What station do you have?

Bonus band! Snow has resumed here. Maybe I can add to my whopping 0.75” from this morning.

I ended up with 0.75” this morning. It was all at the end. The moral of the story is to trust the NWS forecast 90% of the time. My snow events this season: Jan 8: 1.75” Jan 28: 0.75” Jan 30: 0.25” Feb 7: 0.75” I’m at 3.50” total. I certainly can’t complain, but I’d really like a half a foot all at once soon. P.S. Stop the presses. Snow has resumed, so I might be able to reach an inch. P.P.S. The additional snow just replaced what was melting. Didn’t really add up to much more.

I went from a 33 degree cold rain all night long up until an hour ago to a decent 32 degree snow. Everything is white. This is the forth small snow event of the season. I haven’t measured yet, but it should put me over 3” for this winter. We all still need one big snow before planning our gardens.

Stuck at 33 since before 1:00 AM. Rain finally transitioned to snow.

35.4 with 2/3 rain and 1/3 snow mix.

Guilford and Davidson counties have been issued Winter Weather Advisories at 11:49 AM by RAH. I have no idea why.

Comparing radar returns and station readings, precip rates are obviously influencing temps as would be expected.

Congratulations! What’s your current temp if you don’t mind my asking?

Last several runs of the HRRR have really backed off what it had planned for overnight wintry precip farther northeast.

The jury is still deliberating though. The HRRR has some unfinished work to do through the morning. I’m very skeptical that what’s it showing will verify for points east of Hwy 220 in NC. Highly unlikely.

I went from 47.5 at 7:20 PM to 43.2 at 7:54 PM.

It did this last week. The HRRR is useless outside of half an hour. It just tells you current conditions basically.

My temp increased two degrees within the past half hour from 45.3 to 47.3. Wet bulb is currently 37. Very light precip right now with slight (and unexpected) mixing. Gone on contact of course.

I’ll give a $100 donation to the charity of this subforum’s choice if the 18z HRRR kuchera snowfall map verifies IMBY. Not a chance that happens. Not even close.

Dang. My temp just took off like a rocket this morning.

Last winter sucked, but we didn’t expect a lot day to day either since it was just wet and warm. No real near-misses that deflated us. (Thankfully, I had that one small event on February 20 that kept my string going.). This current winter is even worse in part because it’s been generally colder and we’ve had some decent potential that would eventually collapse. Time and time again, we’ve had the “players on the field” just to have one of our vital players get injured as we were driving for the game-winning touchdown. Several lost opportunities. If we get anything in the coming weeks, it won’t be something we track for a week and half. It’ll be a little something that will pop up at the last second and satiate our appetite for winter weather temporarily until we return again in November to start this futile process all over again.

Morning low today of 24.6 at 6:25 AM. Forecast high of 51 this afternoon. We’ll see.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen models vary so much in my life between run to run, between each other, and with meteorologists’ forecasts. Model A says Whoville will be getting 6” of snow. Model B says Whoville might get 2”. Model A later says 3”. Model B goes to 5” then to 1” on the next run. Your local friendly met says Whoville will get a dusting at best. Model A swings back to 5”. Model B goes offline for a while, but comes back on and says you’ll get 4”. No wait. 0.5”. Whoville might get 0.5”. Whoville ends up getting an inch of sleet.

With the luck we’ve been having, I say we don’t start threads until someone verifies the first half inch of an event. LOL

RAH says my house could get 0.5” Saturday night. RNK says my land in Stokes County (a half hour away) could get 3” to 5” Saturday night. This might be the shortest chase distance on record.

Tennessee can’t keep a coach. Let’s hope they can’t keep a low.

Who wants to start the Winter 2021-2022 Outlook thread?

I waited as long as I could holding out hope, but I’m calling this weekend’s event for the Triad. We’re out. DOA after the 18z NAM. Onward to next weekend and the bitter disappointment it, too, will likely bring.

The 18z NAM hates us and doesn’t want us to prosper and be happy.
