Well atleast is cold. When a storm does pop up it will be cold enough for something to stick.

Positive aspect is I think the models might be unsure about the front swinging through 1/25 since that engery is over the ocean south of Alaska atm-may trend wetter.

Another positive thing Euro shows a coastal forming 120 hours out and has DGEX for support.

HAHAHA! Awesome.

I wish we would get a 3-5 day arctic outbreak -- enough to freeze the ground. On the 4th or 5th day, I wish the Sun would set with clear skies. Sometime in the wee hours of the morning, I wish the clouds from an impending snowstorm would roll in, allowing for really good radiational cooling beforehand. Then, just after dawn, I wish the snow would begin to fall, steadily increasing in intensity throughout the day. After snowing heavily throughout the afternoon hours, it would be fine to diminish to a moderate intensity, where it would remain, overnight. The following morning would feature moderate snow, tapering to light snow and then flurries by the late afternoon. Then, overnight, the flurries would continue until daybreak, and then depart, leaving a completely cloudy day in their wake. Following the storm would be another multi-day stretch of cold weather with occasional cloud cover and very little melting. I wish it would happen that way and that we knew several days beforehand that it was coming.

 

Move to Winnipeg. <_<   :D

Well if the DGEX has it... I'm going to go buy a shovel and snow blower now! :sled::snowing::weenie:

 

 

IKR  :lol:

I have had more snow in one season than you have all had in your lives.

Winter of 2007-08 FTW.

 

Don't feel too cocky because you spent a couple years in that rat infest hole called Chicago. :rolleyes:

Now that's what I call a wish cast that most of us hope turn into a forecast.

BTW, Greetings all. I am new here.

Looking for snow in Atl.

New York rats are worst... they eat Raid for breakfast

:lmao:

I think thats every big city really. I remember coming through east Durham one time seen one by the train tracks in broad daylight. It was a big one too and I had to do a double glance to make sure my eyes weren't lying. But there at first I thought it was a chihuahua.

Do I really have to look it up :P I lived in Ohio for almost 25 years and have family there that I still visit decades later :P This winter I haven't visited and I sure am regretting that decision :lol:

Haha. You most likely have been in more blizzards. I have been in only one true blizzard. Cantore was in Chicago at the time and I remember watching TWC and he got frostbite on his nose and didn't even know it till he watched his video. We only picked up 0.5 that night but the visibility was 0 with so much blowing and drifting snow and winds over 40mph.

I'm glad GSP put out a special weather statement on the cold, not being as hyped up by local tv as the last one, but still just as dangerous IMO. Ready for those balmy wind chills IMBY

 

  • Thursday Night Mostly clear, with a low around 10. North wind 6 to 13 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph.
  • Friday Sunny, with a high near 29. Wind chill values as low as zero. Northwest wind 5 to 9 mph becoming southwest in the afternoon.

you forgot...

 

After the big snow it warms to about 30 degrees that night with a warm nose above. Freezing rain begins to fall and coats the snow and everything else with a 1/2" glaze. Temps plummet before day break and the damage is done.

 

At least that's what happened here...

Good write-up, Steve! A glaze on top of the snow would be a nice touch.

  

Move to Winnipeg. <_<   :D

  

I may have to take a winter vacation up north at some point. Gotta make a little more dough first, though. :)

Don't worry, Michelle. We'll shoehorn in one this year. I will be very surprised if we completely waste this abundance do cold air.

My temperature is having a shi* fit... went from 23 to 27 over the past 40 minutes

 

The clouds are really creating a difference in temperatures across the state.  My temp is right around 28.  So is the temp for most stations in the NW part of NC outside of the mountains.  East of Greensboro, the temps really start to plummet, with teens quite common.
