Wagons south? .

*chuckles* I’m in danger meme

I believe there’s an issue with the NAM. Someone pointed this out on the other board, but if you look at soundings, it’s showing freezing rain but not depicting that on surface maps.

I’m not sure about its thermals but the fact that it’s the eventual replacement for the NAM tells me which one I’ll be weighing

NAM has a dry bias. FV3 has a more reasonable surface depiction.

I’m trying to tread carefully here but I think GSP not coming to some agreement this morning and getting warnings hoisted is a blunder. Can’t get too ornery about exactly being 24hrs out or if it should be an ice storm or winter storm warning. It’s all in the wash. The general public doesn’t drill down that hard - missed opportunities to send out warnings while you had their attention waking up.

When I requested the foothills get buried the past year, I was requesting snow, not this.

GSP up on totals for everything this morning. Chat, are we cooked??

My gut says no lulls for us. Models and even real time radar will not pick up the low level moisture getting squeezed out. These “dry” slots aren’t dry and they’re nightmare fuel for the foothills. We’re going to have the most efficient type of ice accretion method pumping in those lulls — freezing drizzle.

HRRR with painfully low dews. Like -10 in the piedmont of Nc.

Because weather apps are based on nothing we in this group value: precedence, analogs, multiple data points and human input. It’s why I hate that any of these apps bother. All it does is mislead the public.

I agree. It’s madness as well having this much access to data. I yearn for the lost days where you had to wait 12 hrs to see a limited amount of models. Information overload. 2 hrs ago everyone was breathing deeper with cams showing more sleet. One mild shift in the gfs an hour later and we can toss the 36 hrs of freezing rain in the 20s it showed. You’re all nuts, but it’s what keeps me coming back.

I don’t know if we’re all looking for an escape route or what, but if you’ve lived in the cad region for any substantial period of time and you think we’re swinging into the teens and will be above freezing Sunday night, hop up, grab a Marlboro red, go outside and smoke for a few minutes and then come back in and comment. Raleigh? Maybe. NE Georgia and the southwest Blue Ridge? Could see it there too. Also, I’m not saying toss globals at this juncture. They don’t become less useful late in the game but we’re now shifting gears to CAMs. Watch trends there. HRRR has sub zero dews and the FV3 is an ice box as well.

That ice forecast is freezing rain accrual. Sleet gets counted as snow accumulation.

Right image. They’re opening a door I’m walking in. Tell me not to. .
