we plan on a drive to Banner Elk or so.
-
I am wondering if there will still be any snow falling up there on Christmas morning. Either way it would be nice to see some on the ground.
-
We plan on coming up Christmas morning if it looks promising.
-
I have seen them outside of NC and once in North Carolina. It was Christmas morning 1999 in Southern Pines/Pinehurst when a surprise inch fell from an ocean effect streamer off of southeastern VA.
-
Outside the mountains, Christmas snow isn't happening.
-
This 30's and rain crap is getting old fast. I feel like we have blown a few opportunities already.
-
Bet on the severe but not the snow for the NC Piedmont. This is a classic cold chasing the moisture scenario and 90% of the time that is a losing proposition. I want snow just as bad as anyone but it is not in the cards.
-
Those totals in southern VT are unbelievable. I can't imagine seeing an additional 10-15 inches on top of what I got in the Pi Day storm when I was in Winooski (my first and only 30 inch event). I miss it terribly. I am likely to zero out down here in a La Nina year.
-
On both the GFS and Euro it is cold chasing the moisture with it primarily being a FROPA. That is the kiss of death for the NC Piedmont. It almost NEVER works out. The GFS tries to develop a surface low but it is barely there.
-
I fully expect to zero out on snow in Raleigh this year so cold for Christmas will have to do.
-
That will be a severe threat within a few days Obviously we have to get out of fantasy range to get excited.
-
It looks like the ZR will bust in most areas outside the mountains and maybe even for most in them.

Ice Time? Dec. 16ish Possible CAD Event
eyewall replied to Tar Heel Snow's topic in Southeastern States
I just don't see those ice amounts verifying when a lot of places will start the event at 31F or so. This airmass marginal and the latent heat process will kill it fairly quickly. -
Well if I was going to chase I would have to go all the way to PA for the max (which is what I want to go for). I also think it would strain my budget right now a bit. I will unfortunately have to enjoy the cold rain down here. I fully expect to zero out in Raleigh this year so I have to find an opportunity somewhere within reason before winter ends.
-
Yeah I am not either. My record single snowfall occurred up there of 30 inches in the Pi Day storm.
-
After living in VT for a few years I need my fix LOL.
-
Yes and probably would park myself at motel.
-
I am deciding between targeting Hagerstown or Hancock in MD perhaps. Chambersburg, PA would be backup if I had to go that far north.
-
I am trying to decide on a chase location. I was thinking Winchester, VA but not sure if that will even be too close to the mix right now. I don't want to have to go all the way to Harrsburg, PA.
-
There isn't any hope for this area at this point so I may go to NOVA.
-
Both the Euro and GFS look like shite for this part of NC, unless you like a little ice and cold rain.
-
Probably ice.
-
Caught a quick burst of snow north of Raleigh. Hope you are getting nailed up there.
-
Caught the snow in Butner, NC then a solid burst near Creedmoor rd and 540 on the north side of Raleigh
-
That is encouraging. it would be nice to see a courtesy flake out this way.
