This is instance of a true troll post...its not factually correct. There is major retrograding NAO block seeping cold down the coast, so showing an H5 image of a se ridge due to the RNA is pretty misleading.
I feel like you are referring to a bonafide snow storm....IMHO the notion of a front end inch or two that won't get totally wiped out is pretty plausible.
I agree with your post. And I honestly feel as though you are just someone who genuinely enjoys pleasant weather. I feel like Mike (Forky) just likes to neeedle people endlessly. Bit of a difference...is he doing anything "wrong", per se...no. Being a jerk isn't a crime.
Wilmington spent a lot more time above freezing than I did...it was still like 37 there just prior to dawn, where as I was back below freezing just after midnight
The xmas eve/xmas deal looks a lot like this event to me on guidance...TBH, I would take a repeat. Even if I just grab an inch and then stay relatively cold...take.
I actually underestimated snowfall here a bit measuring on paved walkway. I got an inch of snow/sleet....cf has slipped back through and down to 30.7 and pouring sleet...icing over.
Still snow covered..high was 35.1 before coastal front slipped back through at midnight and it began dropping.
