Wow. We weren’t even close to that

IMO no global did great. EURO AI sniffed the northern track out earlier. We rag the Euro but with the start time pushed to Sunday it jumped all at once to the more northern track 4-5 days out, obviously it was way too warm but overall after it made that jump I felt it led the way. GFS was just horrible. It held on to the more suppressed look the longest and began a painful tick north for the last 3 days. Short range, NAM nailed it. Cannot say enough about how impressive a performance from NAM this was. For this storm, looking like a miller A, I wonder if models will be better given it may be more consolidated than the mess that was the last system

Anyone see official storm totals? I’m estimating maybe 3/4” sleet and 0.15” ZR here but that’s up for debate. Could’ve been less

Probably 15 or 20-1 ratio stuff right there

Front came through and NW wind got gusty. DP dropped from 32.7 to 28.1. Temp sitting at 33.1 wonder if it falls back below freezing for a bit

You’re one of us. Don’t ever let anyone tell you differently

Screw NE, haven’t they already had enough this season???

NAO staying negative and PNA staying positive for foreseeable future. Please let us score. We have been waiting for sustained blocking and western ridging like this for nearly a decade. Southern stream trying to come alive as Nina fades to black. This is not going to be a Nina February torch again

The melt has commenced here. 32.7 our road glacier already looking slushy

Yep. Was not the drought relief we thought we’d get either

In terms of a QPF underperformance, RAH predicted the triangle to get 1.25-1.50” QPF up until go time basically. RDU recorded 0.50” for the entire event

Was going to bed but we are back to moderate freezing drizzle here. 29.8

Sadly, given our early December snow this brought the seasonal snowfall (barely) over 1” here. Yay

Temp heading backwards. Never got close to freezing here in Raleigh. The micro glacier outside is enjoyable

Yall need to get therapy. Why are we putting ourselves through this again?
