Wow, .4" all snow or maybe changing to sleet in ATL (esp north side) by 108. This turn of events is frankly stunning. Is this really going to happen? What a winter, now I have to follow every model for the next 5 days again.

Hopefully it makes it's way to Augusta/Aiken.

Hey, I called snow here with the last storm pretty far in advance. :weight_lift: Living here for 30 years has made me naturally pessimistic, if we get say another 2 events here with at least 1" of snow it would be the first time since I moved here in 1982. Amazing stuff. Still not 100% convinced with this next system, still too much model waffling but a consensus may be emerging. My house may be a bit too far south but someone to my north may hit the jackpot again- over 4" seems like a stretch but a solid 2-3" is certainly on the table.

Yeah, I think you did good with the last storm. :thumbsup:

But I certainly know what you mean about being pessimistic..living here has forced me to be too. Although this year has made be not be so pessimistic. I fear that might burn me in the future so I'm trying my best not to let the success we have had go to my head lol. But doesn't it seem totally bizarre to actually have systems work out days in advance? Who would have thunk it :snowman:

I never get tired of hearing someone like you saying they haven't seen anything like it before lol. I think you will get in on the action next week, although It's going to be close for some. Although there is a lot of question marks for next week, I think just about everyone will see some flakes at some point over the next 7 or 8 days.

Repeat of the last "storm"?

As in it looks similar, in some respects (not an exact match) to the Jan 10-11 event. I don't know about the qpf...but it looks like it might be similar in that the best lift and moisture don't arrive here in time (if at all). I could be wrong though...

Typical. We were very lucky with the December snows. Now it is back to normal with the cold air here but no precip around.

I don't have the maps yet but I'd guess it's overrunning...it's almost scary the similarities in the timing with the last storm, just 24 hours later.

There is a very good SW flow and the weakening but still potent short wave coming in over the cold air- the lack of a good surface low is not a problem. Probably nobody gets 8" like some did the last time, but another I-85 system with 2-4" looks very possible. Still would like to see a bunch more runs before really getting worked up but it has peaked my interest to be sure.

Thanks (to you and QueenCitywx) - was tyring to figure out how that pitiful 1016 low was generating enough precip to matter -- overrunning is the answer.

People with access to QPF on the Euro are located in Charlotte and Atlanta so we will have to hope someone feels sorry for us and gives us QPF for central/eastern NC. rolleyes.gif

If you would pay attention, I've already given details on RDU.

This whining **** about people only giving out numbers for TBY is old. Of course, I'm going to give precedent to MBY, as it is indeed where I live.
