Most of us didn’t even see a flake. Not a single damn flake. it was pretty insane how much local media was playing it up. Even for the south it seemed absurd. glad you got to srr at least a few flakes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all cannot win for losing in our respective area(s). This is undoubtedly the toughest regions to forecast for snow. Hope all is well man!

Rankin5150 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 It looks like there is a little backside action filling in on radar. You all may get an hour or two of snow before it moves out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rankin5150 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 The Carolinas need to keep an eye on ULL development. Correct? This setup can really spawn one. Especially the counties adjacent to the Mountains. Just saying that this needs to be watched until the system has totally passed through. No weenie hope here.

The bad forecast on 12/8/17 might have played into it more than the 2014 incident. It was really a close call there last year. The only reason 2014 didn’t repeat that day is the road temps stayed warm til sunset otherwise it was same thing all over. My understanding is no closures occurred that day because too many days had been lost in September due to Irma so the school districts took a chance of staying open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, it seems that points east of Raleigh tend to do better with the ULL surprise snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a5ehren Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Got a brief (maybe a minute) snow shower on the back end of the precip shield. 38* so nothing stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please Lord don't you bank on seeing flakes here. The daytime temps are stubborn (just watch the temp animation) and the moisture will be long gone by the time you see much of a changeover. This has fail for 98.5% of the people in this forum and 99% of the TV forecasters written all over it. A black ice advisory is really all that merited any discussion IMO outside of any elevated areas. Cold chasing moisture never wor.........well, you know already.

And they canceled school in some of these areas, too. Disaster. That seems to me to be a rather questionable definition of a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

School buses stranded on icy roads would be closer to a disaster. This was just liberal use of one of the three days that Atlanta Public Schools built into the calendar.

Yeah I am more excited about a a decent squall with graupel and wind than any token backside flakes that probably isnt going to happen anyways, going from 62 to 32 in 3-4 hrs is much more cooler to me....
