jshetley Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 4 minutes ago, No snow for you said: 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. If we had the cold air in place and a damming high up in PA or NY we would be getting buried in snow or sleet tonight and the midlands of SC would probably get a major icestorm. If this system was just 6-10 hours slower, we would all probably do much better. That's how areas in NE NC will get their snow tomorrow when the cold air pours in, but the moisture will be gone by then west of I-77. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. And, I remember you from last year's Feb dud. We could have used an Arkham on this board last year for that cluster for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDUBRDU Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I'm so anxious about the outcome of this event. I can barely eat my lunch, which is weird because I decided it was Bo-Time today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do have a document I keep for the holidays, for random info from one year to the next (like grocery store hours, what dishes I cooked for Thanksgiving that people ate/didn't eat, shopping lists, etc). When I opened it this year I read at the very top: "STOP FOLLOWING SNOWSTORMS IT JUST MAKES YOU SAD". I don't remember typing that but maybe it was because of this Feb thing you mention.

packbacker Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 2 hours ago, Cold Rain said: I'm here...just hoping to see a burst of heavy snow in the daytime. We better hope that overrunning over performs as come about 11pm or so we will flip to sleet (i hope not rain) and then we probably won't flip back until late morning when hopefully we can get another 0.15-.2" QPF. Reminds me so much of last Januarys event, we thought mix of snow/sleet and it ended up being all sleet. Bummer...but there are worse problems to have. We sure have had some tight gradients the past few years...I guess it's better then not having any gradients. Looking forward to the warmth come mid next week, we should torch for a couple of weeks and possibly longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbrown85 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Looks like this will be another "north of 85 gets more snow" storm for the Upstate. I'm a mile from downtown Greenville in SC. WYFF is saying 2-5+. I'll take 3" that hangs around in the cold for a little bit and be happy for the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Widre is going to be right. It'll take until the wee hours of the morning for temps to drop below freezing here. At least, the rain will wash all of the brine off the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallsLake Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I know I shouldn't complain, but I'm on pins and needles for MBY. The short range models have me right on the boarder of the transition. 5 to 10 mile shifts mean very different totals. But if this ends up a sleet fest I'll still enjoy it.

FallsLake Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 By the way, if it's going to sleet I say let it stay sleet. If we can get some higher QPF totals that could equate to a decent event. One of my favorite storms was the 1996 sleet fest and that dropped 6" of sleet in Wake forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
