Tar Heel Snow

I'm not even disappointed in the fairly long possibility of snow falling apart; more so that the signs were pointing to having at least some signals to track in the next couple of weeks. I suppose we'll have to wait a little while before we get any hot threads! EDIT: The past two winter finals seasons I've been able to procrastinate studying by checking the forums; I was counting on that again!

North south gradient so tight I’m glad I live on north campus lol

Let's hope we have a similar story. Thanks for the insight!

Seems about the same for south Orange County.

This. The run is not good. And is s serious red flag. But I want to wait for another few runs before I start calling off hope for my area and in general.

12z Fv3 finished out...will the 18z run at all delayed or will it be skipped?

The western triangle (I.e. Durham and chapel hill) are still really looking like the dividing line. Gonna be close as of now. Still a long way to go.

My word this western triangle cutoff is brutal right now. Glad I'm not home in Raleigh for winter break yet...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Guess we'll just have to keep watching.

I'm just glad we're not in NAM range yet. I need to have a somewhat productive week.

This always happens. Starts off as not much, then gradually builds enough to get our hopes up reasonably for something bigger, until 24-48 hours out, something pops and makes it all come crashing down for some reason.

it's posted a page or two ago on this thread. 09.

oh don't you worry. raleigh never fails at failing at snow.

I'd feel better if we'd at least gotten some flurries by now...I'm impatient lol

The weather gods are crying with laughter. EDIT: this is an improvement over the last run, but jeez.

How is it physically possible for this to happen lol. I know we're only at the very beginning of this event, but like, this has to be deliberate, right?

Lol at the 12km NAM with the mobile snow bubble.

lol trends only happen if they work against you.

Officially at the acceptance stage. Good luck to all. It’ll come. One of these days it’ll come.

Honestly, you just have to laugh at this point.

We truly are the Cleveland Browns of winter.

Absolutely. Enough to pick up off the ground is fine by me, one of these days we'll hopefully run into something more! Good look to you from North Raleigh to SE Wake.

Correct. I completely understand it has to be annoying to see all the complaining and "Oh woe is me" posts from RDU people, especially for those that live in areas that are rarely in the game. Unfortunately (I guess), it's a high population area and there will be more of us than not. Also, it's not so much that we don't get anything as it is that we get so little when shown to get so much. RDU is usually in a good range in early stage forecasts to get decent winter weather events, but either the storm track changes, or there's some crazy unforeseen issue that spoils the fun at the last second (i.e. warm nose last Jan/this Dec, dry slotting today and tomorrow). Another thing is, yes, it's amazing watching those who do live in those "rarely in the game" areas get their big snows. It's awesome that more people get in on the fun! But you have to understand that it's gonna sting a little when we should live in a decent area and constantly get disappointed. First world problems, and things could certainly be worse than they are, but there's not malicious intent or resentment, just frustration at how things always seem to turn out. That's what happens with southern snow! We just recently have seemed to get the short end of the stick.
