If you look at the pivotal maps for ZR, CLT apparently gets almost an inch of ice along with that foot of snow.
Sounds a lot like Jan 1988 lol except there was less ZR...

Yes. In CLT it was 16 degrees during most of the storm!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 ?
Looks like that southern wave got ate up early by the northern piece of energy and it literally crawled from east to west along the gulf coast never really aplifying. That and a 1040 HP. It was a perfect setupI 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 ?
and it happened at the best time in terms of climo temps.. man if we could of gotten this setup in early jan... would help southern areas big timeLooks like that southern wave got ate up early by the northern piece of energy and it literally crawled from east to west along the coast never really aplifying.

yes, much colder. In the wake of that storm Memphis got down to ~5°. I remember that storm like it was yesterday.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 ?
Yeah, I had a 1/4” of ice on top of about 16” of powder in Gastonia!! Temps in the teens! As storm pulled way, went to ZR, it was greatSounds a lot like Jan 1988 lol except there was less ZR...
Hey y'all got me on ignore or something? LolOk I'm guilty of it too.... but to be consistent here, earlier we asked all Feb 14 talk go to banter, guess we should do the same for the '88 storm.
Faster run, that's whyGefs went down a little
I actually don't have an issue with it, earlier the timing was bad and just kept on and on lol.... when in context and not disrupting the flow I'm good with itMet, I thought that was very much respectful of you to consider doing that. I personally think those storms have something to offer us in reference to our current one, but I do understand how new site members could get confused.
Ever so slightly. Noise really.Gefs went north
GEFS has been fairly consistent for several runs now with track. Latest mean went up.

I think Wake/Chatham can live with that. NE GA and Upstate SC nice totals. Must depict strength of the HP and CAD.GEFS has been fairly consistent for several runs now with track. Latest mean went up.

With that being considered, its still a modest amount for areas south of Triangle getting some 2-4" on this model output.Oof that's a sizable shift northward against the 18z run towards the mid-Atlantic.
running out of time south of 85.GEFS has been fairly consistent for several runs now with track. Latest mean went up.

still in the 4” mean here but it’s running away north towards 85. Sounds about right though honestly
Hopefully we can see some flakes fly or at least some sleet.running out of time south of 85.

“Our short wave hasn’t even been sampled yet”GFSv3 looks like it’s gonna be N and warmer! Hour 96 low in Mexico, but precip looks wonky
