Damage in the drizzle. That’ll be my thing to watch during this storm. We don’t want slack rates.

Good luck scouring that wedge. It’s not an in-situ wedge, it’s a mega wedgie on steroids

I guess what’s the old rule though? It’s not the first storm, usually the 2nd?

You know good and well how this next one pans out! Actual suppression this time and a Pensacola winter dream. I don’t make the rules.

I’d have to look back but if I remember right, miller b transfers usually blank areas from Greensboro east, not so much the western half of the state. We’ll be in near constant upslope flow, which is why I think our onset could be late Sat morning.

Ah so here we are again! No lessons learned folks?

Yep. This is going to be a scenario where you’re either seeing sleet under heavy returns or near constant freezing drizzle in between. Also, the lighter the returns, the less the waa works to the ground, so you’re going to lock in closer to 20 with no escape route.

Be careful what you wish for with “less” qpf. Physics say warm air transport over a deep cold wedge = light precip models won’t see and radar might not see either. You might shave a few tenths off as we progress but you’re honestly just creating an environment for more efficient ice accrual.

Precip always always always arrives early

Looking back at the thread it’s comical how naive and stupid we all sounded. Did we really believe a near 1,000 mile long stretch of overrunning was possible? Even more hilarious, every single one of us took the bait on the 1050+ HP.

Gonna put my flag in the sand on something though: moisture is always ahead of schedule. My thoughts are that we get a front end thump earlier on Saturday that gives us 1-2”.

I’m telling yall. Historic Charleston storm coming. It’s the only reasonable way.
