  1. LOL ICON is insanely colder. Sleet bomb in piedmont ZR to coast
  2. I’ll say this just as a word of caution since I know everyone’s focused on Wednesday but definitely be mindful of the wind threat tomorrow. It could be very high impact and there are some concerning gusts showing up for many here. It will affect plans and should be taken seriously
  3. My bar for a success with this one is more sleet than freezing rain. Please don’t get me invested in the possibility of snow. Please….
  4. EURO introduces 10” into Wake. Gradient is terrifying. 10 to 2” between falls lake and garner. But holy moly what a leap!
  5. GEFS came in colder. The trend continues. Slightly south by maybe a hair. Definitely drier in NW areas
  6. Warm nose for RDU is significantly smaller than previous runs
  7. I lived in DC between 2004-2008 and I cannot remember the year but it was late winter and we were forecast to get a crippling ice storm but it ended up being the biggest sleet bomb of my life. Maybe 5-6” of sleet with a little ZR. I remember the piles next to roofs were like 2’+ deep and it lasted in the shade almost until April. Was literally like a glacier, it could not be shoveled just chisled
  8. I wasn’t even a thought at that point haha. I was born in ‘89
  9. I think if we’re looking at trends this far out pretty much every model has trended to a more intense cold dome north of us. How often does DC get a HECS with foot+ totals and temps around 20? This is not normal stuff here at least at the surface. In my time tracking I cannot remember many coastals where DC sat in the low 20s. Same goes for Richmond through western Virginia. I mean this is rare to get an airmass like this to align with a powerful coastal
  10. ICON explodes into a MA special and buries DC-East in 20+ inches
  11. Surface about the same but mid levels a tad bit better for I-85
  12. NWS is all in on tomorrow being a very significant damaging wind event. Widespread power outages expected. Man that would suck to lose power tomorrow and then get hit with a (potentially) devastating ice storm Wednesday
  13. I think people are overlooking tomorrow’s wind event and, in honesty, it crept up on me. Hi res models are spitting out widespread 50+ mph gusts and some gusts up near 70 mph!!! This is after most areas have seen 3+” of rain after tonight’s rainfall. That should be very saturated soil especially in February
  14. High wind warning issued for central/NE NC tomorrow. Gusts 50-60 with saturated soils. What could go wrong???
  15. Nonstop tracking all winter lol. Regardless what happens Wednesday/thursday it looks like we’ll at least be tracking through the end of the month
  16. If it’s 24 degrees and raining here I give up.
  17. Though handled differently other models are showing this too. GFS actually really close to another coastal. The 23-25 timeframe needs to be watched for our next storm. I haven’t had time to check the indices but it looks like cold from next weeks storm will stick around long enough to make things interesting. Won’t be a fresh airmass like we are working with Wednesday but it may work. Something to keep our eye on
  18. If I received a 6” glacier my sick self would be as happy as if that was a foot of snow bc it would stay on the ground into march lol
