shaggy Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 38 minutes ago, Brick Tamland said: I don't remember that one. I think the Jan 2000 storm did us good for the year. It was forecast to be 6 to 12 in raleigh but a wave the day before shoved the baroclinic zone further offshore and moved the low development further east. TWC had crews in rdu and Winston Salem and they got zipped. Sun was out at WS and east of 95 got thumped. Great write up on how and why it busted on rah past events page.

WeatherNC Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Kind of concerned that the 15z SREF mean for RWI is 1" with only a couple NMBs biting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a bust of my lifetime right there. December 2000 was awesome.... in Roanoke rapids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Is this really likely? Meteostar (18z 1/4/17) is showing a high of 8° on Monday and a low of 3° for KJNX (Johnston County(NC) Airport). Is the airmass realy going to be that cold with the expected snowpack? http://wxweb.meteostar.com/sample/sample.shtml?text=KJNX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, sure, it just seems unlikely to me we see widespread negative single digits or highs in the single digits like I've seen on some model output.

Gonna leave Greenville Friday around noon and stay at a hotel right beside the airport so I'm right there Sat morning. How the de-icing equipment? Any chance I get out of Atl Saturday?

The NW trend always happens. Without fail. Don't let your guard down! And keep an eye on that high to the north. Don't let it out of site; it will sneak away if you let it.

I believe that's wind chill warning criteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives me just a little more room than RDU. But sometimes I wish I lived in Hillsborough or somewhere in northern Orange County so I'd do even better.
