The upper level low is the biggest improvement this run.
That look wintry for Midlands of SC too.. Tidbits model show mix along the border0z GFS simulated radar, indeed a long duration of frozen precip for NE GA and points northeast.![]()
All hail BrickI tried to tell y'all
Backside snows dont work out very well for Atlanta usually.2-4" on that backside in the NW atl burbs.
If it a chance...lmboBackside snows dont work out very well for Atlanta usually.
Roxboro is always a big winner here in NCThis run will happen , Roxboro gets 38”, so book it!
This is really not backside snow, if upper level low form and maybe secondary low.Backside snows dont work out very well for Atlanta usually.

I've seen that story too many times. It would be nice too look at but likely not amount to much. The setup just isn't looking good for our area.That nice wrap around could been a nice bit for central and north Alabama also.
A mix of snow and sleetWould the pink be sleet or freezing rain
Would the pink be sleet or freezing rain
If you take radar colored map verbatim, most of what falls in the Triangle is sleet, the snow is more west towards Randolph/Alamance/Guilford. I'm caught in between in Chatham.Wake Forest is nice.
Most of the pink on that simulated radar I posted is freezing rain. Some area's in the pink will see a transition from freezing rain to snow/sleet as the 850mb fall to freezing or slightly below. It's a simulation, so it won't be exact when it comes to reality.Would the pink be sleet or freezing rain
Thanks that helpsMost of the pink on that simulated radar I posted is freezing rain. Some area's in the pink will see a transition from freezing rain to snow/sleet as the 850mb fall to freezing or slightly below. It's a simulation, so it won't be exact when it comes to reality.
LOL!!!!! I'll buy you a cold one for that laugh buddy!!!Hard to have a December thaw with 2 feet of
Snowpack 100 miles to my north. Thanks NC. You guys saved winter
I don’t see confluence in 88’. What prevented it from exploding?I'm sorry but the 0z GFS MSLPa pressure pattern & distribution in the US is virtually identical to the infamous January 1988 storm, only nitpick is a slightly stronger low over the Gulf coast.

1988 gave me a foot of snow here in Chatham. I could only wish for a repeat of that!!!I'm sorry but the 0z GFS MSLPa pressure pattern & distribution in the US is virtually identical to the infamous January 1988 storm, only nitpick is a slightly stronger low over the Gulf coast.

I can see the deep blue at the corner of my screenOh there's a ton of confluence it's just slightly off screen over the Canadian Maritimes
This one?

I don't know of any NC folks would complain about that, even cedar island on the coast picked up 1.7"Yep lol. Even a repeat of that storm could be a bust for local sensible impacts but I don't how much closer you can get verbatim, 1040 highs are impressive even for ancient winter storms of years past around here.
Living in Chatham Co at the time, is was basically a nowcast event. Most thought the warm air would move northward with the precipitation, but the rain/snow line stayed stationary and even drifted south. Never had any mixing issues with it at all.I wonder what the difference in temps is between the Jan 88 and this storm? Did Jan 88 storm have more cold air to work with ?
