magpiemaniac Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 After growing tired of relatives in Tennessee calling us bragging about snow and asking if we were getting any, I posted the attached photo on Facebook. And, yes, we plan to get some snow, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WidreMann Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Actually my joke may be more true for my area, based on what I'm reading here. Are they backing off those earlier totals for the RDU area now? They ought to. With the trends, we'll be lucky to break 2" overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgiawx11 Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 So, BMX is saying the snow will be out of Eastern AL by 4pm eastern and the snow hasn't begun in Atlanta yet. When is it supposed to snow in Atlanta ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE POTENTIAL ALSO EXISTS FOR LOCALLY HIGHER STORM TOTAL AMOUNTS OF AROUND SIX TO EIGHT INCHES... MAINLY ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE NORTHERN PIEDMONT AND NORTHERN COASTAL PLAIN...

WidreMann Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Latest NWS RAH discussion is out. Sounds like everything is still good to go. Just need to get it started. . Kiss of death. If we see more than 2" in Chapel Hill or 3" in Raleigh, I'd be extremely surprised. My guess is that the precip will start around 5 AM, and we'll get light-moderate snow until 9 AM when the low begins to move out. We'll have patchy, barely accumulating snow after that until 11-ish and the sun will be out before sunset, melting some of the wet snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil882 Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 I'm nothing but positive for a week on end and then when the storm finally fails to materialize, people get pissed at me? The problem is... there is still plenty of time for the "storm to materialize"... its not like it doesn't exist. You are just worried because the radar doesn't seem to be over-preforming or that the tempratures went higher than expected. I think you still preform quite well for this event, despite the shortcomings. It will start snowing later tonight, and will continue until mid-afternoon tomorrow... with the rates becoming quite heavy at times. I think the Raleigh area will do quite well!
