share that story with my children's children and speak of it often at family get togethers. speaking of weather, my temp has finally started dropping. it tried to get 40 but never did, now its dropping slowly and currently at 39 here in NE GA. I hope the clouds have served their purpose to keep the initial temps down so we don't have as far to fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Pretty sure Knoxville averages 12 inches, but I can't be arsed to look it up right now. Knoxville is in kind of a snow hole. It averages 6.5" of snow per annum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnweathernut Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Knoxville is in kind of a snow hole. It averages 6.5" of snow per annum. I'm just glad I have a wife that gets 6.5 and 12 inches mixed up all the time too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshM Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I noticed on the GSP ice map that my little zone (border of Cleveland and Gaston counties) has little bubble of accumulation. This little area is in a dip, about 25-50ft lower than the average terrain, always seems to be colder than the surrounding areas at night too.

jburns Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I'm just glad I have a wife that gets 6.5 and 12 inches mixed up all the time too. After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's License to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later. The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'. So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application. When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office. She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability too.' And then the fight started... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also of interest is the 56.7 inches during the 1959-1960 season, amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxictwister00 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Lol what is that model TWC showed? Gonna piss off a lot of people if all that back end snow it shows doesn't happen. Even gives Atlanta some snow. GFS, NAM, CMC... I won't speak for the ECMWF since I didn't see what it showed this afternoon. I doubt it'll piss anyone off since were not talking about a band dumping a swift 6 inches of snow or something. At best it's just going to be some wrap around snow showers (at least here).
