Wintry Feb 6-8 2022 Winter Potential

Do Fram estimates usually read on the low side?
TW
Not really, imo... but they're typically somewhat close to reality if you're looking at Fram output on the Hrrr right before the event starts. But the Hrrr keeps playing catch up on surface temps... amounts jumped from .13-.15 on the last run to .20-.22 this run. Not surprising at all as I laid out a few days ago though... short range models can and do bust too high on temps when you're dealing with a "leftover" cold airmass and insitu wedging with low dew points.
 
I was out a moment ago and there certainly were some "floaty raindrops" falling? I know snow has really not been mentioned, but the NWS did wait until zero hour to issue a WWA so who freaking knows. I hope someone lucks up and at least hears some pingers.
 
Yep HRRR now saying RDU gets a glaze and from 03z to 04z moved the freezing rain line all the way to the wake border and now has a glaze at RDU .. l o l 9A7C744B-FBA0-477F-9B40-FEFA22B1C758.jpeg
 
Jesus new run of the HRRR even colder .. dew points dropped 3-4 degrees from last run in Raleigh for a couple hours from now and temps are at 30 in Raleigh at 11z .. which were above freezing a few hours ago for same time
