TampaMan Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Yes, I took my break. I apologize for glooming and dooming yesterday. Weather made my emotions high. I apologize, all. Hopefully we can get some more on the back end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None here at all We (Currituck) have a 2 hour delay because of rain. At least it snowed a bit by you. Maybe you luck into an inch tonight so that tomorrow's commute is a mess. That's more impactful than this AM. You're going to get yours saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight might be worse because temps will drop after any snow that falls. Sat will be a slopfest at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglesin2011 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Yep, it’s why that break & the temperature getting over freezing for a few hours is going to be huge for avoiding any major ice damage… We will see how fast the cold air works in & re freezes everything… Hopefully we can hit another good band right before the storm pulls away… After 5 to 6pm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglesin2011 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 About an inch or less most likely in most places, but again depending how & where the banding comes through there could be a couple inches added in isolated areas… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeeng92 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Most aggressive is FV3 with 2-3. Meanwhile hearing branches snap outside and power flickering 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TampaMan Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Grilling some eggs lol. Power out. Ice falling. This is what we want! Well besides power outages. Hoping for a solid 1-3 inches on the backend. Boss is pissed my power is out. Told me to drive to Starbucks. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TampaMan Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 NBC12 is saying snow from 5 pm to 11pm. Depending on rates we could be looking at another layer of 2-4 inches. This would be insane due to the ground already being frozen. It’s dark out and it’s 11 am. Roads are freezing over already. Went on a walk with my son and the roads noticeably are getting icy again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume this would be a textbook Miller A evolution? Latest EPS ensembles have the coastal low much further off the coast than the American solution. Will be interesting to see if the models begin to converge at all. Given the arctic blast, I would be surprised to see us not have enough cold air for this event. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
