    I’m moving from 3 miles west of downtown GSO to 11 miles north of downtown GSO. Being farther away from the I-40/I-85 battle zone hopefully increases my chances for wintry precip. I can’t complain though. At the old house, I did pretty well most winters. This upcoming season should be interesting. I’m so sick of this humid heat though. Bring on the months ending in BER.

    The ridiculously obvious rule of thumb in NC is those north and/or west of a given location will usually receive more winter accumulation during any given season. Even within a single county. Individual storms might pan out differently, but this rule seems to hold true over an entire winter.
  4. magpiemaniac
    Perhaps. I’ll temper my optimism until Friday. On the bright side, any additional snow we get this season is just gravy.

    Believe it or not, Trevor Lawrence is a freshman which makes this team this team a playoff favorite for the next several years.

    That went UP from 11” to 12” for GSO since this morning’s graphic. I’ll take 8” and call December a success.

    I just finished a bottle of wine. Bring on Snowpocalypse Dec ‘18, but don’t expect my shoveling to be worth a darn.

    Say “I just got NAM’d” one more time.

    I’ve been wondering. If you were to piece together the various call maps from adjacent NWS field offices, would the accumulation projections along their border counties match up fairly well? Has anyone ever seen a 10” call for one county and then 2” in a neighboring county forecasted by another NWS office?

    Or as the rest of us call it, the Triad.

    At this point in the season, I’ll take it.

    Some people want to see the world burn.

    To paraphrase, all who live by the models shall die by the models.

    Not sure how you took that as an overreaction. Just pointing out RAH observations folks might have missed overnight.

    RAH’s uncertainty line has moved west overnight. 4:00 PM graphic on Wednesday 5:00 AM graphic on Thursday

    As long as I can remember, RAH has had difficulty acknowledging that they have forecasting responsibilities for anywhere west of Chapel Hill. If a storm’s not hitting Wake full throttle, they don’t consider it a threat anywhere else.

    I’d cash in my chips for 12” in GSO and get an Uber ride from the casino. No complaining about that in early December.

    The contradictory PBP posts crack me up. Less QPF. No, it’s more. Tad south. No, it’s north. Well, I think it’s the same.

    RAH always seems to be playing catch-up with GSP and RNK.

    A pessimist is never disappointed.

    It’s about a 50 mile shift to the NW since this morning’s 11:00 AM advisory.

    We have no shortage of those on AmericanWX.

    I don’t wish Florence on anyone and hope all avoid the worst, but selfishly IMBY, I’m pleased with the Euro trend. Half a foot of rain is bad enough, but I don’t want any part of two feet coupled with tropical storm force winds. We all love weather and the wonders it brings, but it’s not worth having a couple of huge oak trees on the house.
  24. magpiemaniac
    Oh, no. That means it’ll make landfall in Savannah.

    I’ve been hoping for long shot OTS solution, but that looks increasingly unlikely. This could be a once-in-lifetime event for millions of people in most of NC and much of VA. Prepare now.
