SnowDawg Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 South and weaker, less qpf... Time for those nerves to set in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunBlade Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I’ll take weaker, cooler and especially south all day over an amped up mix of precip. So often the warm nose screws us in the clt area 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leesville Wx Hawk Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Mike Maze going out on a limb and predicting 0.7” for Raleigh. I’m 4 miles north of RDU and if I don’t get at least 1.5”, I’ll be disappointed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDawg Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 My only concern is if we start this trend now how far is it gonna go? A little drier is fine, but remember we are going to use up a decent chunk of our qpf just on moistening the column with dewpoints being as low as they are going to be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StantonParkHoya Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 We’ve reached the portion of our programming where we have two separate camps of weenies: 1) Northern / Mtn / Foothills weenies who are rooting for amped juicy phaser, mixing for brethren be damned; and 2) Eastern/Southern weenies who will take a slider / weaker / colder option, flurries or cloudy for brethren be damned. 3 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am rooting for the weaker version for now, because I know it will amp up right before game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Fellow wx weenies, I need some advice. If you were in Savannah with no chance for wintry precip, would you drive 4-5 hours to N Gwinnett county (NE of ATL) on Thu if family or friends offered you a room to stay in for the weekend and enjoy it with them? It is a few miles S of the Mall of GA. This could easily be ATL’s biggest winter storm in 11 years and years til the next major one. I haven’t seen a flake or pellet in 7 years! But I’m worried ATL is going to get mainly ZR. While ice looks pretty and would be exciting to see, heavy ZR could mean long outages/no TV/cold inside and no snow or sleet to look at and walk in. So, it could get miserable. If I knew it were going to be nearly all snow and sleet, it would be an easy decision. Weenies, what would you do? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My early call to colleagues at work today here in Hickory was 2-4 inches. Of course, I gave the usual caveats that it could be more and it could be less: Snow in the SE is never an easy forecast. So, put that all together, and I went out on a limb with a forecast of 0-12 inches for Hickory. Bank on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Buford, on the Hall County line and we should be primarily snow during the event. I would absolutely make the trip if I were you. As you can see, I am no expert, so take that with a grain of salt. Lol. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chance for glory is worth the risk you might not have TV for a bit, in my humble opinion. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leesville Wx Hawk Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 You don’t want to be without power so I would not risk it. If you were guaranteed snow without ZR, that may be different. Good luck either way.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confluence also good bit weaker comparing it to Icon same time frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
