Regan Raleigh Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Rant. Fishel's accumulation map is severely lacking. He left the majority of Wake as 1-3in like this mornings map with tiny hint of 3-6 on it. Only he verbally states he wouldn't be shocked to see anyone in Wake bump to 3-6. Well..... Why not make the map show this instead of just saying it? Other media and even the NWS doesn't match his. I'm near Brier Creek and NWS says 3-8.5in for me.

No snow for you Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 The GFS gives my backyard a 99.9% chance of 6+ inches of snow and 60% of 12 inches+. Mack, get ready to change your handle and buy lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I would take my 4-6" snow and 3-4" of sleet on the RGEM and run with it. That would result in about 6" of southern concrete after compaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surface temps going above freezing around Raleigh is a real threat. Also with these setups the changeovers usually occur faster than modeled so it goes snow to sleet faster than they call for usually..you guys really need the front end thump to be stronger and last longer because once that coastal gets going there is a real chance surface temps get to 33-34 around Wake so its best to play it safe. People IMO are under estimating the WAA that a strong low like this is capable of doing and it would be much better if the models had it well offshore instead of right over the beaches.....its gonna be close for RDU.

Regan Raleigh Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Fishel was quick to say up to 6, but his map hasn't budged and the map is bad for everyone. They always have bad maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those maps exclude sleet. I looks like we may get 6 inches of snow and 2 inches of sleet. Where do I sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklecity Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Take the GFS clown map and divide by 10 and it will be much closer to what actually occurs for mby lol. I'm not falling for the clown map traps again this year. I think the northern upstate will be a sleet fest and the southern/western upstate/ne ga will be where the major zn sets up. The weather gods will smite me with sleet once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Johnny C, just showed all the model snowfall for GSP area: GFS : 12-18"( lol) had a lollipop of 18-24" near TR Nam : 4-8" Euro: around 8" RPM: 1-3 Johnny going with the RPM!

Cold Rain Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Fishel is terrible!!!! Fishel explicitly said not to take the map literally and that the entire purpose was to illustrate that the general trend would be for more snow north and wet and less south and east. Small variations in the thermal profile will greatly affect totals. He said it is within the realm of possibility for someone near the airport to get half a foot of snow. He also said that he would update more specifically as the event begins to unfold. And now you have the rest of the story. Fishel is terrible!!!!

raysum Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 If we get several inches of sleet it will really compact the snow here in the Upstate but we will be a giant glacier that will take forever to melt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
