    How things play out between NW Guilford and SE Guilford could be night and day different. They provide a little more detail in my part of town.

    That’s a nightmare scenario for the Triad. Crippling ice like that would set us back a week. Why do these storms hit right when Van Denton has the weekend off at Fox 8? Denton and East are the only local mets I trust. Kate Garner downplays everything until it’s too late to act. Remember how she said that Hurricane Michael wouldn’t be a problem for us? I didn’t have power for three days.

    I’m used to RAH’s forecasts for my area. ”Chance of rain, freezing rain, sleet, or snow at some point today. Expect accumulations anywhere between zero and 8” of frozen precipitation. Highs anticipated to reach anywhere between 28 and 50.”
  4. magpiemaniac
    RAH stills gives us a little hope for something. ZR is my fear though.
  5. magpiemaniac
    I don’t know. I guess it depends what you mean by good, but the Triad and NW Piedmont outside the mountains tend to reel in at least two to three decent snow events each season.
  6. 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.

    Light freezing rain on top of 12” of snow and 30F in GSO. I took a short drive in the truck and the roads are pretty bad. (Obviously.) Neighborhood streets are impassable for most vehicles and main roads are rough. Only one lane each direction on Friendly and still slick after plowing. High snow banks from the plows leading onto neighborhood streets.

    A winter wonderland of 27F and 8” of all snow so far in Greensboro. Coming down to beat the band right now.
  10. magpiemaniac
    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?
  14. magpiemaniac
    Or as the rest of us call it, the Triad.
  15. magpiemaniac
    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
  20. magpiemaniac
    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.
  21. magpiemaniac
    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.
  22. magpiemaniac
    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.
  23. magpiemaniac
    RAH always seems to be playing catch-up with GSP and RNK.

    A pessimist is never disappointed.

    It took Duke Energy over thirty hours of “assessing damage” to come up with a power restoration estimate of Tuesday, October 16 at 11:45 PM. I feel sorry for my generator, but it’s a Honda and can probably manage.
