superjames1992 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I have a feeling this might be a rough week for us in the triad. This is going to be bad. We rock at ice storms lately. We sucked for so many years, basically blanking 2006-2013, but we rocked them last March and now we may do it again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCSNOW Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Agree. We better wave american flag and hope the gfs and nam verefying and not the euro/ ukie. After 12z, if this looks the way it does tonight I'll have to start prepping and getting gas, dragging out generator testing , all that crap.

We've got a generator here, but it's not hooked up to the heater. We have a couple electric space heaters, though, and we might need them as cold as it looks after the storm...

magpiemaniac Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 we don't have a generator so I might have to go out and buy one tomorrow or Monday. This is just going awful Make sure that whatever generator you buy has a good quality internal inverter. Otherwise, you run the risk of burning out your more sensitive equipment.

wncsnow Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I guess the models got to sample the upper air data better today which led to the changes but I think the shortwave doesn't enter the network until tomorrow so maybe it will change again!

The wave hasn't been sampled yet, the confluence will be greater than it's looking know! Either way, congrats NC , I will enjoy my 10 flakes of snow, followed by rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpiemaniac Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 The 06z NAM will save us. By the way, James, your insight and model PBP is an asset to this board. If they had to pay you for what you add around here, they couldn't afford you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxBlue Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Haha! I used to love that particular PiR game as a child. And it fits perfectly. All I've read for a couple of days is: "This is a lock!" "I'm cashing in!" "The shutout is over!" "Take it to the bank!" blah, blah, blah I doubt I put trust in anything other than a NWS forecast ever again. NWS had 5-10 inches for Winter Storm Watch counties in WNC earlier today.

magpiemaniac Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 NWS had 5-10 inches for Winter Storm Watch counties in WNC earlier today. RAH seemed more conservative with their forecast for GSO. Should be interesting to see how that changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklecity Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 28.4°/9° Wind has been picking up again. There were a bunch of emergency calls in the western upstate earlier. Trees down on roads and houses, structural fires started from power lines, etc. Edit: 12 minutes later and it's down to 27.7°/8°. Dropping like a rock now.

btownheel Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 And again, with this type of power and cold behind the front push (especially if the American guidance verified and it comes in earlier) I think the Euro and UK solution is out to lunch. LP's around here don't just slam right up into this level of CAD signature....doesn't make any kind of logical sense. Coastal runner....I'm feeling it, and CR and pack are gonna be seeing some white and a ton of pingers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 So far the NAM has the LP in the NE south from 00z and the HP is a tick stronger and further south at 15z. Let's see if that makes any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I'm going to say now, I'm going to disappear for a long while after this model bs. (of course some wouldn't mind me doing so) I just find it stupid and a waste of time to sit on every model run from here on out and refresh these forum pages hoping a "magical expert" can give me the "magical key" to feel better about the bad situation on the models. The problem with this storm was that KCAE was always on the line. I personally didn't want the ice storm. I was hoping for sleet & snow like what happened IMBY last year around this time. Anyways, I'll be lurking.... but the ease of the models to basically crap on this parade so soon is dumb. I was out today and saw many people talking how ice was coming etc. Too bad they will be the ones that say "those guys were wrong again". At least this way. Melt down commenced. Melt down lasting for the rest of the season! I might log into Twitter occasionally. It's in my signature. Love you guys <3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Crap... NAM didn't get any better. EDIT: Spoke too soon, maybe? Looks like it basically held with its 00z run, more or less. Damn nice run here. Mostly/all snow. Probably 5" worth. NAM'd. --- Hope you come around for OBS with this storm, Shawn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Well, if were going to get ice I want it to go all out and sound like a war zone outside. I have my 4 season sleeping bag, gas stove, and a wood burning fireplace to keep warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
