mackerel_sky Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 You know I don't care how we get there, I just want to get there.Exactly! This morning I was looking at clouds only, so anything is gravy to me! I don't care what low interacts with what low , as long as it gets me snow!

magpiemaniac Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I'm really worried about the sharp precip cutoff somewhere along I-85. I could end up with a few token flakes while someone a few miles to the southeast ends up with four to six inches of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bevo Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 But, Bevo, do we really ever relax in this game we play? You've gotta see the snow falling outside your window, with heavy DBZ returns on radar, before you can even begin to breathe a sigh of relief in the SE. Ha! Yeah - but this is getting more concise and the solutions are becoming clearer that inland snow should be further west. Those of us nw of I-85 will likely continue to watch the news to see it snowing. Oh well. We can't win'em all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookingnorth Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I suppose I should have been more specific. First, I'm actually going to be in Chapel Hill. Second, how great is great? Also, when is the next Euro model coming out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be one of the rare occasions where travelers rest and up that way get flurries or zilch, and Laurens gets 6." , lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bevo Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 This could be one of the rare occasions where travelers rest and up that way get flurries or zilch, and Laurens gets 6." , lol I think that's exactly how this goes down actually. Maybe from Union and onward SE from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherfide Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 At least we won't have to stay up very late for the Canadian and Euro as much of what we want to see is under 60 hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshetley Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I think that's exactly how this goes down actually. Maybe from Union and onward SE from there.This looks a lot like the Jan 2000 cutoff now where I was JUST on the inside of the precip getting nearly a foot of snow while I-85 was left with flurries. Looks like now I could be on either side of the cutoff this time. Hopefully we ay least get this to trend back at least 25-50 miles back NW.

mackerel_sky Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I think that's exactly how this goes down actually. Maybe from Union and onward SE from there.It's a very rare occasion when you want to be South of I 85 for better snow, but... I'm about 4 or 5 miles S or there abouts.

TropicalAnalystwx13 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 After all that time being in the bullseye, the model trend gives us a warm nose at 850mb that takes away our foot of snow and gives over an inch of ice. Sigh... Really hoping 850mb temps come in colder tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NGA WINTER Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Is it okay to believe that in cumming ga and north of ATL will see 1-3? That's my current thinking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - I still think it may tick a notch closer inland, but I would not look for anything significant from SPTBG & GVL counties west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North of 85 got flurries while Greenwood to Union got 6 inches+ and farther down got a foot. This actually happens quite a bit. Feb 04 was also a huge cutoff - west of GSP w/ nothing to very little, vs East of GSP with 1 to 2 feet! I am a few miles North of 85 so with this run I would be around an inch or a little more. Maybe it will move back NW just 20-30 miles?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gritsnc Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hmm. I was hoping wxii would have mentioned a possibility of snow but they are still keeping us dry. I'm anxious to see what all happens tomorrow. Going to bed with pj's on backwards, cotton balls between the toes, and flushing ice down the toilet.

Lookout Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 At least we won't have to stay up very late for the Canadian and Euro as much of what we want to see is under 60 hrs. lol that is actually one of the best parts of having a winter system getting close. It sucks having to wait for what seems like forever for the gfs or whatever to get do days 4, 5, or 6. Another thing, these storms wear me out. I don't know about everyone else but I end up spending hours and hours looking at it every day (including here), ignore everything else and getting nothing done, and it gets painful after awhile...literally. So usually when one of these storms gets here and goes, I'm usually relieved because I can finally get some rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLweather Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Yikes, I'm right on the line per this run. Still probably 6" of snow, but it's so close to glory or failure. I was afraid 18z might have been too good to be true for my area. In order for your area and frosty's area and probably mine too we need 18z solution. Yeah the amounts say one thing but rh speaks another. If 0z is close then we on the verge of getting f***** by downslope. 700 rh looks good but look at 850 rh evidence of d/s and deepest moisture is east. Even though this run would still be potential light snow the cut off line might be so close we can see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
