Tar Heel Snow

I'm just gonna allow myself to enjoy this for a bit before I go back to reality

First GFS weenie run clown map in QUITE some time.

Welp. Back to waiting for the next clown map. I see few on here deceived to even venture on. Lol are we all that burned by last year?

Based on the NAM run, not really looking forward to the GFS this time

This afternoon's runs are my needed dose of seratonin

That makes sense, thanks! I've been trying to wean myself off of the whole "just look at the precip type maps" thing especially that far out because they tell you so little. Especially as I try to learn more about what you can learn from the other maps. But as for my specific question, that's definitely really helpful. And good overall guidance too!

Wasn't sure where to post this (and wanted to hear from folks who are more well-versed in weather in our area), but what's the reason that a system like the one starting over Texas at the beginning of this gif pushes off northeast rather than "digging down" over the SE as I've heard on this forum over the years? What's steering this? the high in Quebec? What would it take to make something like this go favorably for us?

Even at 384 hrs, the heartbreak gradient is still there!

Oh to be a bird flying in the middle of a hurricane!

I'm sorry but this board is my favorite thing. You've got people arguing about small changes to intensity, you've got people arguing about radar, you've got people who are trying to get people to stop arguing, you've got people just making jokes, you've got awesome real analysis, you've got great chances to learn, and you've got people posting about arguments that happened 15 minutes ago because they just don't read what's happened since the last time the page refreshed. Y'all are great. Carry on, and stay safe.

Reading anything about the sun and kooky weather stuff just gives me flashbacks to sun angle posts for winter storms in the SE forum

At least Rutherford traded Jack Johnso—oh wait. Kappy being back is nice though

Finally starting to stick to some mulch, cars, and roofs.

Has been snowing harder here at UNC for the past 10 minutes or so, nothing sticking yet. Visibility down for sure.

Through moderate size flakes I just saw someone’s car get towed. That’s...just cruel

Some extremely light rain mixing in here now, just enough to maybe wash away brine lol

Light snow in Chapel Hill, no mix

RadarScope

Still waiting for precip on campus here in Chapel Hill

but also

Start of the lower-res NAM is looking waaaaarm bc of course

What exactly is the ferrier snow equivalent? How is it different than kuchera?

I’m getting biiiig Jan ’17 vibes

We really need an eyeroll reaction for this board lol
