Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The GFS is really the only model that isnt showing half a foot there so my guess would be 6-8 inches and possibly a lot more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and lower those stinkin snow shields! It's killing me you're not in to this threat. Raleigh seems to be sitting pretty I'm surprised you're not more excited... If I added up all the 60 hr snow I've gotten here and compared it to 0 hr snow, you'd understand! The snow has to defeat the snow shields. Nothing I can do about it, unfortunately.

For western Triangle peeps, tomorrow (Thu) looks to be the last night it's playing at the Silverspot. Going for an encore. I posted about it in Banter the other day. It was good stuff. Both times I saw it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastern nc has been a better spot over the last few years than wnc. Might be time to get a house on the beach . Ain't that the truth. Still plenty of time for the NW shift. Never give up on that.

The snow has to defeat the snow shields. Nothing I can do about it, unfortunately. Tell me about it...how often has the most extreme modeled snow worked for us at this range...NEVER. Especially the Euro, it's the worst at fantasy snow. We always say if we had hugged the warmest/least snowy model we would have had our answer. We never learn...I am hoping 1-3" across the triangle but that takes a NW shift of the GFS. Not that confident of that just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Snow map looks somewhat similar to this storm back in 02.. Setup is a little different but there are some similarities http://www4.ncsu.edu/~nwsfo/storage/cases/20020102/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillT Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 posting accumulation maps at this time is simply silly, this is like trying to predict to within tenths of an inch how much rain a certain area will get in a coming summer storm 2 days in advance.....CANT be done.

Coming back from Chapel Hill to Raleigh on US 40, there were signs out warning of slow-moving trucks putting salt down on the roads. This is a sure sign that we will likely have <1.0" of snow accumulation. Brine, they are brining all the roads in the triangle today. They did this when I lived in Northern VA too for the tiniest snowfall they would brine everything Nice thing is when it drives it looks like a dusting of snowfall so you can use your imagination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherheels Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Damn, DC will find a way to get a foot out of this storm. I know that for a fact, and I take solace in that. End up being a rain/snow mix for most of everyone east or south of i85, and a little snow north and west of there, and then nova and DC get crushed. Book it. Reverse psychology here folks... It doesn't usually work, but when it does, I feel good about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
