Jon Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Not arguing with you anymore. The next frames show 30+ DBZ over your house and everyone central and eastern NC. I dont even live there anymore... I have blizzard warnings and I still post in the SE thread. Maybe I shouldnt anymore. Don't feed the troll man...I don't see why people keep complaining, they should know if they're in the triangle they should expect the majority of what they get overnight into Sunday...they are upset others are getting their 3"+ totals now and starting to line up on the cliff...hilarious, actually.

You should definitely NOT argue with Widre anymore, but you definitely SHOULD post in the SE forum. Should we worry at all about the convection robbing the moisture transport? Or is this not one of the situations where that's a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowacane Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Yeah.. Im jewish so today is just another day for me. Everyone needs to stop worrying about not seeing snow whent Its Christmas. Enjoy it! The snow is coming. I'm an old man and have only seen it snow on xmas when I go somewhere else. Certainly hope that it will here, and cannot wait till the returns on radar turn into something here at the surface. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really enjoy reading your posts as we move along with this system. very informative and I've actually been learning some stuff today Thank you! - To keep this post on topic, found another rain/snow line radar from WCNC.. not sure how accurate this is.. but it looks awfully similar to GREarth.

HKY_WX Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 An example of how we still don't get much snow? I don't know why there is all that precip in the foothills and mountains. Certainly not b/c of the track of the low. the low track is not that bad for us. just offshore is pretty good here. how is it not gonna snow in the triangle with a strengthening 850 low just east of you later tonight? unless this storm defies the laws of science, you should be good.

Frankly, it keeps me grounded and I don't even live close to you! LOL! ....on another note, Widre is often as right as he is wrong. Seems like a good batting average, even IF he had a MET tag.

wncsnow Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 about 5 inches here as darkness descends on the foothills, temps is finally down to freezing and the RADAR is looking better I think we will end up with around 8, but if a good band sets up over McDowell then more EDIT- oops meant to put this in the obs thread... my apologies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rduwx Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Well I just got caught up on my reading. I've been celebrating Christmas with the family and haven't been paying to close of attention with what is going on. After catching up on my reading I see this is a normal SE snowstorm thread. Radar looks good, nice model agreement, and Widre doing his normal crying about how he's going to miss another one. The sad thing is he always ends up w/ more than others. Good to see things haven't changed for another year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gastonwxman Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Well, after waiting for several hours, the snow is finally coming down here. Looks absolutely beautiful from the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfan98 Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Raleigh is also upping totals for the Triad region based on the 1-3 inches that has already fallen. I'm just south of that area and have seen some wet flakes but absolutely no accumulation so far. It looks like a lull for about 2 more hours for me based on current radar loop. AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC 544 PM EST SAT DEC 25 2010 .SYNOPSIS... A STRENGTHENING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO TO OFF THE NORTH CAROLINA COAST TONIGHT AND SUNDAY... THEN REACH ALONG THE NEW ENGLAND COAST MONDAY. VERY COLD AIR WILL FOLLOW THE STORM. A WARM-UP WILL BEGIN THURSDAY LASTING WELL INTO NEXT WEEKEND. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... -- Changed Discussion --AS OF 545 PM SATURDAY... WINTER STORM WARNING CONTINUES FOR CENTRAL NC... QUICK UPDATE TO THE FORECAST FOR THE TRIAD. INCREASING SNOW TOTALS TO 6 INCHES WITH SOME HIGH AMOUNTS. THIS IS REFLECTED IN THE WINTER STORM WARNING. UPDATING THE GRIDS AND OTHER FORECAST PRODUCTS. THIS UPDATE IS TO ACCOUNT FOR THE 1-3 INCHES OF SNOW ALREADY ON THE GROUND. MAY NEED TO INCREASE SNOW TOTALS BEYOND THE FORECAST 6 INCHES IN THE TRIAD LATER THIS EVENING. WILL ASSESS THIS OVER THE COMING HOURS. FORECAST RELATIVELY UNCHANGED FROM EARLIER ADJUSTMENTS... AS CONFIDENCE CONTINUES TO INCREASE FOR A SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM -- WITH WIDESPREAD THREE TO SIX INCHES OF SNOW -- OVER ALL OF CENTRAL NC THROUGH SUNDAY. THE POTENTIAL ALSO EXISTS FOR LOCALLY HIGHER STORM TOTAL AMOUNTS OF AROUND SIX TO EIGHT INCHES... MAINLY ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE NORTHERN PIEDMONT AND NORTHERN COASTAL PLAIN... AROUND A LINE FROM NEAR LEXINGTON AND ESPECIALLY POINTS EAST NORTHEASTWARD TO THE TRIANGLE AND ROCKY MOUNT/ROANOKE RAPIDS. THE SHIELD OF PRECIPITATION EXPANDING INTO SOUTHERN VA AND THE WESTERN CAROLINAS THIS AFTERNOON APPEARS TO BE DRIVEN BY A 100+ KT WSW UPPER JET STREAK FROM THE MID SOUTH TO THE OHIO VALLEY... AND AN ATTENDING LOWER TROPOSPHERIC FRONTAL ZONE/TROUGH AXIS CENTERED AROUND H85 PER 12Z ANALYSES. THE LATEST NWP GUIDANCE IS IN REMARKABLY GOOD AGREEMENT (FINALLY) WITH MASS AND PRECIPITATION FIELDS. THEY SUGGEST THE SURFACE LOW OVER THE NORTHERN GOM JUST SOUTH OF PENSACOLA FL (DOWN TO AROUND 1008 MB AT 19Z) AND ATTENDING A WELL-DEFINED SOUTHERN STREAM S/W TROUGH ALOFT WILL CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY AND TRACK ENE THIS EVENING AND THEN NE ALONG THE GULF STREAM TONIGHT AND SUNDAY... IN RESPONSE TO THE AMPLIFICATION OF NORTHERN STREAM ENERGY AND RESULTANT BACKING OF THE FLOW ALOFT. WHILE WE DO EXPECT THE NORTHERN STREAM AMPLIFICATION TO HOLD THE SURFACE PRESSURE FALLS AND SAID LOW TRACK OVER THE GULF STREAM... WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE CONVECTION OVER THE NORTHERN GOM AS IT RACES ACROSS THE FL PANHANDLE THIS EVENING. THIS CONVECTION COULD CONCEIVABLY PULL THE SURFACE LOW ON A MORE EASTWARD TRACK AND CAUSE LESS IMPACT OVER CENTRAL NC... BUT THIS AGAIN REMAINS A MUCH LESS LIKELY... ALTERNATE SCENARIO TO OUR OTHERWISE RELATIVELY HIGH CONFIDENCE FORECAST. NWP MODEL AND OBSERVATIONAL TRENDS SUGGESTS THE AFOREMENTIONED PRECIPITATION SHIELD WILL ACCORDINGLY EDGE SOUTHEASTWARD AND BECOME MORE MERIDIONAL IN RESPONSE TO BACKING OF THE FLOW ALOFT THROUGH MIDNIGHT.. AFTER WHICH TIME THE DEVELOPING DEFORMATION/COMMA HEAD OVER AL AND GA WILL EXPAND AND INTENSIFY INTO EAST-CENTRAL NC... ROUGHLY FROM RALEIGH EASTWARD. LIQUID EQUIVALENT AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM AROUND THREE OR FOUR TENTHS OF AN INCH OVER THE SOUTHERN PIEDMONT TO AROUND A SIX TENTHS OF AN INCH OVER THE NORTHERN COASTAL PLAIN. SURFACE TEMPERATURES -- WHICH HAVE CLIMBED INTO THE MIDDLE 40S TO NEAR 50 DEGREES TODAY-- WILL LIKELY ULTIMATELY LIMIT TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATION TO AROUND THREE OR FOUR INCHES SOUTH AND EAST OF THE GOLDSBORO... FAYETTEVILLE... AND WADESBORO AREAS... WITH HIGHEST AMOUNTS (FOUR TO SIX INCHES AND LOCALLY HIGHER) TO THE NORTH AND WEST WHERE SNOW RATIOS WILL TREND FROM AROUND 10:1 EARLY THIS EVENING TO CLOSER TO 15:1 OVERNIGHT. LOWS IN THE UPPER 20S NW TO AROUND FREEZING OR SO TOWARD THE SOUTHERN COASTAL PLAIN. SUNDAY: THE MAJOR WINTER STORM WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK ALONG THE NC TO MIDDLE ATLANTIC COASTS... SO WE EXPECT THE WIDESPREAD... HIGHER INTENSITY SNOW TO COME TO AN END FROM WEST TO EAST THROUGH THE MIDDAY HOURS... LINGERING LONGEST OVER THE NORTHERN COASTAL PLAIN INTO THE MID-LATE AFTERNOON. WE WILL HOLD A SLIGHT TO SMALL CHANCE OF LIGHT SNOW OR FLURRIES FOR MOST OF THE DAY AREAWIDE... HOWEVER... AS THE CLOSED MID LEVEL LOW PIVOTS EASTWARD ACROSS THE REGION. HIGH TEMPERATURES WITH A PROJECTED FRESH SNOWPACK OVER THE REGION WILL STRUGGLE TO CLIMB INTO THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 30S. BLUSTERY WITH A GUSTY NORTHWEST WIND BEHIND THE DEPARTING CYCLONE. -MWS-- End Changed Discussion -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
