BullCityWx Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm assuming we still play on Sunday. If we do, the GFS is saying 32 degrees at kickoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice nothing like a 3/4 when there is work to be done.It's gas. There were no diesels to be had when I bought it. I made a fire pit out of a 1200 pound crusher cone. We could only get it to the tailgate when I picked it up from the quarry. It didn't even flex the gate when we loaded it. I was impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullCityWx Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 If you're a panthers fan and you're afraid you'll lose power and miss the game, you have two options. You can download the iheartradio app and listen to the game on WBT. If that doesn't work, TuneIn premium will have the game and I think they are still offering a 7 day free trial.

snowinnc Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 My mood is blah. While I love living in North Raleigh knowing that Wake County is right on the border of a great winter storm or a really cold rain is down right depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oconeexman Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Yes. You, Burel ,upstate CAD and others in that area can speak from experience. All depends not he transfer. However, back end 700 level continues to look good all around.What worries me most is when we are fighting lower levels and we depend on a good cad to erode. We haven't had a strong well placed cad at the right time in years. Add to that the nuclear station and warm waters of that part of lake keowee from discharge seem to strengthen lower level warmth that the models don't account for here and pickens and parts of greenville. Of course cad can do magic and higher rates can over come all. But when Isohume and crew give us mostly rain, ZR and sleet for the bulk followed by back end snow I remain pessimistic. I hope I'm dead wrong and have to eat crow but for me I'm not biting on a big snow...more of a mess than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strongwxnc Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Or listen in the car on 610AM as they are carrying the game. If you are in the local area.

nwupstatewx Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I've always wondered about this man-made lake situation - would be an interesting longitudinal study for someone's PhD to see if the three "new" lakes really do affect the weather in areas surrounding them. Anecdotal from yesterday, but it snowed in Clemson proper for all of 30 minutes before changing over to rain/sleet at 34 degrees. On my drive to Easley, dropped to 32 when I passed 178 and turned back to all snow. Seems also like Clemson area is 1-3 degrees warmer at most times as well on temp maps. What worries me most is when we are fighting lower levels and we depend on a good cad to erode. We haven't had a strong well placed cad at the right time in years.

The only bad thing about the diesels in the snow is the front end is so heavy and it can be hard to stop going down a hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only bad thing about the diesels in the snow is the front end is so heavy and it can be hard to stop going down a hill. The last time we did this chase we has a hairy moment or two with the stopping thing. We were in a ML350 which has an amazing traction system. We were descending a small mountain on Chester's gap near Front Royal. It was about an 8 degree grade in 2ft of unplowed snow and the only way I could stop at times was to hit the snow drifts on the sides of the pass. The F250 might be a bit less cooperative.

mackerel_sky Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Maybe the temps can skyrocket to 50 today and have clouds roll in and keep temps warm, kind of like last Sundays event!? Not a cloud in the sky now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepPounding Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Silly weather channel with their head in the dirt. This is my forecast and I live a few miles from Charlotte....With the possibility for a devastating ice storm, this actually really makes me mad since so many people just look at their forecast.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jshetley Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 If the 12z nam is the start of a trend, the upstate of SC may end up with mostly a heavy rain. The CAD was weaker on it's latest run and another bump of 2-3 degrees warmer would take us out of this storm.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amos83 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm feeling less optimistic but I usually do at this range. Huge bust potential for us on the southern end of this. The dreaded warm nose ever fails to screw some. On a different note this is also my favorite part of the pre-storm, watching it begin to develop and move from model watching to nowcasting. Good luck everyone the next few days, stay safe, warm, and enjoy whatever falls! Rememer, just a few weeks ago we were all in shorts and t-shirts hoping February would be our Valhalla.
