CAPE Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Just got a report and a photo from my brother in Oak Ridge outside of Greensboro- its a pummeling. Approaching a foot already. Damn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricanegiants Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Oh to have the forecast be overridden by Mother Nature. Just 2-3 inches to the snow starved NOVA. I remember in ‘97, as many of us do, when we went from 2-3 to over a foot. Not going to get anywhere near that of course. But 2 inches IMBY more than a dusting would be considered a win.

Soaring Eagle is in the distance for those who know the resort. Sweet, ski free up there today, right? If we resident I think. Enjoy the winter bliss up there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time GSP received double digit snowfall in a season was 1992-93. So this storm really is historic for them. EDIT: I checked the wrong town. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes me wonder how geographically accurate the meteocentre maps and meteograms are. I hope everyone who's getting snow enjoys it. Looks like I'm on the wrong side of the DC snow shield for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter lives there - I am not talking out of my ass - they’ve had two warning level events now the last two years that have dwarfed anything we’ve gotten. I know , because I am related to her and she sends pics and reports. You don’t always have to be contrarian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just realized I clicked on the wrong WFO and looked at the data for Greenville, SC instead. So, dumb mistake from me. EDIT: Looks like they had a 7" storm last January and 8" storm the year before.

clskinsfan Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I have just been looking at VA traffic cams with envy. 81 is a disaster from the TN border to Staunton basically.

I think the avg annual snowfall there is around 9". They have been on a nice streak, but this one will probably end up being the biggest event in many years.

Hurricanegiants Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Never fun when all of the updates are about snow IMBY and not any model data. Which is to be expected as the clock has struck 12 basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not happening, yet I keep doing it Just looked at all the 12z runs and it seems like the closest accumulating snow might be lower S MD over to about Cambridge and SBY, Maybe an inch or 2 if it comes down hard enough to overcome the mildish boundary layer. Places just north of there might see some stray flakes. I doubt even that makes it up to my yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
