The people I work with have never looked at a weather model. All they know is what the people on tv said. Even if models weren’t available they’d still be mad. Some people just like to complain. They live and die by the models just like everyone else I guess. Maybe only the NWS needs access to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather weenies should never talk to civilians about forecasted winter weather...you’re going to lose that every time.

wx4life Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Sitting at 33°DP 33° here in Indian Trail, NC with rain. Most of the day we have had rain. Around 1:00pm it started mixing with sleet. By 2:00pm snow mixed in with the rain. There was a 30-45 min period where we were mostly snow. We desperately need the rain here and even though I'm slightly envious of everyone getting slammed, I'm content with what I've had. This was such a great model chase and seeing places in the deep South getting snow has been awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NGTim Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 i did the snow board method, wiped if off about 3 times today, and measured 5.75 inches here in Dahlonega, GA. There is only around 3.5 to 4 inches on the ground though. Still coming down. its been snowing for over 14 hours straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol it feels like cheating. i just knew there would be melting. I'm not sure what to turn into nws in the morning. I guess its valid, as we report both snowfall as well as depth on the ground. Glad you saw this, when we see all the reports on facebook and mine may look inflated. Suches has to be on track to get a foot or more.? They were running in the high 20s when we were sitting at 34 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceagewhereartthou Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 GSP has a totals list, saw 15 inches in Highlands. Also noticed Brevard with 10.5, I wonder how much Ceasers Head has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarmNose Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 The good thing about this backend is that we won't be fighting WAA. I think parts of the upstate here will score 1-2" with the backend. Maybe more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You right about that. WV pretty well matches all the modeling to extent. Interesting side note convection seems to be waning over FL. May allow more moisture.

We rain for a bit as it starts, then looks to be moderate for a few hours. I think we would see another inch if we are lucky! 33 and cloudy!

MarvelMountain Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Started snowing at 9 a.m., and except for a light rain between 3:30 and 4:30, it hasn't stopped. Very hard with large flakes at 5 p.m. Temp dropped below freezing after 8 p.m. 3" by 3:30. lost some with the rain, but back over 3: on the deck now. Altogether, over 4" so far, and still falling. Trees and ground covered. No disappointment here. Looking forward to daylight. A Winter Wonderland...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We knew the backend was the only chance we had for accums. That dusting and those silver dollar flakes earlier put us ahead of the game. We're playing with house money. Let's reel it in. If not, we can always ride 20 minutes to TR tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
