Wintry Jan 30-Feb 2 2021 ❄️ Potential

Y’all remember the RDPS had these crazy ice totals for the 12/16/2020 icing event as well. Every system is different, but I’m a bit skeptical of this model after that epic fail.

For NE GA and parts of the upstate, we need to be sure the dew points are low enough to get the temp under 31 or so when the precip starts. many (if not most) times for this area, we really do not know until the event is literally on the door step. 32 is marginal for decent icing so ideally it gets to the upper 20s. a few degrees makes all the difference and the models generally are not that exact (for n g at least)

Cold air this time around is much more in place with DPs in the teens. Plus we are still in the heart of winter so this one has a much better chance to actually perform.
 
I wouldn’t be surprised to see all that Euro and UK snow end up being sleet for most of us. Just keep the ZR away please...
 
Ugh!

Yeah no thanks. Eastern NC hasnt had that much ice in forever and with weakened trees possibly from the hurricane this year that would be devastating. Yall can keep it
 
Damn, supposed to leave cabin in Boone Sunday mid morning, looks like that might be Saturday night now.
 
Looks like the 9 millionth flizzard of the season on the back end with this one If it verifies. It’s honestly incredible how many dusting to half inch events I’ve had this season. Yesterday was the 9th event of at least a dusting so far this winter. Never had a winter with this many events and not get at least a 2 inch plus snow. 19F69CE9-84D1-4A70-ACD5-6B52828E9F87.pngB4DDAB7F-8769-4E98-9D05-9845ADE4994D.png

You are going to nickel and dime your way to half a foot ?
 
Yeah the Canadian Ensembles are way colder. Verbatim it would be a major ice storm in the CAD areas of NC/SC. GSP holds steady at 28-29 degrees for several hours.
 
I think we are starting to see the trend of temps getting colder the closer we get to the event. Dews have definitely gotten much colder out ahead of the storm.
Meh. I'm not buying it until the gfs or icon starts snowing it. Icon has been trending a bit warmer
 
Shouldn't we be paying more attention to the short-range models now? I know we're not in the NAM's accurate range but GFS was also showing 6 inches for RDU and look how that ended up.
 
Do you have the precip type panels for the UKMET? Pivotal doesn't have them. Trying to figure out what's going on down here in the CAD areas. Thanks!
It was hoovering 31-33 across NC during precip at diff locales . But trying to figure out what goes on in between panels is fools gold. Wish ukmet had a ice map like all other globals
 
12z euro is warmer compared to its 0z. LP is over illinois, HP is 4 mb weaker. On to the next runs. It was lot less icy compared to its 0z and 6z runs from what I saw on other site.
 
Here's my preliminary snowfall map for last night's storm

Now that is pain. Not so much for CLT as we knew we were going to get blanked. I just feel for those in the Triad. (Although not too bad because they have done better than the majority of the state, outside the mtns). In the past few years.

Nice so me and Brick both got 3 inches . It’s all gone now . Outside of very shaded areas the snow has left . Looking at a temp map rn you can see the 96 corridor a bit cooler than to the west . Reflects the higher snow total .
