I want everyone here to get their snow so dont take this the wrong way, but I never want to see over a foot of snow again. I think 4" is about right. Coat everything, cover the grass, you can walk in it, drive in it, shovel it fairly easily, businesses stay open and it melts quick. The order of magnitude increase in complexity of everything with the limited snow removal resources here in the south is unreal. The ideal winter for me going forward is 3-4 4" inch events with one of them being Christmas morning. A foot is cool if you dont actually have to function for 3-4 days.

I hear ya and share your concern. Power already flickered once tonight. The only positive to the wind was that most of the snow weight blew out of the trees earlier today. If we get a couple tenths of ZR that wind will quickly work against us. Light ZR here in Kvegas / Walkertown.
-
Current conditions in my house are about to be dark if the power keeps flickering. And yes, after 2 hours of scraping my driveway and street today, the snow piles are definitely epic. I have some 4 footers that are 100 yards long! Seriously though, be careful shoveling if you have any medical conditions. That snow is really wet and very heavy.
-
Security cam in stuart is over a foot now and still hammering. 15-16" is within reach. What a widespread event!
-
Here come the school cancellations....obviously. Forsyth is closed tomorrow. My guess would be Friday at the earliest. We wont see plows in the neighborhood until late Wed or Thurs.
-
As impressed as I have been thus far, this would really take the cake. For those out east that got blanked today to walk away with 2-4" tomorrow would be incredible. Any other HiRes models on board with this much additional? I think I saw the HRRR may be bullish over in the Obs thread.
-
Poimen, just woke up. I'm about a mile west of you and wxheels. I've got 5.5" showing on the deck board but I may have lost some. Wind is howling around the house. Love to hear what you find in the yard. FV3 is the new KING!
-
Oh, and VA peeps....its coming in hot! Just checked my security cams in Stuart and it is snowing there too. About 8 miles across the state line.
-
Finally snowing in the heart of the triad. And man oh man, if the radar doesnt look EXACTLY like the FV3 runs I dont know what does. Timing....perfect. Thermal profile.....near perfect. And so far its snowing where it said it would. We'll see tomorrow if the totals match!
-
Yep. I'm just sayin' expectations are high and memories are still a bit raw. Seeing some early flurries in the Triad now so maybe things are about ready to fulfill the multiple Burger Booms we saw this week.
-
Watching CLT piss away all this QPF just trying to drop 5 degrees has me worried for the Triad. If we get to 1am and all I see are posts about mixing, virga and nothing yet, the majority of this board is going to start having flashbacks. Its never easy here......ever. I do feel bad for those in SC and GA that invested heavily and are coming up empty. You need another surprise 6" snow in downtown ATL!
-
Just went outside and the wind is really picking up here in the Triad. Noticeable difference from just a couple hours ago.
-
Amazing the heat island difference. I am 8 miles east of you and have 34/24 and dropping!
-
Wait until it transitions from fascinating to completely psycho! It directly ties to seeing "fatties" ripping down sideways during something called a crushjob.
-
35/25 here in Kvegas....heart of the Triad. Should have no problem bringing down some snow as soon as the precip arrives. Got the scrape blade on the tractor, bring it Old Man Winter!!
-
I'm sure I missed it, so where did you decide to set up shop?
-
Precip is smashing into a brick wall across TN and NC. Any thoughts on whether or not this may end up being our initial SN/IP battle line until later tomorrow as the warm nose starts to creep in? If so, that puts CLT squarely in the ice zone and the rest of the central and NW piedmont all snow for quite a while.
-
So the heavy precip looks to be nearly finished by tomorrow night. Which feature are we looking at to extend this into Monday? Originally I thought it was just a slow system riding up the coast. But after seeing a couple models kick this quickly OTS over night, is there a second low swinging thru? I saw a mention of a double barrel low thru my weary eyes overnight.
-
I really think the wx offices are gonna need to accelerate their WSWs. RAH has a 1am Sunday morning start for the Triad. Seems much much quicker than that on radar. I'd bet we see winter conditions spread across the area by 6pm tomorrow. GFS hinted at it, radar certainly shows it, maybe it nailed the OTS quicker solution!?
-
Be careful, you cant say weenie in here anymore. And you definitely cant draw it into a weather map!
-
as in almost 12 hours of precip compared to timing on globals, no?
-
Any board members out in far western NC or extreme NGA need to wake up and start measuring! Some really early action in store for them with a rather healthy finger of precip. Incredibly long event in store this weekend. Good luck!
-
Then Grit better deliver the BOOM!!
-
There goes my flight out of GSO-CLT Tuesday morning. Time to rebook tomorrow. Anybody posting a PBP on the Euro tonight? Kinda quiet in here right now.
-
Burger showing up for a PBP tonight?
