The “I bring the mojo” Jan 30-Feb 1 potential winter storm
calculus1 replied to lilj4425's topic in Southeastern States
From WPC this afternoon. Note the bold portion. -
WPC thinks it's a slam dunk that we at least have an inch of snowfall by the end of day 3. Not sure I've ever been in the 90% probability swath this far out.

The “I bring the mojo” Jan 30-Feb 1 potential winter storm

What does this mean? The surface low? The upper low? The model snow or QPF output at the surface? I have no idea how to interpret this statement. -
Wow, both those images are quite bullish for our area a full two days out. Fingers crossed...

Umm... the wait is always the same between model release times. It's not longer simply because we have a storm on the horizon. -
2025-2026 Fall/Winter Mountain Thread
calculus1 replied to Buckethead's topic in Southeastern States
Very similar to my driveway here in Hickory. Two inches thick of ice. My son "shoveled" off about a third of it today, and it took him almost 3 hours. My driveway is only 60 feet long, if that. He was using the backside of an ax to pummel the ice into pieces that could then be shoveled off into the yard. School is going to be remote in Catawba County for the rest of the week, I would imagine. And, then, we get to the weekend's event... -
It's looking great here at 3.5 days out, but it's still 3.5 days away. That's a lot of time for changes...

This is our Foothills Forum's dream scenario.

My point-and-click forecast for Saturday is rather funny. Heavy snow alongside partly sunny skies. =)

I think something is wonky. I don’t think IP or ZR are even options with this storm. Currently at my high temp of the day of 36.3 F.

Is Skip Waters the same as @beanskip? He used to post quite regularly on this board. -

I really like the fact that this weekend is compared to the 12/26/2010 analog. If this storm develops anything like that Christmas storm, most all of NC will be most happy. -
It appears 7.8 will be my low this morning. Actually, a bit warmer than I had expected.
-
I have not seen him on this forum in a long time. It's been ten years or more since he last posted, if I recall correctly. He had his own paywall website for a while, and a public FB page, but I don't think those exist anymore either. Sorry.

I ended up barely making it above freezing at 1:34 this afternoon, when we hit 32.1 F IMBY. We have since fallen back down to 26.8 F, at 4:40 PM, under full sun. This is a cold day by Hickory standards. This sleet has staying power, as does the freezing rain. Anything that was shaded from full sun, has not had any melt today. My driveway, is still a solid 1.5+ inches thick of sleet concrete. Schools are already canceled again tomorrow, and Wednesday is looking like a remote learning day.

Perhaps Robert? @wxsouth
-
I think it has a decent chance to meander NW. We have five or so days for that happen. Nothing is written in stone, yet.
-
"Prince Euro." I see what you did there. LOL I continue to regress in temperature. Down to 31.0 F.
-
I made it up to exactly 32.0 F at 10:53 AM, but I have since begun to fall backwards in temperature, which is incredibly odd for this time of day. Now back down to 31.4 F. Regardless, the sun is doing its work on the minimal ice on the trees, and I am sure it is sublimating some of the ice on the ground, but these two inches of sleet may have substantial staying power.

2025-2026 Fall/Winter Mountain Thread
calculus1 replied to Buckethead's topic in Southeastern States
I’m gonna go A-. This storm reminded me of those winters as a kid. The sleet was fantastic! The CAD was amazing! Still in the 20s here. Hardly any glaze, just enough to be pretty, so I never lost power. Sledding was great. Schools will be closed Monday (and probably Tuesday and Wednesday here in Catawba County). Roads are straight up glaciers. This whole next week will be abnormally cold. Loved it! -
Finished with 2 inches of sleet and 5-inch drifts on the front walk where two separate roof sections drain. .
-
This is awesome! I shared a short video in the general obs thread. We are still at 24.6 with IP+. So cool!

Just mega sleetfest here in NE Hickory right now. Crazy awesome! Sleetfest.mp4 -
The line has arrived. All sleet! Heavy sleet!
