It's already getting slick and you haven't even decided if you're leaving yet. Good call. I have a 2WD Explorer. Snow/skiing isn't worth life and limb. Maybe we'll end up on the right side of things in terms of precip types for once, but I'm not counting on it. Where are you located? Your point/click location is showing in WV.

And I love how the mountain folks have just been sitting back watching us watch all the models knowing the entire time they were going to cash in big time. Honestly I was nervous on this one with it being a late bloomer. We still could be smoking cirrus when all is said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDUBRDU Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 RDU being mostly sleet this storm while being miles from the heaviest snow is going to burn me worse than any storm has before. Probably because up until yesterday, there has been no warm nose projected for Wake County. Sneaky little bastard. I live in North Hills so I'm sure I'll be able to drive a mile NW to see heavy snow totals while my house is pingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this storm wound up more, I wonder if it would crash the 850s sooner? Or should we root for it to be weaker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jshetley Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 We are missing 2 VERY IMPORTANT things now. 1. The cold air is NOT here in place. 2. No CAD this time. If they were here this would be a much bigger deal. Having to depend on cold air crossing the mountains in time is a losing game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jshetley Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 On to Feb for most of us. This one is for the mountains and west. A lot now like early April 1987 when Birmingham AL got 9 inches of snow, while ATL, GSP, and CLT got rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I love how the mountain folks have just been sitting back watching us watch all the models knowing the entire time they were going to cash in big time. Lol this made me laugh! Man I do love living in the mountains. I know it's a touchy subject with most about the NW trend. I had a few try to get into an argument with me yesterday and I just dropped it because I know it stings when things look like crap getting close to lift off. I do hope a lot of people can get a decent / great snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah do not come to the moutains with 2wd. Just too dangerous and everything is going to stick at once here. Current temps are in the mid to low 20s .

weatherheels Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I'm not going to lie, I'm expecting at least 6" now. A couple days ago I would've been delighted if you told me I would get 2-4"... now I can already tell I'm going to be disappointed if this thing doesn't turn into a top 10 storm for my lifetime. I've also never seen a foot snowfall here in Kernersville... I've seen Winston, Greensboro, 20 miles N and 20 miles S all get foot snowfalls.... .I don't think this is going to be the one, but the fact that I've let the thought slip into my mind means this should be a good storm.

sacredgrooves Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Maybe I should go hang out at my fathers for this one. I am in Southwest Wake (Holly Springs) and he is in Northwest Wake (In the hook), looks to be quite the difference lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No snow for you Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 It is 43 here and now I read the 925's are too warm. All I will say to that is "nailed it". Never trust the models where the cold has to come over the mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
