tarheelwx Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 If you take the low end of the snowfall forecast for Mount Rainer between today and Sunday, you come up with 91" of snow (126" if you take the high end). That is more than the 10 year average for the Triad. Here's a link you can save to your favorites when you get bored with the southeast weather. http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=46.8537039&lon=-121.7589496&site=all&smap=1&searchresult=Mount%20Rainier%2C%20Mount%20Rainier%20National%20Park%2C%20Washington%2098304%2C%20USA#.VmCnGJ0o4_w TW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlatLander48 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 All I knows is, I wanna live in a place where a storm like that is considered only for a winter weather advisory... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookout Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I often follow the forecasts for mt rainer and that is actually a pretty common forecast amount. Now however, it is unusually high..potentially 220 inches between now and tuesday night with more after that. As you can see on wpcs map..you can see why...20+ liquid amounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
