RGEM really mixes a lot of folks, hopefully it's to warm, but people say it's been really good this winter.

RGEM has almost 2" of QPF into RDU just crazy...

Since I stink at interpreting these maps I need some help. It appears that RDU does get a fair amount of rain, correct? I took weather and climate at Carolina because I find weather so fascinating but it was the lowest grade I ever received there. Pathetic.

You should have played basketball.  You could have been running the storm prediction center by now.

Roughly on the RGEM it's 2-3" of snow, 0.5" of sleet, 0.5" of frzn and 0.5" of rain.  It's a lot of rain at the end, which would be a bummer, although better than crippling ice storm.

Man, wyff Chris Justus all in!!!!! Said 4-8 inches along and N of 85, with .25 ice! He said no ice and we would be over a foot!! Holy crap! They never talk like that! :)

Mackerel,

When did he say it was to start in the G'ville area? Are we talking overnote tonight, or more of a morning deal?

Just saw that and saw the skycam showing snow coverage. Also Anderson is covered. You can't even tell it has snowed here, no accums at all!

Who taught your section? I took meteorology courses there too.

They do, although a fair bit of it is sleet and ZR too. You can look through all the ptype maps here.

He is the best resource we have since Andy left (regarding station mets).

Strongly agree! You can tell he's really into weather and doesn't just read NWS forecast!

I'm not on Facebook , so if you get a chance can you post his thoughts on this storm if its different from yesterday? Tia

From facepage....

US National Weather Service Raleigh, NC we are aware of the differences and will most likely be upping our snow total forecast for the triad but we probably will still be below the 10-14 shown here. Stay tuned to the forecast today for updated numbers.

Nice, and yeah I think everyone agrees 10-14 is ridiculous.  At this point I'd be thrilled with 6-8.
