These CAD storms tend to trend colder as time goes on. Definitely getting interesting Yep. If it trends hold, I'd almost expect that RGEM map with freezing rain along the edges from GSP to Johnston Co. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friday has legs imo. Won’t be a snowstorm but potentially a disruptive winter event if modeling trends continue. Most of us had written it off but it’s trended colder and colder for a couple days now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it bad to say I kind of want an ice storm? It’s been so long since we had one in Raleigh that amounted to anything other than a nuisance event. Definitely helps I have a generator that’s been sitting unused for 3 years 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for myself, i need to eat all the frozen shrimp in my freezer before i can in good conscience root for a zr storm. GFS showing some all-timer potential for somebody; can't say i'd be bummed if the GFS panned out (although I expect to see many more shifts and solutions) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that has a look to it that could potentially make a lot of folks happy as we move forward. I think the main thing to take away from this is that the models are showing the players on the field and the potential is coming into better focus of scoring with something. Maybe some good times ahead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Well, some people on this board may have been a bit too quick to press the “cancel” button on this winter from today’s 12z suite so far. That’s all I’ll say. Many, many more runs to go but Friday through next week gives us some pretty awesome potential. Not saying we’ll get a flake or ice pellet but winter most definitely looks to be alive and well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the opposite too...Orlando was sitting at 81 degrees 18z Friday if I recall correctly. Anything can happen at this point. We need to look at the trends and blends at this point without any bias. I’m as guilty as the next guy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
