Edit.  Some nice cells starting to wander in from the south but as of now it looks like they're going to be juuuuust to the east.

The best!

Well that sent me to my dictionary. I can check off my daily learning requirement for the day.

About as ominous as you will get from GSP this far out...

Not good! Wife and I are leaving Triad to spend weekend with daughter in Greenville. Leaving Saturday morning to go down. Planning to get there between 1 & 2 to try to miss heaviest of rains and storms. Have tickets to play that night. Coming back Sunday following lunch after everything clears out. Hopefully will miss the worst of the storms.

Pick one...any one. I'm sure you'll find something you like. If not, no problem. We'll make something up on the spot.

I'm not sure I can handle another emotional roller coaster.  If it's still there in 5 days I'll get invested.

Edit: Three days BEFORE the storm

Same here! We were forecast to be a high of 32 but we are currently knocking on 40!

Must be a trend then. Went out shopping with the wife in Kville this am and she remarked her iphone temperature forecast was off. Actual temp was quite a few degrees above forecast.

My gawd the cliff diving in the long range thread is off the charts. I have spent the last 30 minutes deleting stuff and there's still a ton left

That's why you're getting paid the big bucks!!! 

Me getting head start on shoveling the predicted show. Getting my picture in early.

Found this FB post by WGHP's Van Denton to be right on!

Why do we have such issues with warm noses? I don’t get it. Like why it can’t it just snow six+ inches for once like it used to back in the old days without all of these mixing issues? And how Atlanta got more snow than I did is absolutely baffling. 

Cause we aren't puppies with cold noses??? . Didn't check my board but looks like we got about an inch of snow then half inch of sleet. No sign of fr. 

We may be done for a while. Watched wxii Lanie Pope who is showing us in an upcoming dry slot for a good while. Just took daughter's dog out and nothing much going on outside weather wise north of Kernersville.

Both cities' NWS radar sites were decommissioned in the 1990s, which contributed to the radar hole/forecasting issues in WNC and Piedmont regions.

There was also a Greensboro NWS radar station decommissioned probably about that time. This caused a lot of problems for the area as we've observed more than our share of tornados lately.

I really wanna know where the ridiculously awful Apple weather app gets their information from because it is saying to expect 4 to 5 inches of snow in southern Wake County in the next 24 hours  

I was thinking the Weather Channel 

Lilj4425 I believe that the floor is yours! 

Corollary for a watched pot never boils is a watched model never pleases.

 Fellow wx weenies, I need some advice. If you were in Savannah with no chance for wintry precip, would you drive 4-5 hours to N Gwinnett county (NE of ATL) on Thu if family or friends offered you a room to stay in for the weekend and enjoy it with them? It is a few miles S of the Mall of GA.

 This could easily be ATL’s biggest winter storm in 11 years and years til the next major one. But I’m worried ATL is going to get mainly ZR. While ice looks pretty and would be exciting to see, heavy ZR could mean long outages/no TV/cold inside and no snow or sleet to look at and walk in. So, it could get miserable. If I knew it were going to be nearly all snow and sleet, it would be an easy decision.

 Weenies, what would you do?

At least >40yrs that I know of.  The Raleigh News and Observer did an article on it around 1980 that I recall.

Seems I recall that there has mostly always been a sharp gradient in the I85 storms in North Carolina, not specific to Raleigh only.

Hmmm I have also noticed a lot of odd behavior by the animals on this board.  
 

BTW.  GSP AFD is a good one.  
 

Again, so true!
