Wow Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 If the GGEM worked out for NC and the northern Upstate like its showing, it would be the worst snowstorm here in a very long time for several reasons. One is the cold ground, extremely cold now. Two, the arctic blast coming in would cement everything and it would look like the Dakotas for a week or so.Winds, extreme wind chills and some subzero temps most likely in the piedmont. Unreal possibilty. I'm actually pulling for that extreme even though its probably overdone and would mess up next week's plans and really I'm already tired of the cold weather. Wouldn't mind an 89/90 if this came true... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoothillsNC Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Wouldn't mind an 89/90 if this came true... me either . If we can get lucky and land a 6" snowfall, I'll be ecstatic over this winter and couldn't care less about going into January in shorts. I was actually expecting the other shoe to drop by then, but it looks delayed. Esp. if the historic cold shot the GFS has coming , really happens. I thnk we lose the blocking but get a strong PNA that dumps the mother lode of arctic air on us. But at some point, this will end and we'll be way above normal.

FoothillsNC Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Hopefully we can call that time period "March". It would probably be in January, but that may not last either. The NAO will probably re-assert itself after a break. I always liked the Dec and Mar as the cold months, with Jan and Feb above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLI4SCwx Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Looks like for us folks here in the Midlands of SC it's another on the edge kinda scenario. One for which we are far too accustomed too. The 12z GGEM looked great but the 0z, from my untrained eyes look like it leave us with mainly a cold rain. What happened, did the SLP shift more north than previously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 the Euro has begun. Best wishes to everyone searching for a snowfall. Its 96 hours til start time for Tennessee and Kentucky I think, and 120 or less for many others, so this is the Euro's best time period. We'll see if she delivers.

I'm still on a hunt for my foot. My hunt began in 1988 and won't stop until I find it! I was so close last year. I even had GSP forecast 12-16" during the Jan 30 storm but the sleet found me.

Robert, what are your thoughts on the central portions of SC and NC based on the model runs so far? I know the 12Z GGEM looked pretty good for us, or so I assumed.
