magpiemaniac Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Sort of scares me that RAH's forecast for GSO says... Minimum of 0" Most likely amount of 8" Possibility of 12" This storm must have a huge bust potential. Their minimum graphic show highest amounts southeast, but their most likely and possibility graphics show the highest totals northwest. Seems disjointed.

I appreciate the humanity and personality put into the AFD. You can tell the forecaster actually enjoys her job. In addition, there was nothing "unprofessional" in what she wrote. Her style may not have been your preference (though I can't fathom why you would take issue with someone who apparently shares our entire board's fondness for winter weather), but she broke no unwritten rules.

Nancy Drew Mysteries Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Quick. Someone find a model output to read to me, whisper to me how temps east of ATL will drop as soon as precip starts, that that "column will cool the surface layer (?)" give me some years for reference and post lots of columns of numbers I can't interpret but I know they are wonderful and I will later be basking in the moonlit glow of 4 inches of beautiful white snow! For the love of all that's good and holy, please!!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Great trends yesterday for my area, went from 1-2 to 2-4 now 4-6 or even 6-8 possible. Be interesting to see what type of ratios we get here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to reach near 50 at GSP in my opinion and we will never recover from that. Having to get cold air in during the storm almost never works out. The only time it did is March 2009.

jshetley Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 The new NAM says you need to be north of I-85 in SC to see snow. This is going to turn into a Dec 2009 like event that leaves the GSP and CLT metro areas with only rain, right along with Atlanta and Athens in GA. Also Raleigh NC. Hopefully we get something in Feb for SC and GA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we will probably see a few flakes fly at the end, but not enough to matter really. If we see a couple hrs of slop here it would be a win We need that low crossing central fl, not west of savannah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's the NAM, but I just have a feeling it has the right idea. The cold air is going to have a very hard time crossing the mountains I'm afraid. You are set though if you are in Asheville, Hickory, the Triad in NC and on up into VA. Those areas get 4-8 inches of snow. Basically if you got snow just before Christmas in Dec 2009 you'll get snow tonight. If you got rain then, you'll get rain tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixing will be an issue for most of the storm. I'm still going for only one inch of snow on top of 2 inches of sleet in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not. If the model shows you mixing, you can rest assured that it will be more mixing for longer. It never ever goes the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowinnc Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I wish that Jim Cantore wasn't here. He is the total kiss of death when it comes to winter weather. We will be stuck with all the sleet and cold rain in Wake County. Can someone drive him over to the Triad please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
