That's why I get online once a day unless there is an imminent winter storm coming in and then it's a few more times a day

Let's pray and hope for a nice southern slider. It's been a while since we have had one?

So are areas north of I-20 in Atl,,I have had over 11 inches in the last 10 days.
As long as Alaska is warm, we all win!
Call me once we have some consistency of cross polar flow inside 168hrs on the global ensembles, and a mechanism to lock a cyclone around the Bay of Fundy on said ensembles. Until then, 40N is favored with boarder-line PAC washed cold, vs amplitude south enough to matter. Current ? is west, let alone south.

CHA hasn't had a dry day since December 1st. We'll get our next one on December 12th. quite a streak.

I meant to share this with everyone here yesterday, but couldn't find the time to put the finishing touches on it.
I gave the December 8-10 2018 snowfall map I made a few years ago a much needed facelift. Really cool to see the mesoscale banding features on here. The most obvious one goes from northern Durham Co & the northern shore of Falls Lake to Wake Forest, then Wilson & Greenville, basically along US HWY 264 east of Raleigh. You can also see another one from about Elkin (Surry Co.) to Yadkinville & Mocksville, just west of the Triad.

That's one heck of a gradient across Wake, even by Wake standards lol.

One more bit of feel goods ahead of the 00z runs - I give you the 18z Euro compared to the 12z UKMET. IMO, this is what we are rooting for in the near-term (as close to the UKMET as we can get).

I personally don't recall a storm with a bigger gradient across Wake Co. Jan 1940 probably comes the closest in my mind prior to Dec 2018, but it didn't seem to have much of one across southern Wake. Big gradient between downtown Raleigh & near the airport. The northern edge of the sleet in this storm made it to about RDU/Morrisvile - Falls Lake - Louisburg. South of that, across south-central Wake to the coastal Plain, this storm was apparently primarily sleet (makes sense w/ how strong the coastal low was in reanalysis).
This is definitely another map that could use a facelift (honestly most of them could).
18z EPS remains consistent, if not slightly better
re: 2018 storm. Wake county? Heck, how about Cary by itself. I was in the 4"accumation zone and could hop in my car for <10mins and see 8" of snow on the ground.

Also the French broad River valley sticks out like a sore thumb from Madison county down into Greater Asheville. When I was in school for 4 years at UNCA that was brutal several times. Warm air flooding down the valley.
