It makes me so mad that I pay $30 a month for weatherbell and it’s the slowest to release models. SMH

I am a major snow weenie. Loved it since I was a kid.
But, man, I am not looking forward to this next storm. All of this snow on top of all of this ice is going to make travel absolutely impossible for another week. Then one of my heat pumps at home is giving out and I am super stressed over that. Combine a broken heat pump with snow and ice and freezing temperatures, everything is piling up on me and causing extreme anxiety.
Ugh. I wish life were simpler.

Yimmy,
Hope you got some new knickers today!

You get a job at NWS RAH you didn't tell us about, Brick?
Speaking of KRDU, they are taking their time releasing their latest discussion this afternoon. They must be thinking long and hard about what it will contain.
Bingo. RAH don't predict 12-18'' ever.You get a job at NWS RAH you didn't tell us about, Brick?
That is, until now.

I still can't believe it's looking like we're gonna get a solid amount of snow in CAE. I'm just waiting for the rug pull and it doesn't look like that's going to happen!
I honestly kind of can't believe their map. I'm an insufferable weenie and even I don't think I would've put that map out with totals that high today. Makes me think they know something we don't to go that bold that early.Bingo. RAH don't predict 12-18'' ever.
That is, until now.

I hope I haven't jinxed it. I still remember the Dec 2000 miss. An upper low failed to capture the coastal low, leaving many of us without snow. I-95 and east racked up though.I had to do a double-check to make sure I wasn't confusing you with someone else. You are...bullish????
Yet *another* event where Atlanta is on the edge of getting something interesting. Seems to be the theme this year.
Who got them 40:1 maps?

I’m hoping the Canadian has caught onto something. Back in Dec 2017 I think it was, the Canadian was the only one that called for the literal FOOT of snow we got in Paulding County GA…

Once i learned to discount the GFS fantasy runs, I've been more level-headed about winter weather. Never again.
I’ve been burnt befor by an ULL down there!! Watched it flurry for 4 hours with the sun visible through the overcast and get 1/2” , instead of the 4-8” I was supposed to get!

Ok, I try to be realistic and not get too up or down. However, I have in the back of my mind that our energy is going to trend negatively and the precip is going to dwindle down to less than .25” of precip.

Sounds like my experience during this one. I was home in Charlotte on Spring Break and I think they were calling for 2-5 locally. Might be the same storm.
Where’s Brickbot getting his maps from? Asking for a friend!
My reasonable expectation for this storm is 19.25” in my backyard with turkey feathers flying. I expect no less.
Not really going out on a limb here...but nobody getting 12-18" west of 95...maybe the immediate coast could push a foot if the coastal can hang on and crank. I think we are in the 3-5" at our best....maybe 2-4".

I would happily take .25" of precip...that's 2-3" of snow in very cold temps. That's a homerun for, atleast for Raleigh.
Just got home from work and they are DUMPING salt on these roads
I wish I could but I don't have the met skills to back it up. Hope you get another Feb 2004 though.Ok, I try to be realistic and not get too up or down.

That one was also done in by warm BL temps (above freezing), terrible diurnal timing (daytime in March for a lot of the precip for areas that got the shaft...Sanford area got fortunate with nightime banding as you see in the map), and warm soil temperatures. When you have warm soil temps + sun angle + above freezing BL temps, you really need consistent, heavy rates to overcome that, and March 2010 had uneven precip that wasn't necessarily all that heavy in many places (with exceptions as the map above shows). Give that storm to us with the soil / air temps and diurnal timing progged with this one and everyone would do a lot better and there would be a lot less splotchy accumulations.
We did okay in the Triad (2-4") since we got some additional precip after dark, but even there we had mostly wet roads by morning and just a two-hour delay for Guilford County Schools. Of course, in 2026 they'd probably have canceled school for the rest of the week for that same system.

Brick says only 12-18'' so that's a no go. Maybe could chase to Roxboro though.
