I will take a fringe job. If all I have to do is drive 30 mins to see a snowflake this winter I will happily do that.
Just a friendly reminder for everyone, you can fly to Boston for less than $200 roundtrip, rent a car for $25 a day, and drive 2 hours north into central New Hampshire where you can find plenty of snow all winter long. Seriously, everyone can do this.
Onset escarpment ice events
Ugh..go away rain. My yard needs a chance to recover. It’s hard for my Zoysia to root in the middle of a giant mud puddle
Lol you already know what it's going to show.
I'd absolutely take a dusting to an inch with a couple hours of snow and be completely ok with calling it a winter.
Well early on the Euro looks like a steaming pile.........
I'm just practicing

Euro PBP preview: Looking a little more amped. Flow not as flat. Should be a better run. Big changes out west. Precip breaking out across AL. Meh. Not going to get it done. Baby steps. Precip a little farther north and a little colder. Still plenty of time. Wait for the ensembles.
How come it won't let me ignore you?
?
Damn. Bringing the funk up in here today. I might be better off lurking to stay out of the RC crosshairs
What really sucks is knowing there is a reasonably high ceiling in this type of setup but seeing models poop out T-1 type stuff
No way in heck I would ever consider doing that. Snow there is so ordinary compared to SE snow. They hardly even shut down for it there. It just wouldn’t be anywhere near the same.
Sorry you got sucked back in but glad to see you posting in the storm thread.... Lol
I'm just screwing around. We know the Euro is going to creep one way or the other...at least that's what it usually does, even though we all want to see a substantial shift.

Sticking to my prediction from yesterday, Wake County northeast into VA with the sweet spot.

It has been waffling back and forth the last two days depending on what time of day the run is. North, no south, just kidding, it's north again.

Woohoo! I know my location is set as Raleigh, but technically, I'm halfway between Wilson and Raleigh so I'm also kinda ENC guy too.

Maybe living on the eastern side of the county will pay off a bit this time around lol....I get at least 1" on pretty much every model now....

Yeah, I'm out for MBY. Wish you guys out east all the best, and this thing turns the corner.
Clearly it’s looking like “make-up March” is inbound !!!

I’m not feeling super confident for snowfall IMBY in Charlotte however it may trend better!
you want to be in the bullseye 84hrs out? if we were i'd be scared to death and telling the mountains and tenn to enjoy their snow.
Exactly. I understand that people are stoked to see there backyard in the bullseye... but we should ALL know better at this juncture. 97% of the time the NW trend will occur. Frankly, if I was anywhere near the bullseye at this moment, my hopes would be getting squashed.

If this were a moisture laden low in the gulf rounding the corner I'd say no. NW trend is real and the cold push/eastern trough is usually overmodeled. However this is not that kind of event for the southern piedmont. It's a very flat flow overrunning setup where I just don't believe the nw trend comes in to play. We're hoping on un-modeled dynamics to blossom precip at the last minute and all modeling to be wrong. I just don't buy it.
I'm more excited about this one than I have been all winter but that's not saying much. With how awful this winter has been for RDU I would honestly be satisfied if we can somehow get a dusting and avoid a measurable snow-free winter.

I feel like at the least we see snow, and probably manage to cover the ground even RDU to the coast.....as for total amounts I would be hesitant to even guess, these setups can have little streaks where it really hammers down surrounded by areas that get little real accumulation....still a general 1ish" event seems almost likely at this point for a lot of central/eastern NC.....
So, pretty close, actually.
The Euro has been pretty steady, though it has inched the precip a little north, if you take the net of the trend over the last 2 days. At this point, unless there is something severely missing from all the models, any widespread distribution of more than an inch or maybe two seems very unlikely. The latest CMC put the nail in that coffin. The flow is too flat...we don't have a strongly consolidated wave, and we don't have much interaction of the energy we do have between the streams. We have to HOPE that the weak energy can orient itself just enough to optimize lift over the area. Looks like a very light event at best, for the majority of spots that get precipitation. That's better than a sharp stick in the eye, if we can manage it.
Why won’t it let me die in peace?

Can Charlotte please have its turn? Raleigh scored big during December 2018 while I got about a quarter of an inch...
I haven't seen more than a light dusting of snow IMBY in 4 years, so I need to get mine.
The individual 12z EPS members are actually sexier than expected.

Sure about that? If you lived in Durham during that event it looks like you were in the bullseye almost.I haven't seen more than a light dusting of snow IMBY in 4 years, so I need to get mine.
I lived in Florida the last three winters.
If I lived here last winter, I'd would've gotten damn near a foot, though.
