Huffwx Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 81 from Lexington north gets hamered. Assuming those 8-10 inches of snow are wrong-- WOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTRWx Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I'm only out to hour 75, but the 0Z GFS and NAM look very similar up to that point for surface conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Is anyone really that surprised at this stage? May be wrong with an earlier post about the best case already being modeled. Such a fun track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDweatherman Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 This is honestly what I was expecting. I love this set up, so I'm not super surprised, but we can all rejoice and hope it holds or gets even colder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huffwx Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Not that we have a BIG SW VA audience, it seems like we get an initial burst that could be snow and sleet and once the h85 0c line moves north, we turn more into light freezing rain. For hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For hours. I was seeing that. Both the Euro and GFS are advertising a dry slot between CHO and ROA for the duration of the event. We still get over 0.6" frozen, but it's not the 1" that the I 81 guys are getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to get a sleeting am and get the kids on a little sled ride or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 most of the non rain precip is from the sunday/monday storm. well all of it in the DC/MD/VA area. the map may suck but i think it's new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Wow. The GFS is a massive ice storm out here after 4-5 inches of snow. Basically precip of some kind through Tuesday. Just Brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else seems reasonable though. If they get better maps like that i may actually cough up the cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
