Lol she’s got it raining in Asheville. I don’t know how you watch that trash! If I catch my son watching Fox 21 he’s grounded for a month.
Yeah, I usually just watch the morning, and Nicole P , can tell me It’ll be 70 and sunny on Saturday, I believe!!
 
I just don't get this notion that the models are right when they shifted farther north with the later model runs today, but somehow were wrong when they were going farther south with the earlier model runs the same day, especially this far out. We really don' know which ones are "right", and I would not call it a trend when they have shifted both ways in 24 hours.
 
I just had to cancel my reservations to Sugar Mountain this weekend due to family matters. Pretty bummed, but such is life. Hope you guys score bigly amounts of sner
Dude, that sucks! But they still bust hard up there sometimes too! It’s been years ago, but Asheville was forecasted to get 15” one year on Saturday. Spur of the moment we drive up, got a room for 2 nights, got up there about midnight, it was snowing moderately, went to sleep, woke up to green grass!! Flurries all day, dusting Sat night, and that was it! It was rough!

I had a room reserved in Maggie Valley for 2 nights too. Cancelled that one as well :( I’m impulsive. I booked $1,000 worth of rooms this afternoon after the 12z models showed rain here lmao

Lol! The mountains are probably the only way we see some snow with our eyes! Ooooh, it’s weather time! Bring it home Kendra!
 
GFS out to 82. Looks better than 18z

Yeah looks a tick faster. HP is a tick stronger Should stay south

good run so far

Looks north

Give it s minute. Frame is still loading

Yeah it’s north

KK breaking out ground temps limiting accums, cause it’s early in the season! I want to see her degree! She couldn’t predict a fart
 
I will not get involved till Wednesday I will not get involved till Wednesday. If I make it to Wednesday without looking at a model and checking this place every 20 minutes it will be a miracle
 
D to the T is going to lose his mind over that GFS run. He spent majority of his video tonight trashing the GFS but hugged the 18z run.
 
The 0z GFS was essentially a warmer version of Jan 1988 with lots of IP/ZR thrown into the mix, there's no way we're getting temps anywhere as cold as that storm, but it's neat to see glimpses of a generally similar large-scale pattern reappear here. It really is too bad we couldn't get this look during the heart of January but beggars can't be choosers
 
Gonna be jealous watching our NC friends expience a HECS from the sidelines. Can’t complain much after last year though.
 
Call me crazy but I still think ATL is in play for something fairly large. Cad will increase through the week
You're not crazy, it's very much still a possibility. We need the south shifts in track to continue in addition to faster timing. It would be great to have onset of precip pushing in overnight Fri/Sat Morning across here into the Carolinas. If we end up having a HP as strong as the upper 1030s to 1040mb it should help reinforce CAA and setup a stout CAD for our region. I'm waiting until 00z model guidance on Thursday night before throwing in the towel completely here.
 
Since Tuscaloosa is not really ever getting any snow anytime soon and Joe bastardi winter forecast will likely bust for the state of Alabama...cliff jumping for me Is in full effect until January... I hope you all who's getting snow enjoy

I wouldn't even throw in the towel that early. I've seen way too many events like this suddenly end up w/ a ZR threat in areas like Columbia & Atlanta at the last possible second, this CAD looks much stronger than the examples I can recall where this transpired.
 
I dont know if this is the right place to ask this but I was wondering about the members who have a meteorologist tag by their names. Are they actually meteorologists or is it a tag you earn for so many posts? Am I really stupid for asking this? Lol

I'm not a meteorologist, but I play one on the interwebs.
 
Hopefully the Euro run tonight sucks or else I'm gonna have to join Brick in going shopping for new pants

It has been a very long time since RDU has had anything significant before Christmas. We had the December 2002 storm but that was mostly ice. Before that, we had a wet snow in November 2000 but most of that event melted on contact with the ground. I hope this system has a chance to change that, but I'm skeptical until I see snow in mby
