CentralNC

We had a great first burst, but now in the same hole as Hickory. Sometimes the calvary never arrives.

Same here

Noticed the same thing. I don't think the lull will last to long.

Moderate snow and 28 degrees. Dropped 3 degrees in 45 minutes once it started.

Light snow in Lewisville. 31 degrees

One look at this makes us understand while Raleigh folks are always nervous.

Most definitely.

24 and cloudy.

They all look to be true on this one as well.

Thanks for the update!

Do we need an OBs thread just for this storm or just report Obs in the regular thread for January?

Should be a good call

Good write up by WPC on Heavy Snow discussion https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/discussions/hpcdiscussions.php?disc=qpfhsd

I'm near Winston-Salem and I have no idea either. Well, I have an idea but I would take the under if betting...

What still bugs me is RAH still calling for S or SW winds during the storm. That screams to me WAA which I thibk will cut down snow totals. Hope I'm wrong

Well, we aren't the Middle Atlantic forum, so we got that goin for us.

Correct. We will predominantly be sleet after an hour or 2 of snow i think

Cranky seems to think most of NC will have IP/ZR (start as snow) I tend to agree with him

From RAH for Forsyth Co. I'll soon be 65 and I can count on one hand how many times I've seen anything over a dusting from S or SW winds. Not sure what the deal is there. FRIDAY...Mostly cloudy. A chance of snow in the afternoon. Little or no snow accumulation. Highs in the mid 30s. West winds around 5 mph, becoming southwest around 5 mph in the afternoon. Chance of snow 50 percent. .FRIDAY NIGHT...Snow. A slight chance of freezing rain after midnight. Moderate snow accumulation. Cold. Near steady temperature in the upper 20s. Southwest winds around 5 mph. Chance of precipitation 90 percent. .SATURDAY...Partly sunny. A chance of snow in the morning. Highs in the lower 40s. Chance of snow 40 percent.

Low confidence in issuing WWA vs WSW would be my guess.

Someone is always gonna get screwed

Good question. Every freaking time. This time moisture wanes, next time too warm. Should have trusted the models when they said cold and dry.

Works for me. Hope it holds

Always been that way except maybe 2000 storm

I would think a great deal of virga will be going on at that time. Not sure if model picks up on this or not. Lots of very dry air to overcome.
