You guys are too young to remember, but before they built I85 the snow didn't know where to stop and we all got slammed.

:lol: 

 

 

CAE upped the total from 1-2" to 2-4"   :D  

 

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...

THE MODELS ARE IN BETTER AGREEMENT FOR WINTER WEATHER DEVELOPING

TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. GIVEN HIGHER CONFIDENCE...HAVE INCREASED

SNOW/ICE ACCUMULATIONS SLIGHTLY FOR LATE TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY.

A BROAD UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH IN THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN CONUS IS

FORECAST TO AMPLIFY LATE TUESDAY. SEVERAL WEAK SHORT WAVES

ROTATING THROUGH BASE OF TROUGH WILL TRIGGER THE DEVELOPMENT OF

LOW PRESSURE OFF THE SOUTH CAROLINA COAST IN A BROAD AREA OF

UPPER-LEVEL FORCING.

HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR COLD AIR TO SUPPORT WINTRY PRECIPITATION.

MODELS ARE IN BETTER AGREEMENT WITH SIGNIFICANT MOISTURE ARRIVING

TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND CONTINUING OVERNIGHT INTO THE FIRST PART OF

WEDNESDAY. A COMPARISON OF THE FEBRUARY 2010 EVENT...SHOWS SOIL

TEMPERATURES CURRENTLY AVERAGING 2 TO 5 DEGREES COLDER THAN

2010. EVEN WITH THE WARM DAY TOMORROW..ONLY EXPECT A SLIGHT

CHANGE IN SOIL TEMPERATURES. DO NOT BELIEVE SOIL TEMPERATURES

WILL BE MUCH OF A FACTOR AS THE SLEET/SNOW BEGINS TO FALL. THE

PRECIPITATION FOR THIS EVENT STILL APPEARS TO BE MAINLY SNOW OR

SLEET WEST...AND SNOW...SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN EAST. DEEPER COLD

AIR FARTHER WEST SUPPORTS MIXED PRECIP CHANGING TO ALL SNOW

TUESDAY EVENING/NIGHT. A BRIEF LOOK AT THE 00Z NAM INDICATES SOME

CONSISTENCY BETWEEN RUNS AND A SLIGHT INCREASE IN QPF.

THEREFORE...HAVE DECIDED TO BUMP UP THE RANGE SLIGHTLY FOR

ACCUMULATIONS. ALL OF THE MODELS INDICATE A WINTRY MIX WITH

SNOW/SLEET AMOUNTS BETWEEN 2 AND 4 INCHES...WITH ICE ACCUMULATIONS

NEAR ONE-QUARTER. THE BEST CHANCE FOR A SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATION

OF SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN WILL BE DURING THE BEGINNING OF THE

EVENT LATE TUESDAY MORNING INTO TUESDAY EVENING. THE AREA OF

CONCERN WILL STRETCH EAST OF A LINE FROM WAYNESBORO IN BURKE

COUNTY GEORGIA NORTHEAST THROUGH BARNWELL...ORANGEBURG...SANTEE

AND MANNING.

:lol: Good one, old man

 

Thanks. :)  It is funny though when someone, four days before an event, starts complaining because he lives 2 miles south of 85 and the forecast says north of 85.  It's like some mystical barrier in some peoples mind.  Same with I40, I77 and in Central NC US-64.

When are people going to start second guessing why the NWS hasnt put them under a Winter Storm Watch?  I always loved it when people get upset because they are not under a watch or warning.

 

My Tuesday night forecast changed from "mostly cloudy" to "cloudy".  So things are progressing nicely.

Excuse me for asking.

It was just banter.  I haven't been up to date for what's going on down there as I've been following the clippers coming through up here in Ohio where I am currently.  I beleive it is just an area of weak low pressure tracking along the remants of a front but that's a total guess on my part.

Accuweather up their forecast for CAE to 4-8"

The 18z GFS was cruel and unusual punishment. I don't know how to feel about Pensacola being under a Winter Storm Watch and not being under anything here.

It's depressing. Makes me want to go back to the good old pre-internet days of blissful ignorance and not thinking it's going to snow until the man on the evening news starts talking about it.

Other than maybe WidreMann, we needed a Greek chorus yesterday to try to pull us back into reality. It was all too good to be true.
