Leesville Wx Hawk

Not bad.   We may have something cooking soon according to GFS and Canadian 0 Z.

It doesn’t look like much of a threat,but long range interesting.

We need something working for the western Triangle to restore faith in the snow geese.  RAH won’t loosen up until they get a little something.  I kid, I kid.

Are y’all saying this isn’t a lock to happen?

European has big trough next weekend so something may develop given the synoptic set up.

Wow!  I laughed that y’all (Boone) had some rain!  That’s nuts considering that we are talking about winter conditions east.

Let’s move on to the 20th or so now.  We seem to always luck out about 5 miles north east of RDU airport, but not tonight.

This was never a good situation and we got sucked in without good temperatures.  Never a good recipe unless you have a perfect situation.

Are you referring to our Friday night situation Bull City?  I’m worried the precipitation will dry up or be south.  We may get a little surprise front end, but I was looking forward to some ULL enhancement.

10.7” for RDU and basically nothing for south wake. 

Wake County gradient at it’s finest.

Listening to you guys talk about your poor area. I live in Rockingham and would happy to see a flake . You big dogs in Foothills and NE peidmont of NC to share with poor folks down south 

Thanks Grayman.  I never considered myself rich in snow until now.  Hope y’all score somehow!

RDU north gets a little.  Wake county gradient possibly in play.

Eric Webb (Twitter) just posted the 500 mb model trend towards a positive PNA.  Pretty interesting.  It may not mean much until it gets colder in Canada, but still a cool trend.

Great job Grit per normal!  Next thing will be Telejukie making an appearance.

Let’s hope it somehow hits the Bull City.
 

Btw.... good work Grit.  Do you see the Pacific relaxing in about 11-15 days and the -NAO still persisting or will everyone be on the whining thread before long?

I hope you’re right but we don’t have anything brewing and Canada  is not looking cold in the short term.  Hopefully the telecommunications will eventually win out for all of us.  
 

There is definitely a huge Wake county gradient so it does matter where you live.  I’m on the Wake/Durham county line so I luck out more often than not.

Let’s just enjoy this fantasy for the moment.

So not even a flurry here north of RDU?  I wouldn’t be shocked if that happens.  

Not official but took measures about 7pm and saw we got more.  Not bad considering melting!  Basically KRDU plus a bit here in the snow belt region just N of RDU and there is a difference as you already know.

It seems we get a bit more enhancement when storms start to amp a bit off the coast which throws more moisture back into colder air and slows the western edge (back edge) down for a bit and sometimes retrogrades for an hour or 2, not much sometimes, but definitely noticeable other times which makes a big difference (again part of the Wake county gradient equation).  The pivot is how we score more and part of the northern Wake advantage imho because we are cold enough to take advantage with perhaps a small degree of orographic lifting  enhancement in the far NW side of the county.  

Just a to let y'all know  I KNEW there was a HUGE Wake County gradient and insisted that we live in the most NW part of Wake county possible and we are a good gap wedge from Durham county (better schools in Wake but I digress).  My wife was good and so am I.  At the end of the day if you're a snow lover, MAKE sure that you live where you get snow!  It's a must for us snow geese.  Otherwise, it will frustrate you to no end.  I had to go to a place that we had sledding every year and could enjoy it.  There is a HUGE difference folks and it is real, at least for now.

That would freak all of us out but I don’t see it.

First time post!  I've got about 3.4" about 4 miles north of RDU.  Still spiting snow.  Interestingly I did see an uptick in flake size about 2 hours ago when the LP was beginning to develop and the pivot was occurring.  Snow geese are fed for now!!  RDU officially with 3" so that makes sense.  Kudos to the NAM on this one.  Not sure but I'd imagine the snow totals would have been close if not for melting.
