lived in between roxboro and rougemont for 18 years before going off to college. I enjoy the laid backness of that area. But since living closer to a big city for the last 17 years...i couldnt take being that far from civilization again. Do miss the snows though
i was about to come post that the northern areas of the state should be seeing some mixing soon with the 850's being where they are and surface temps diving
comparing the ability to forecast snow correctly in this climate to tornado outbreaks shows just how out of touch you are. Seriously, take your whining about the models to the sanitarium thread. People are in this thread for actual discussion of what the models are showing and the actual storm
im surprised the heavy sanitarium talk gets allowed in this thread. Back when i posted here more regularly years ago, if you talked about busts and what not in this type of thread, you'd get bopped back to the stone age.
i've seen you post this numerous times now. You've been here for over a decade. If you think not trusting the models outside of 24 hours(heck, even closer than that) is something new...then you haven't been paying attention. I couldn't count the number of storms on all my fingers and toes over the past decade that showed a hefty snow only to completely dissipate on the models over the last few days.
Yep, its why i don't give up but also don't get too overhyped with these events anymore. Heck, just last weekend i was supposed to get close to an inch of freezing rain with a dusting to an inch of snow/sleet. Ended up getting around 3 inches of snow/sleet and just a very brief glaze of freezing rain. Won't really know what its going to do until the flakes start falling...or not falling
I mean, its very possible that in 2 days we get a whole lotta nothin. However you can't really say the models are all over the place after what we've seen the last few pages. If anything, they're all saying, more or less, the same exact thing.
pretty much every model run tonight has put 8+ inches in my backyard. However i've been around too long to light the cigar yet. I do like how they are beginning to come to a consensus though
Lived in Union County at the time. Last good snowfall of more than 1-2 inches i've seen in person. Would love those totals in Durham again this weekend.
still freezing rain in north durham....tops of trees are starting to look a little droopy. Hoping this crap ends now.
i take it back...just regular rain it looks like now. Got water draining out of my gutters thats not freezing at all. Yard is going to be a mess
N. Durham, 29 degrees and still just pouring sleet. Id say a good 3 inches of snow/sleet compacted mix. Grass is almost fully covered with only the tips of the highest stalks showing.
still just pouring sleet here in N. Durham. Cracks on my back deck are completely covered. I'd guess somewhere between 2-3 inches of compressed snow/sleet. Alot more than i expected out of this storm. I figured we would be in the rain portion of this event already
Mentioned I thought freezing rain was mixing in earlier here in north Durham, but I think it’s still all sleet here as the trees are completely dry and there’s zero ice accrual anywhere. 26 degrees. Supposed to be a high of 42 today….I’ll be surprised
i THINK some freezing rain mixing in with the sleet now. Was hoping the sleet would hang on longer...now the wait to see if we can keep our power throughout the day
