I've been looking at Greenville South Carolina to possibly move there... every time I check the weather in Greenville it's always warmer than Atlanta which is farther south... is it because the cold air does not get over the mountains as easily or because of downsloping? Just curious... I know during wedge scenarios Greenville is probably cooler than a lot of places..

It is and if you're a snow lover make sure you buy a house north of I85. Downtown Greenville and points north. They can get a ripping snowstorm while us folks down here in the golden strip area get rain with backend flurries. Downtown Greenville gets snow every year. Even in bad winters

Even if I had a paycheck at the moment, I'll just be honest, while I like following the weather, I don't like it enough to pay for full access to the Euro. This was disappointing.

agreed... I can usually get enough info from the maps on tidbits to get an idea
 
Thanks for the info...what is the golden strp?

It's an area just south of I 85 in Greenville, SC. A group of cities: Simpsonville, Fountain Inn, Mauldin. If you move here, and like snow, it's imperative that you locate North of I 85! Travelers Rest, Taylors, etc in Northern Greenville county, always score if it's borderline, seen it 1000 times, I'm raining in Simpsonville, and Travelers rest already 3-5" on the ground! :(
 
I've been MIA for a bit, I'm sure no one noticed or missed me.... Lol. Actually just about mentally/emotionally spent from work (I hear ya Brick going to work everyday sucks!) oh and I just got my light bill from last month sooooo while some cold and another snow would be great, I think I'd be fine if it didn't happen haha. Interesting little quick hitter possible Tuesday I see.... hmm

Just for what it's worth, not that it means much (and I'm not going to dig up my observation now, but I could later), but the ICON was several degrees too warm at one point at least observing here. It had me in the mid 40s during the main part of that good band outside of the main event in NC and well yeah...no. It very well may have been 9-10 degrees off. It was showing me at 45 degrees and that was not even close. I was at 35-36 during the event.

Did you not read the first part of my post? I agree, he, per usual, doesn't know how to hold a civil debate without wrongly accusing the other party of being inferior and wrong, even when he, in fact, is the wrong one.

I did read the first part. But did you not read mine? You can make a point without adding a dose of salt to each post.
 
We all make mistakes, I have made a bunch of late with this pattern and completely missed out on the MJO event that's happening now, I was likely way too warm on the winter thus far and yeah my concerns with mixing were way overdone with the last storm, see how hard that was? However, on the same token it did not easily snow at 40 degrees and Raleigh got awfully close to mixing with rain, those half dollar sized flakes late in the morning are a classic signature of riding just miles NW of the R-S line. You won't hear any complaints out of me about it, you just can't beat those super fat, wet aggregates. I'm very satisfied to see that Raleigh can still pull out storms like this and not get epically shafted. I'm still waiting on the one that drops a bullseye over the US 64 or US 1 corridor like we see on many occasions in La Ninas.

Folks, I am going to need some more snow here soon. Having to go to work every day this week sucks.

No kidding... I was telling people that at work today. Especially coming out of the holiday season as well when we had lots of time off.

Of course when I worked in both Raleigh and Winston-Salem (May 2010 through May 2017) the law firm I worked at NEVER closed for snow, no matter how much snow we got. They had a "snow team" that stayed in a hotel across the street from the main office in W-S so nothing would go wrong so the attorneys could work from home, which meant that the office was "open" (the staff was expected to come in or take a vacation day, which is what I did). Note that we had offices around the east coast, and the Atlanta office would close for snow, the DC office, etc., but all the NC offices stayed open every single time.

So far at a new firm in Atlanta, my office has closed for two days for a tropical storm and a day and half for snow.

Sorry for the rant - we need more snow!

Just figured out that the ICON is just wrong on my temps completely, pressed the analysis button and it had 40...nah man...it's 28 at the NWS station here (and 30 at the closest station to me). So it's wildly wrong on that.

Here it is (so nevermind on what I said)...

I think the ICON had it nailed down though on precip pretty early but it may have a warm bias that needs to be taken into account. After that run it seemed like it started to backpedal on it's temps.

I have no problem admitting I was wrong. But it does snow at 40F. Where did I say it would snow at 40F at RDU in that event? I didn't. You need to go back and read before you post something so pompously about how others are wrong.

I asked a question about whether it could snow at 40 degrees in the event and you said "easily", so you were wrong but you don't want to admit it.
 
Seen it snowing in springtime here in Asheville with temps in the middle 50's. Immediately started dropping but it can and will do it well above freezing.
