Iceagewhereartthou Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Impressive temps where the snow is, I'm so jealous of you coastal guys I can't even see straight! Made it down to 10 this morning, so lows this year have been (in descending order) 15, 13, 10, 9, 8; not bad considering I'm not in the mountains and we have no snow to help. Man this could have been epic if even 1 of the 6 chances since Christmas had worked out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormsfury Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Alright here is the 12/27/17 GDPS for 240hrs ending 01/06/18 at 12z. Let's compare progged vs actual. KCHS progged 16° ... actual 23°... Ironically, GDPS had snow cover at KCHS at this time frame and deeper further inland... so how did the GDPS compare to your nearest location?

All I have is a little space heater and a generator Be careful. Reminds me of a story my mother told me that occurred during the February 1958 cold wave when my parents were building the family home. Workers had set up a salamander heater in the kitchen that overheated and caused a fire. Being that the house was a month away from being completed, the building contractor went on a foul-mouthed tirade berating the workers since he had to absorb the damage costs caused by the fire. Records set during that cold spell still stand today in Charlotte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tramadoc Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Anyone know how the roads are in and around Wake/Orange/Chatham Counties? I'm driving up to Pittsboro tomorrow to buy a 93 Land Cruiser. The wife will be driving her car back while I've got the Land Cruiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceagewhereartthou Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Don't think it means anything but noticed the birds are very active this morning, lot of foraging. Probably just working harder b/c the cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the closest reporting station it was about 6 degrees off however there were pockets of -3 to -4 today in the county. I saw -1 at 8am at the same spot Shaggy had -4 an hour earlier. Per the latest sticks, 3.25-3.5" of snow cover in open areas, still not crusted on the top. We should avg about 2-3 degrees colder tonight just eyeballing dewpoints and NAM/ECMWF output. My guess is the -4 record at Greenville is safe but not secure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My nearest recording station is KEWN and although I cannot read the number next to it, there is definitely a negative sign in front of the number. The actual low was 8. So it looks to be from 8 to 12 degrees off which is very good considering that was some 10 days earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HRRR pretty much nailed it last night, the evening runs all took PGV to 0 to -1 which is about where we ended up, RGEM took us to 6 so it was off by 6 and it has us at 3 tonight...HRRR has us 0 again.

ragtop50 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 It looks like the snow pack still on the ground in the western Sandhills of NC could allow them to dip below zero tonight. Sanford and Carthage both now have lows below zero forecasted for tonight. It's a rare event to get lows like that around here! NWS has lowered tonights mins for most areas down this way to single digits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 We are now at 15/9 and it's only 7:25. Although last night we dropped quickly until we hit 14 and then sat around there for most of the night. Predicted low is 10 but was 5 a few days ago.

mackerel_sky Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 22 already. Many Greenille peeps will appreciate this, went to Conesttee park today to enjoy a good nature hike and hoping for some frozen water. To my suprise, 95% of every piece of water was frozen!! Some quite thick! Large rocks could not break through. Had a great time and some isolated spots thick enough to walk on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Course has been closed the past 8 days to protect the greens. Been a member there my whole life and I've never seen the course closed this long due to cold weather.

Drove across Saluda River yesterday and a whole stretch I saw was completely frozen. The ponds in my neighborhood are of course solid and looks very thick, probably could easily walk out there but I would never try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard for me to see a quick warm up under cloudy skies and frozen ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 In the last hour our temp has actually risen much like it did on Thursday. At 9 PM it was 12/7 and now 1 hour later it is 15/6. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hung out around there for an hour or so and has now crashed back down to 10. It did this last night as well until about 2 or 3 in the morning then it went down to low signle digits and floated between 0-5 degrres the rest of the night. Suspect the same will happen tonight. My house that registered -4 this morning was showing 5 degrees according to the wife. I'm stuck at work in a warehouse with no heat so its been a brutal week for me.
