Do the NHC updates as far as land goes factor in weakening and wind fields being larger?

It's always been that way, a lot of groupthink and pig-piling on unpopular opinions and a few over-sensitive types to boot

I can understand that but I thought this was a majority novice board where people were trying to learn about a hobby.  I get the wishcasting/trolling has no place but I don’t see too much in these times of people in the know teaching.  Just calling others out for not being in the know or others who have knowledge who happen to disagree out.  Oh the interwebs!

What bias

Just seems some can say whatever they want and others disagree and posts vanish!  Maybe I don’t know background?

Why read the main thread when you can look at the sideways Ukie and upside-down Korean in here?

My vertigo won’t take it!

Just trying to learn a little bit!  Seems feelings get hurt when others don’t agree!  Not me personally.  I never understood people who were so excited for destruction and others who insisted no impact.  Hell the NWS doesn’t even know for sure but I’ve read comments here sealed in cement!

The Main thread is getting hard to read.  The bias is strong here.  

Had a good squall line pass through SW Harnett county, have been out of power for about 3 hours.  Heavy rain, tons of lightning and quarter sized hail!

Hoping to get some gust to 50+ mph here tomorrow afternoon, wish I didnt have to work would be a good ride to Nags Head day.... the OBX might flirt with 60+ depending on how cranked up this storm gets....realistically we probably wont do much more than 40-45 this far inland though.

Bet it will be cranking at the bend up by Nags Head!

So if we get a few flurries, is ok to eat yellow snow with all the pollen?

Would be nice to see a few flakes flying.  I’m in southern Cabarrus and if anything some light accum on elevated surfaces. I remember last year we got a few early morning inches that were gone by noon! So anything this late is welcome.

So you’re saying that living in the SE sucks as far as snow/winter weather goes?  I would have never guessed!

Just imagine if you lived up Noth?

I just don’t get it!  Is snow a possibility here, yes!  Is snow a probability here, No!  To all those complaining about the lack of it move to an area where you would get sick of it or stop complaining.  On average we have a better chance annually of a Hurricane than a decent snow. If you live in Southern NC you should know better.  SC you are just in denial or plain crazy!

Learned a lot here this past few weeks and I appreciate it!   90% are weenies, 2% are in the know, 6% have no clue and just mirror others post, the last 2% just have common sense!

Live by it and die by it!

I think that was Lilj wasn’t it?  He’s got the blue man avatar I believe. 

Yes that’s who it was.  Thanks.

I understand that down ur way,

U don't get a lot of action when it comes to winter weather but I don't think u want to jinx this either.

There's plenty of time to get a thread.

Let's get some type of general consensus before starting a thread.

I'd say within day 4 or 5 with more model consensus.

Lord know we need to get Mack & No snow for you some snow this year.

They have been more antagonistic & pessimistic than usual.

 

We live in an area that has a good snow every 50-11 years.  No surprises there! Want snow yearly- move!

Actually it was me if you are talking about the Dec. 9th event... Go look at who started it under the thread heading

No Sir I meant the Jan 2018 thread! No disrespect intended!

Didn’t have time to look at the 6z but does the western -NAO still hold?

If the models hold serve through 18z, I'm starting the thread

Please No!  Every thread you start = zilch for me! LOL.   Not sure who the guy was last year that started an early thread that paid off but you Sir are not him!

Breakout the pre-emergent.

I already sowed based on the reliable info in here based on model to model runs!

Often times, cold air masses are proceeded by a strong front and the day before is characterized by a strong southerly flow moving CCW around the low bringing in warm air.  

Thanks,  just read up on thermal ridges!

That would be a quick turnaround with a forecast high of 60 on Saturday!

On the Cabarrus/ Union line.  Got heavy snow from midnight to 130 or so, switched back to rain and now heavy sleet.

Geez... The FV3 looks AWESOME.  But the 12z NAM definitely took the air out of the room.  #NAM'd

 

Brad P.’s video this morning says it all to me.  Might not be blockbuster for the weenies but you can’t jump ship model to model.  To be honest I’m hoping for minimal effects. I need to work prior to the old man coming down the chimney!
