Poimen Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 That band in the Triad is oriented in such a way that its pretty much stationary over my area. The snow is light but everything is adding up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed that too. It hasn’t been showing that moving through intact to any significant degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radar really going nuts actually, 20-25 DBZ in a band thats probably seeing ratios climb to 15-20:1 heck might even be good for another 1-2"...we had something like that happen in the Dec 2000 storm here, everyone thought it was over then a new band formed and dumped 2-3" on us in a hour and half. That a lot of new development on radar in the last hr, again this ULL is for real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach McGuirk Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 3 inches on the deck, 26.4 degrees. More to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WidreMann Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Can't say this band is that exciting where I am, also southern Durham. There are flakes and they are falling, but it's not a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finished with 5.8, also way beyond what was expected. It was all snow too. No rain. Snow from 3:00 AM until around 6:00 PM. Amazing day of light snowfall. Yesterday morn the forecast was for under an inch of snow. I finished the event under a WSW for 3-6 inches, and I just about pegged that top number. Fantastic storm. The fast-changing conditions and major over-performance reminds me of the Christmas Day storm. That's when I joined this board. On Christmas Eve, the models kept upping the totals one run after another until we ended Christmas Day with 8 inches of snow. I love surprises...of this type.

Yep, for every one of these there are 3 that don't turn out as well as we had hoped. I will enjoy being on the better side of a storm for once. Ended up right at 6 inches myself.

Everyday is a new day to learn something. I wouldn’t call saying not a big deal 4 days before an event that people on this board doubted as well at that time frame is dropping the ball. He’s trying to prevent the chaos that happens here when people see any forecast of snow but he also has to include it in the forecast or he will look dumb for not forecasting anything when others are.

How about using a statement like " I'm not seeing this event coming together at present but I will certainly keep an eye on it and advise if things change" vs. "Trust me....this is no big deal". He really needs to brush up on his communication strategy. We all recognize tv mets dont have the luxury of brash, bold statements that we see on this site.

I think there's a sort of implicit incentive for weather people to downplay events because it makes people like them more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
