12z GFS DOES also have precip in NC as early as hour 84...tho its WNC

I wonder what the record for longest stretch of highs in the 30s is for RDU? This is as long a stretch as I can remember since I moved here in 2012

One of the most embarrassing busts I've ever talked about since I started model-watching in 2009.

Again I say: NWS needs to send a team to study this. I'm 0.7 miles from North Hills and it's quiet as a mouse. Not a single flake. I remember last year storm you had twice as much snow as me too, less than a mile away. Totally bizarre.

Oof. The Raleigh-Cary metro population is 1.5M and the Durham-Chapel-Hill population is 610k. Combined we get 2.1M and it's still smaller in land area than CLT metro by OMB (read: denser throughout). And everyone knows the 2 metros connect seamlessly. There are parts of Raleigh that are closer to downtown Durham than they are downtown Raleigh and vice versa. Shared suburbs and employment centers (RTP). When you combine Raleigh, Durham and Cary's (all border each other) population you get 988,000 people over only 318 square miles (1,020,000 at 326 if you add Morrisville) vs Charlotte at 945k with 308 square miles. The CLT MSA and CSA are insanely huge, so it's easy to artificially inflate your population numbers. Lastly, the Triangle is a tech-heavy metro, lots of compsci and lifesci dorks. That will auto-lend itself to more weatherdorks as science people usually enjoy other sciences. Charlotte is just generic banks, insurance, investments, etc.

Yep just started back up for me after about a ~45-60 min lull. It's very light though.

NWS should send a team to study the extreme microclimate that always seems to exist between you and me. I'm ~0.7 miles from North Hills and haven't seen a single flake all morning, all sleet/zr.

And now dry slotted seemingly for a good lil bit. That's fine,I'll just keep drinking my whiskey and playing online poker while I wait for it

Roads are super slick in Raleigh. Pretty much 100% zr for the past hour, quite heavy a few mins ago. It's slowed down a bit but still audible over my game / windows shut. Might actually be sleet mixing in rn given how loud

Let the glazing begin. Raleigh near Wegmans

Sleet restarting in midtown Raleigh

Sleet in midtown Raleigh near Wegmans

Snow returns on radar as far east as Boone NC and as far south as Russelville AL, Holly Springs MS....interesting

Yup. Showed my wife the models earlier in the week when they were showing 16" for RDU, like a dumbass, and she pulled the "i've lived here all my life, 16" isn't going to happen. it will turn into cold rain or ice". I was like NoOoOo BaBe ThE mOdElS hAvE oVeRwHeLmInG aGrEeMenT bAbE she finna be right and aint looked at no kinda gfs or euro or nothin

just obsess over next weekend like the rest of us

Can someone just post maps instead of all this cliff diving??

Time to take a shot of cheap vodka and ride the shortwave lmao

Never good when the cliff dive thread was updated "just now" and the storm thread 20 minutes ago

yeah the discrepancy is absolutely wild. either 3' of snow or no snow lol

Look at the wind chills after....if millions lost power this would be a devastating scenario. Atp, Earth can keep its 34"

Can someone post maps???

Colder aloft too, r/s line went south

GFS with a 1055 high at h66. Holy guac
