    Don't you forget about Amazing April and Splendid Spring. April snows will save winter.

    No, but we’ll know on Wednesday. —- On a serious note, this looks like rain chasing the moisture east of the Appalachians, which usually never turns out well. The models do seem to favor a period of snow for the NC Piedmont, though, so we’ll see. Looks like a better storm for N MS/AL/GA.

    My winter checklist is a single flake of snow falling from the sky. I don't think that's going to happen, though. At least I saw snow on the ground when I went skiing, I guess? I actually got to see it snow twice last year (here in Tallahassee with our "historic" dusting in early January and about 1" in Greensboro while visiting in late March). I also saw it snow while I was on a vacation in Scandanavia in May 2017. But this winter I might get shut out.

    At least the DC metro is getting theirs, though, am I right?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I want to say the CMC is sometimes a little cold at the surface in the mid/long-range, so it could be overdoing the ice threat. Or at least that's what I remember from years ago. It might've changed. Of course, other modeling can tend to run too warm in CAD situations.

    I miss snow. At least I saw a few remnant dirty snowpiles from the December storm when I was in Greensboro over Christmas. And now they look to be getting another...

    Merry Christmas. Clipper love. I’m all-in.

    BAN BAN BAN BAN BAN BAN BAN!!!!!!!!! I know what you mean, though...but I'll still take the big snows and all the encompassing hell that goes along to it. Still waiting for my first foot of snow since January 2000. I need to move. Maybe if I move to Charlotte the city will start seeing snow again?

    Yeah, it’s pretty rare to get two 6”ers. You can find a lot of examples of multiple 2-4” storms, but not many multiple 6” storms. 6” storms are “big storms” in NC outside the mountains, so they don’t happen that commonly.

    I think next up is the FL panhandle crusher to surpass the Great Blizzard of 1899 and the 1958 storm.

    I’m pretty sure Cantore is pretty short from other photos/videos I’ve seen of him.
  12. superjames1992
    Remember that ridiculous upper level low in February 2014 that gave the foothills and SW VA a surprise 8”-12”+ of snow (on top of the big snow they had already had)? It wasn’t quite as prolific in Greensboro, but we got a bonus inch from that, too (to bring our storm total to about 8”).
  13. superjames1992
    Looks like some areas in the foothills (edit: I meant Sandhills, oops) accomplished this in 2010-2011 (Boxing Day storm and the January 2011 storm). Also, some areas of the NW Piedmont did so in 2009-2010 (12/29 storm and the 1/30 storm). I suspect several locations accomplished this feat during the winter of 1986-1987.
  14. superjames1992
    There’s going to be some epic snow piles. I remember after January 2000 there was still a massive snow pile in the parking lot at the coliseum well into spring.
  15. superjames1992
    I’m going to be in Greensboro, NC for Christmas. I need this.

    I just looked at GSO's OBS and it looks like they're over 2.3" liquid equivalent so far. No wonder this thing is such a monster. That's an amazing about of moisture. That includes 0.86" in a single hour from 7-8 AM. Could that be right or is that an error? That liquid equivalent seems off the charts for snow in one hour, so it seems a little suspect, but regardless this thing is juiced. Anyways, looks like another case where N/W always wins in the Triad, LOL. Seems like you should pick up a few more inches than GSO-proper, most likely (though that was expected).
  17. superjames1992
    My parents just sent a picture from NE High Point. They didn’t measure, but it looks like more snow than I ever saw in a storm at that house in my time there and looks like a foot or so. Amazing. It’ll be interesting to see what the liquid equivalent ends up being in GSO. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s approaching 2”. Anyways, no snow here. At least it’s warm, I guess, LOL......
  18. superjames1992
    Just talked to my parents in northern High Point, NC (near the GSO airport). They have power, but cable/internet are out.
  19. superjames1992
    I think it seems to have done a decent job still, though? It still generally showed a good storm for GSO, but it seems to have nailed CLT’s sleet/ZR fest. At least the warm nose isn’t over performing this time. Seems like Durham is really doing better than expected, too. Anyways, looks like 10”+ there, which would have been my biggest storm since 2002. Quite possibly 12”+, which would have been the biggest storm I’ve ever experienced. Finally, a storm where the crazy QPF forecasts actually happen! I’ll have to talk to my parents later and see what it looks like there.
  20. superjames1992
    Seems to be doing a little better than I expected in GSO. It will be interesting to see what the airport ends up reporting (close to where I used to live). I’d expect INT to do better than GSO, as well. It seems that the forecasted QPF has turned out to be fairly accurate. My OBS: 64/OV.
  21. superjames1992
    The precip was supposed to have a hard time moving north. The mid levels are pretty dry (fortunately so or else they wouldn’t wet bulb low enough for snow). Things seem to be progressing as expected regarding the precip as far as I can tell. It should start to hammer later tonight.
  22. superjames1992
    Every NAM run for the last three days has been showing a problematic mid-level warm nose. Maybe it’ll be wrong (I don’t think so since it is usually good at sniffing those out), but it’s been pretty consistent. At least the NAM has a lot of QPF to work with. NW NC/SW VA are going to get rocked.

    WebberWeather’s final call, FWIW: https://mobile.twitter.com/webberweather/status/1071584244286308353/photo/1
  24. superjames1992
    Won’t take much of a shift to get the DC metro in the game. Roanoke looks to cash in as usual! The 00z NAM has a brutal warm nose, on first glance. It’s had this all along.

    You’re talking about the January 2011 system. The funny thing about that one was that it was mostly sleet/freezing rain in central NC. https://www.weather.gov/media/gsp/localdat/cases/2011/Snow%26FrzgRain_10 Jan11.pdf
