jjwxman Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Wow, based on the latest discussion from RAH, I get the feeling they are very unimpressed. Basically Triad area may get an inch at best and areas south and east of 40/85 in their forecasting area may not see any accumulation at all, hardly even mention the back end snow. Totally different vibe than last night’s discussion when they were going with the higher QPF NAM and possibly adding counties to the Winter Storm Watch. Sounds like the morning crew are siding with the Euro solution of less moisture. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenc Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Winter wx is near impossible to nail down in NC and SC. Normally it becomes a nowcasting situation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornAgain13 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Someone is going to get a lot of snow , and a lot will not... this is very tricky... especially for my area , most models have shifted south, with a near-miss here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think North of 73 in the metro is always a safe bet in these situations but this isnt your typical overrunning storm. We dont know yet where these bands will setup but it seems like the banding has focused on 85 from the SC border to the VA Border. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So blending all the models gives me a wet ground with token flakes looks like. That’s about par for the course in this area. Hope you NC peeps get hammered..

magpiemaniac Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 My home is in northern Guilford while I own acreage in eastern Stokes. They’re a short drive apart. The house is within the RAH forecasting area while the land is within RNK’s. It’s funny to see the differences in each office’s call maps and forecasts for the same storm. RAH is generally more conservative. So basically for this storm, RAH says to expect 1” of snow at my house, while RNK thinks I can drive a few minutes to the land and expect to see 4” of snow. I’m betting on 2” at the house and 3” at the land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3k has the strongest cutoff low and it lasts the longest as well. That’s why Charlotte and areas east get snow at all. Any changes to that cutoff will make or break snow accumulations in those areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their current call Is a perfectly plausible outcome, but more seems likely. They're currently calling for more rain than snow, at least in their hourly, which is a bit strange. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in east Charlotte at the time. We had 16". You're right, this was the last "big one" for Charlotte and I'm always chasing that 2004 redux dream every winter since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpiemaniac Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Colder now than I expected. It’s 24 degrees here north of GSO. I tend to stay a degree or two cooler here than downtown. I’m hoping that pays off for this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshWeather Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Had 27 on the car in N. Durham this morning. 25 in southern person county. Quite chilly. Hoping my move from Stallings to Durham earlier this year proves fruitful in the snow department. In my 7 years in stallings i think we saw a total of 5 inches of snow.

Yea I remember years past commiserating on our lack of snow here! You must’ve been in an even worse spot since it’d be snowing where I am and raining where you were. Good luck in Durham!

I lived in Hamilton Lakes for a long time until moving to the north side of the county last year. Good luck with this system. I’m hoping we all get enough to at least cover every blade of grass. That way, I can pretend it’s a foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't blame them for being conservative. Marginal temps mean accumulations will be hard to come by. Screw zone and bust potential pretty big on this one as it is with most of these ULLs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I have been MIA being too busy to get on here. My call at this point is: Western Mountains of NC to Pilot Mountain/Hanging Rock, and adjacent VA: 3-6 (locally 8) inches Triad to Danviile VA: 1-3 (locally 4) inches RDU: Dusting to an inch South and east of there: token flakes at the end 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
