    Spotted it Tuesday night and posted in Southeast Forum:

    Thank you for showing a Mid-Atlantic view.

    Well said. When I worked at Naval Research and Development (DTNSRDC) in Carderock, Md. we had heavy duty computer power (4 Control Data Corp. mainframes plus one from Burroughs Corp.) The "software people" were the systems analysts who maintained the computers while the actual users (the "programmers,") were scientists and engineers who used FORTRAN's powerful mathematics simply as a tool of their trade.

    Helps to put your location in your profile. I've no idea where "me" is.

    DOS you say? Gracious I haven't heard that mentioned in eons. I learned computer programming (COBOL, FORTRAN, RPG and ASSEMBLY) on an IBM 360 with DOS operating system back in the late 1970s. Well, at least I'd guess you weren't using punch cards and vacuum tape drives in 2009, right?

    Where does this physically reside in the atmosphere? How many thousands of feet up, or what general millibar area?
  7. Silver Meteor
    Don't even get me started on "plausible." Sigh.

    I posted this GFS storm a couple days ago. We're getting three? LOL

    0.51" freezing rain for Greenville, NC ??? PASS THE VAPORS! I thought we'd be saved by our proximity to the coast.

    Thanks for the insight.

    Oh you Yankees, LOL. That Low is forming at Cape Lookout (Morehead City.) Wilmington is the next one down, Cape Fear.

    GFS and EURO with new data. Thank you!

    It would make the ice storm WORSE. I want this whole mess to move north and get the heck out of here. If it comes back south the ice QPF would increase!
  14. Silver Meteor
    Right, right ... the GFS has done such a great job. Let me remind you of yesterday's 12Z run:
  15. Silver Meteor
    From what I've read the recon data shows up on tonight's 00Z runs. As for the euro I've no idea.
  16. Silver Meteor
    Look at the isobars on that sumbitch!

    Hey folks, there's always the Feb 2 storm. What could go wrong?
  18. Silver Meteor
    Small changes upstream may lead to bigger changes downstream. If they accrue over time one ends up with huge fails. Such is the world we live in. Seeing my Eastern N.C. digital snow go up in flames is so routine it's sickening.

    I used to enjoy YouTube weather channels until they became click bait central. Now they are insufferable, I avoid.
  20. Silver Meteor
    Given the GFS's solutions so far this winter I'm surprised anyone has fallen for these outlier runs.
  21. Silver Meteor
    Whew, that's a relief! Remember earlier estimates for ZR south of Virginia were horrific.
  22. Silver Meteor
    1055mb High? Seriously?
  23. Silver Meteor
    Correct. Definitely sleet (at least in central Maryland) with the '96 storm. In Germantown at one period during that heavy snow we had "thunder sleet." That was a spell of winds high enough to sharply bend tall bare trees, frequent lightning (multiple hits per minute at peak,) and raging sleet. Never seen anything like it before or since.
  24. Silver Meteor
    That would be a nightmare not only because of destruction to the power grid but on top of that the extended bitter cold expected following the storm. Whether religious or not I think we can all pray this doesn't happen.

    Son of a gun, I remember that! Was on Skyline Drive in Virginia heading north in my Olds 88 when a freak, violent snowstorm struck. With strong winds and cannon shots of thunder drifts built on the road so quickly I (and everyone else) got stuck. We had to wait for a snow plow to clear the drifts before we could move again. When finally getting down from the mountains saw it had only rained just below us. WILD!
