GFS has been the only model showing winter storms this winter, for the most part. Just needs a few runs to adjust to reality for that range. Hey, I'm like a dog. I go for the fake throw every time! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about Triangle but it's not THAT late in the season Feb 21st has a sun elevation equivalent to October. The sun is just strong, and lower elevations like the triangle have a tough time accruing ice by then unless it is anomalously cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the worst ice storms I ever experienced occurred February 27, 2003. I had around 1" of ice accumulation from freezing rain at my location; some other parts of Rockingham County had even more. High temperatures were in the low to mid-60s in the days leading up to the storm, and the lowest temperature I recorded on the 27th was 28.4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 March 6-7 2014 was really bad near and south of Greensboro. I was on storm duty for the power company doing damage assessment and that area around 85 was torn up 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 45 minutes ago, Blizzard22 said: I have never in my life seen ice in Georgia after Valentine's Day. Even though you’ve never seen it, it has occurred a number of times in GA even in Mar including 3/2-3/1962 in a good portion of inland SOUTH GA (major storm), light icing to the coast on 3/2/1980 (El Nino) and a major one as late as 3/25/1971 in the Atlanta-Athens areas! There was also major icing even to the coast as late as 2/25/1914 (one of their worst ever)(another El Niño)! So, I wouldn’t at all discount the possibility of ice in GA with this next potential threat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDawg Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 GFS is proof this doesn't work without the phase. If we can't just get rid of that northern piece alltogther, then we have to get at least a partial phase. Otherwise it hanging out overtop leads to that disjointed look, with one low in the gulf and another in the lakes/Ohio valley wrecking our thermals. As we already knew from the GEFS this was in the range of possible outcomes. Key will be seeing which scenario the ensembles start to converge around over the next few days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Once again the GEFS mean and GFS are on different planets. The 0Z GEFS is pretty impressive from NE GA through much of NC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Euro op looks suppressed with the storm, but the setup would be favorable for a CAD event if precip trended further north. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDawg Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 If I had to pick a preferred solution it'd definitely be the Euro. It removes the phase from the equation, let's that northern stream energy clear the playing field for a perfectly timed CAD high. A much simpler solution with less bust potential. Too bad there's still so long to go lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDawg Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 That northern vort being stretched and strung out over the top will never work. A piece of it needs to dig and phase, like the GFS was showing yesterday or it needs to do what the Euro did last night and let the northern piece swing through ahead of our wave. This lowers heights in front of the storm and let's our CAD high anchor in, and gives the stj wave more room to amplify some. The GFS and Euro are way apart on the timing of the southern wave with the GFS being over 24 hours faster. They may even be keying in on different pieces of energy. Long ways to go... 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
