buckeyefan1 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Well, local tv met, Kristie Henderson just put a 'damper' on things for me. Snow, changing to sleet, then to freezing rain and then to a cold rain. All that after giving us a PBP of how they formulate a forecast (including the new program for how much bread and milk we'll need) I am not kidding. :lol: We got a discussion on how many days of school the children need to have per year. They even have it under the Winter Storm Watch they keep flashing on the screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEGa Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 woo hoo....both nam and gfs at 18z showing 6"+ ne ga into the upstate :snowman: i would gladly pay to have this verify lol as for the chances of sleet/ice. well many storms i recall (even in the 80s) were rarely all snow. several had 6-8 inches with a quarter inch ice. that really helps keep it around on the ground give my 5-6" and some ice and you wont hear any complaints from me (unless the next county gets a foot ) edit: yeah i know this is probably old news to most. i have finally got home and finished feeding the dogs and am able to look at the latest model runs. . . i like what i am seeing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaffneyPeach Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I have been trying to figure out a way to get my daughter back to school in Northern Greenville 'before' the weather cranks up.

UpStateCAD Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Thanks!! I always enjoy your snowy posts while we are getting screwed over here; Ok, maybe I also get a little jealous too... Thanks man!! Hope you all get a blasting too. After this last storm however, I won't believe anything until I see it happen with my own eyes accumulating in my own back yard....

Itunis Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Glenn motherf'in Burns is calling for 4-8" as of 6 PM! Kirk Mellish is on the conservative side and is calling for 2-4". Right now FFC's call is looking pretty reasonable IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Something else a little amusing around here... as soon as the Winter Weather Advisory was issued this afternoon, Johnston County, NC (the county East of Raleigh) canceled all sports and school events for tonight. I don't have a dog in the fight, but I'm betting that there's a lot of miffed and irate parents and students staring up at the star-studded skies and wondering "HUH?"

SN_Lover Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Charlotte forecast from WSOCTV: The next storm system is on track to arrive in the Charlotte area on Monday morning. Ahrens said there are two important questions still surrounding next week’s storm: the strength of the storm scheduled to move into the Gulf of Mexico on Sunday and the amount of cold air it will bring to Charlotte. At this point, the storm looks to weaken as it moves from the Gulf of Mexico toward the Carolina coast, Ahrens said. This will limit the amount of cold air available and as usual, the Charlotte area will be right on the fence with that cold air. Ahrens said snow will start falling in Charlotte on Monday morning, but as the day goes on, it may mix with sleet and possibly rain. That will limit snow accumulations, with a total of 1 to 3 inches in the current forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now FFC's call is looking pretty reasonable IMO. are you serious? he said 4-8 two days out> that seals our fate for nothing lol. i have never heard him do that. i didnt bother to watch the atl news tonight figuring they wouldnt really be talking about it until tomorrow night or sunday! not that atl ever covers mby anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubbing the Champs Sports Bowl in? I have some friends at WVU. I am concerned about missing the Monday-Tuesday storm to the south now that I'm going to be in Raleigh. It looks like I may be in the mix for a changeover to ZR/RN more than I'd like. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jburns Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Your kidding, I can't believe they cancelled events tonight. It's 40F right now at 8:00pm. Speaking of canceling things, Raleigh is about to cancel the WWA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packbacker Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Speaking of canceling things, Raleigh is about to cancel the WWA. From the looks of the NAM we are going to strike out on Monday/Tuesday. This is painful to watch. But, it's better the models show this now instead of busting on Monday.

magpiemaniac Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I was all prepared to have Monday's system implode for us in NC, but to have this clipper fail miserably is just insulting now. If this keeps up, I might pull a Brick and starting calling for an early Spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feloniousq Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 We can say all the usual "the models aren't handling it", "this isn't in X model's wheelhouse", etc., but the trends for central NC are piss-poor right now. I was also hoping this good-for-nothing clipper would help out with temps and surface accumulations, but we can see where that got us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
