I may have lost RDU and GSO, but I still have been right for much of the south piedmont and foothills of NC and almost all of SC and GA outside of the mountains. And the GFS turns the area too warm for winter precip after Next Thursday.

 

Your call is bollocks without reasoning. And you have yet to provide any.

 

***EDIT***

 

Yeah, those progged warm ups have really been working out. #sarcasmfont

That is a copyrighted image, as are all WxBell maps, FYI.  If it gets out into the public domain via FB or Tweeter, fine, link it, but the EC graphics from WxBell are off limits, no need for a JB vs American type deal.  May I suggest wunderground, check out the precip, temps, and do the math.

Since this got brought up in the main storm thread I'm gonna go ahead and ask. Will all posts with WxBell images, no matter what it is, be deleted? I used to not post them knowing they are behind a paywall, but seeing as Ian and others in the MA forum post them I thought it was no big deal. Can anyone clear this up?

GFS, cocaine is a hell of a drug.

 

LOL.  I will say this, if this was a potential event for the MA or NE and I was looking at this without any emotional ties and the following models showed a good size event (GGEM, GGEM ENS, UK, Euro ENS, JMA, NAVGEM) and the Op Euro was just about 50 miles away from a big event I would be thinking lock it up for them, this storm will trend stronger/deeper.  But it's hard to think that when your on the inside.

I will address this since I brought it up in the disco thread.  The general consensus from staff based on conversations with a few at WxBell seems to be that any "value added" maps may be ok such as those being derived from raw data.  Those maps that are themselves raw data, such as H5 are off limits.  I for one am not an expert interpreting how one graphic is derived, and my guess is most on here are not either.  It has been noted, that repeat offenders should be identified, this was not by staff, rather the team at WxBell.  I suggest if you want to see the EC maps shell at the 20 per month, for those more cost conscious, shell out the 10 for the model center (which is currently discounted btw) and use wunderground to supplement.  As I stated in the disco thread, if an EC map gets out into the public domain via other media, feel free to link, but determining whether you are directly posting derived vs raw data seems like a crap-shoot one should not take.

This is exactly how I'm feeling.

I'm more in the camp of hoping it trends inland, but thinking it's out to sea or an east of I-95 only event.

Agree, I am rooting for the coast and all to get snow but if Hatteras gets another accumulating snowfall before we do that will be tough to take, it's been over 3 years for RDU.  I am so bitter and jaded, I will probably get 5 posted or banned if this system falls apart.

The 3 years and seeing storms like this show up on the models only to shift north, south, east, west and miss RDU has been tough.  If we miss this storm, I'm probably going to take a little break.

 

**EDIT**  Who am I kidding...I'll be looking at the models the next day... :fever:

I am feeling the same way. I really liked our shot at getting a good snow here yesterday, but today just doesn't feels as confident. If we don't get anything from this while the coast gets a big storm, I am going to be so ready for the weather to turn warm and sunny and just stay that way. Just tired of getting good potential and nothing to show for it. Losing is still losing, and I am sick of losing.

It's just preparing you for the day that you step up and play me in some ball.

Counting this year we will be 7 out of 10 years under 2", we have never had that type of stretch, ever, in 130 years, even in the crappy 90's.  We should (I hope) get back to where we get 8 out of 10 years with over 2", where we get 3 to 4 10" seasonal snowfalls every 10 years, and then we will look back and recall how bad this stretch has been for us.  I think we are the only area (RDU) that hasn't had a 1" snowfall since the boxing day snowstorm, over 3 years, in fact I know we are.  That's why part of me will kind of sit back and laugh if we continue the snow drought this season.

It does seem ever since 2000 we have been either feast or famine. It would be nice to have three decent storms each winter, like 2 or 3 inches each. But now it seems like if we don't get one big storm to meet our average then we don't get anything. Everything has been to the east and west of us lately.
