cigrgd Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 http://www.weather.gov/images/gsp/brief/STSStormTotalSnow.png GSP keeps inching up the totals. The place to be on this one is going to be at a high elevation right at the edge of the escarpment -- places like Highlands, NC and Caesar's Head, SC. A foot of snow should be no problem there.

strongwxnc Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 major increase over night. http://www.weather.gov/images/gsp/brief/STSStormTotalSnow.png And Rutherford county is cut in half. The set up now could have 10"+ to the west and 4" to the east in the county with ip/fr. Always the battle zone in this setup. Need the SLP is be offshore a hair.

Brick Tamland Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 For RDU folks, not sure what I think about the latest runs. Looks like both the NAM and GFS setup the significant wintery precip line around the US 1 corridor. Snow fall maps for both models have 6+ inches from about US 1 westward with a very sharp drop off to the east. 850s would scream that a lot of this was ice, so I would halve this to about 3" (of snow, sleet, freezing rain) from US1 to actually 6+ near the Triad.Just what I see in the models. I will say we are on the line. We do not want this thing to go anymore westward. In fact even a weaker storm is good.EDIT:NAM:http://www.twisterdata.com/data/models/nam/221/maps/2014/02/10/06/NAM_221_2014021006_F81_SNOWIN_SURFACE.pngGFShttp://www.twisterdata.com/data/models/gfs/3/maps/2014/02/10/06/GFS_3_2014021006_F78_SNOWIN_SURFACE.png I bet the line will be a little farther east to 64 or between 64 and 95.

Isopycnic Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I bet the line will be a little farther east to 64 or between 64 and 95. My guess is the piedmont fall line from Asheboro, Chapel hill to henderson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wake4est Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I bet the line will be a little farther east to 64 or between 64 and 95. You hope. It's not looking good for RDU at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkman Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 You hope. It's not looking good for RDU at the moment. Its not looking good for GSO at the moment.

FallsLake Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 My guess is the piedmont fall line from Asheboro, Chapel hill to henderson You may be right. There will be a sharp cut off somewhere and it is really going to depend on how amped up this low gets(..inland). I see two (extreme) possibilities for our area. One the 1996 storm that gave our area 6+ inches of sleet(and a litle snow) to the 1993 super storm that hammered areas to the west but gave us only about 2". I guess you can also throw the 2002 ice storm in there as a possiblity. Definitly looking forward to the 12z models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtomlinwx Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Current thinking: Raleigh: Tough call, but as of now looks like a quick onset of snow transitioning to sleet and then freezing rain. May end as some snow or cold rain Thursday. 1-4" of snow, .5-1.5" sleet, .25-.5" of freezing rain. Power outages possible.Statesville: Mainly snow with a bit of sleet possibly mixing in at times. 4-8" of snow. Charlotte: Starts as snow, transitioning to a wintry mix and mainly freezing rain for awhile. Possibly kicks back over to snow before ending. 2-4" of snow, .1-.25" of freezing rain. Power outages not out of the question.Greenville: Mainly rain, could end as some snow. Dusting of snow at best.New Bern: Rain. 2-3" or so of it, too.Boone: All Snow. 4-8" of snow.Lenoir: Mostly Snow. Sleet may mix in at times. 4-8" of snowHickory: Mostly Snow. Sleet may mix in at times. 4-8" of snowGreensboro: Snow to begin, Wintry mix follows.

In means of getting hammered by snow or getting no snow? I think Greensboro looks good in terms of wintery weather. The big question is how much mixing of sleet and freezing rain Greensboro gets. RDU right now looks like an ice storm, but this could go to just plain rain as well if the low gets to close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 i think i might go to hickory if this looks like they could get a foot of snow while raleigh get's sleet. screw that mess. i can work from home on my laptop lol. I like your thinking, sir! If you're planning to come back this way, things are looking good. I mean, all the models spell out awesome snow totals for us, but I'm trying to temper expectations still 2+ days away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This goes anymore west, which I expect, it could be more rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Lol @ how many areas change to rain at the end of the storm on the GFS and Euro and NAM. Usually the opposite happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 It's funny, the local mets being ultra conservative, as usual! NWS discussion/ watch statement has us in the 4-6 range and I know they have access to everything we do, and probably more!! They wouldn't say 6 inches to save their lives! I think 6+ is easily achievable if we can keep the sleet at bay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackerel_sky Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 A real question ? The precip shield looks to barely get to the NC mountains, so I am curious as to how people are coming up with foot totals there? I think in my neck of the woods, we will be on the N edge of heavy precip, so I think somewhere between greenwood and Caesars head will be the bullseye if too much sleet does not mix in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two weeks ago where was the NW trend? We got the patented screw RDU SE trend inside 24 hours, I have no doubt this ticks a hair more amped/NW the next 24-36 hours. But the sleet was never exciting for me and frzn even less, so for me personally some front end snow to sleet to rain wouldn't be bad. Maybe getting dry slotted would help scale back on torrential rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
