00z GFS came in a lot wetter for SE VA this run

A few of the others did too, will be interesting to see if anyone in our area squeezes out more than a dusting.

I’ll trade about 20 of my 90+ degree days for some 70’s with someone. Anyone? 

Yeah, I'm good to part with the week or two of 97+ early August weather.

20 days to met spring. Less than 3 weeks.

My rose bushes have started sprouting their leaves. Talk about jumping the gun just a tad.

Sharing thoughts from this afternoon from Wakefield (covers NE NC/S-E VA).

Yeah, that northern piece of energy is still between Russia and Alaska

Yup, not a whole lot of observation stations up there to feed the super computers with.

For me this is unprecedented as to what is occurring, specifically with the GFS. I mean not even close with precip. All the probs have been hiked up to 80-90% up this way and the temp is still sitting at 23. 

We had hours of snow flurries at 38 degrees yesterday just across the border from Chesapeake, VA (and reports in Hampton Roads) with a coastal trough that none of the solutions called for precip. NWS AKQ was just a surprised as I was. Interesting stuff.

The King has Brought the V-Day event back for this upcoming Weekend 

GFS has a look on this too albeit not as far NW from the coast.

Very light flurries here at the moment.

Good to see some long range activity again. Definitely don’t see a torch incoming either. Those bemoaning the fact we’re in February need to stop, yes it’s trending warmer and yes the Sun angle is beginning to become a problem but the fact there is more warm air available means that we have the potential for stronger storms. The battle between warm and cold is literally what fuels some of our most famous late winter storms so there being more warmth available is not necessarily a bad thing. Complaining about snow not sticking around is foolish, we live in the south my 3” of snow in mid January evaporated in 2 days despite the cold temps and low sun angle. The big March storm in the upstate in 2009 had snow on the ground in shaded spots for 7-8 days after the event in Clemson. Most of the forum has over 50% climo and some are over climo with a month of prime winter left. Usually we joke about fantastic February saving us when we have nothing at this point then get an inch or two at the end of the month or early March. If that happens most will hit climo this year, it’s not like many average 10” of snow here. Great January and hopefully we can pull a big storm in a big storm month with a half decent look to the pattern 

Completely agree, still plenty of time to pull some more. We've had a few our here on the coast as late as early April, though obviously uncommon.

GSP says the GFS model showing cold and snow is an outlier.  Wasn't it the GFS that has been most dependable this winter?  GSP says even though we'll have to watch the Saturday Sunday time frame.

AKQ said the same thing, I think what is important to remember is that it is the current outlier, and we are still a ways away.

I'll certainly take another coastal low or slider in in Hampton Roads! 

Just hope the eventual low center doesn't hug the beach or we won't have the temperature profile.

1.3" here in far NE NC. 

32 with light snow, perhaps 1/2-3/4" in the grass. Looks like deformation band starting to set up just west of Hampton Roads down to the state line.

Wow dare I say heavy snow in gso atm 

That's awesome, good radar trends out there.

Dang, hopefully with some flakes flying you'll get that induced temperature drop. We were stuck at 33 for nearly 2 hours of light snow before it finally dropped to 32.

How are the Raleigh folks holding out? nice blob showing on the returns from the last hour or so...

Ripping pretty good in Va Beach now - 32F. Probably about an inch down. Let’s see if we can get this band to pivot and hold in here as the coastal strengthens. 

Back end of this band is approaching pretty quick. Some high res points to more development in an hour or two, will be interesting to see if it happens. We have about a quarter inch down here so far.

Sticking here in Moyock, a dusting so far.

Changed over to snow here at 33

Rain has changed to sleet here

Correct, i think what they were observing is would it track further north and closer to the coast near NC and VA as opposed to ENE

Looking at the upper levels, I would be surprised if it gets much closer than what it is now.
