CaryWx Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 WRAL has increased snow totals too, well they edged Wake County into the 6-10 range. Wonder why they are so bullish. WRAL Map Obviously they did not consult Widre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WidreMann Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Obviously they did not consult Widre. Or the latest RUC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strongwxnc Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Here is the 850 maps. the lower it goes the better ratio we have. When is that predicted to occur? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpiemaniac Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Obviously they did not consult Widre. If you look closely, there's a blank white zero accumulation dot in Orange County. That's the group home where Wildre lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DopplerWx Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Or the latest RUC. It is such a minor shift it isnt really worth noting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Rain Posted December 25, 2010 Author Share Posted December 25, 2010 Yikes, not liking the latest RUC's, seems to have shifted east a bit. I agree, although it's slight. I hope it doesn't end up making a lot of difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBUWX23 Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 It is such a minor shift it isnt really worth noting. Its actually stronger with a more consolidated center contour. The L on the map is in a different spot but the low itself is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gastonwxman Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Unbelievable out here. Right as the snow picked up, it was already beginning to cover the ground. Cherryville apparently got 2 inches up their way about 30 minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBUWX23 Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Further east? I dont think so. This is a perfect track for snow in Raleigh.. Dont look at that light green and scream mercy bc its dry. Its a 1 hr precip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The L on the map is in a different spot but the low itself is not. Thanks for bringing some meteorology to the discussion. I asked this before, should we be concerned about the shrinking of precip back upstream in GA? Or is it more of a situation that precip will develop over us as opposed to translating in from upstream? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is going to shift to a N-S direction and the shield take on a more commas head shape later tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Radar filling back in for folks in middle and eastern TN. The wind is starting to blow - pretty cold @ 29 F. Now that is is dark, I'd have to agree w/ the NWS that another inch or two is not out of the question. This is true winter weather. We only have a dusting to an inch here in Kingsport, but I've spent many a Christmas day looking at brown grass. So, this is a treat. Looks like a thaw on the way to begin January, but the pattern still has a blocky look. The SE ridge pokes up its head during the last half of the 18z model run, still w/ the blocky look. On the other hand, the 10 day Euro doesn't look so warm and still appears to have somewhat of a block in place at 240 hr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtg947h Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Just starting to see it stick here in Fayetteville, GA (visiting the in-laws). Had rain most of the day, and saw the first flakes just before 1700. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rduwx Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Thanks for bringing some meteorology to the discussion. I asked this before, should we be concerned about the shrinking of precip back upstream in GA? Or is it more of a situation that precip will develop over us as opposed to translating in from upstream? I agree, I appreciate it. For someone that is new to the forum or don't have any experience w/ these forums during a snowstorm, Widre would make them believe they aren't getting anything.

strongwxnc Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Just measured 2" outside. Looks like the storm is starting to pivot. However, I could not tell you how much longer WNC (or our area) could see snow. I assume, all night long! Thanks. I wonder how much longer our area will see snow?

rosie Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... NOT MUCH FUN FORECASTING THIS EVENT...BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO BE COMPLAINING. SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF SNOW HAS FALLEN ACROSS NORTH GA TODAY. LATEST REPORTS HAD 4 TO 6 INCHES ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES AND 1 TO 2 INCHES NEXT TWO ROWS OF COUNTIES. TOUGH TO GET MUCH ACCUMULATION OVER AREAS SOUTH OF I-20/I-85 TODAY WIT WARMER SFC TEMPS/DEWPOINTS IN SPITE OF VERY COLD AIR ABOVE THE GROUND. BACK EDGE OF PRECIP CURRENTLY FROM ROME TO DALTON SO COULD STILL SEE A FEW MORE INCHES. MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON TIMING OF BACK EDGE...WHICH SHOULD BE FROM NEAR COLUMBUS TO ATHENS BY MIDNIGHT AND MAINLY CONFINED TO EASTCENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST PART OF CWA BY 6AM. They all do have a sense of humor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
