  1. GSP has issued an Ice Storm Warning for my area in Lincoln County (NC Piedmont).
  2. 06z GFS and Euro seemed honed in on the evolution of the storm with GFS still faster. Both show front end snow for NC and then the fun begins. Didn’t check thermals. Got to get to the hospital for storm prep. NAM…IDK what it’s doing.
  3. Lots of below zero readings forecast for western NC.
  4. Absolutely insane cold temps across the Midwest and Northeast this weekend as this storm is occurring. Lots of below zero readings. Been a long time since I’ve seen this kind of cold and it looks locked in for a few weeks.
  5. Wouldn't that cool and moisten the column and potentially give us a better front end thump of snow? I know I'm grasping...
  6. Euro and GFS surface reflections look very similar at 54 with timing and precip types.
  7. I knew this thing would correct back to the SE…oh crap. That’s next weekend.
  8. After this cluster I am not looking at any models for next weekend until next Thursday...BTW, Do you happen to have a snowfall map of next weekend?
  9. Given the alternatives, I would prefer what the GFS is showing for NC. More sleet, less freezing rain.
  10. He's probably taking his talking points from the mets at GSP. I was on a regional call this morning with EM, healthcare, utilities etc and the forecasters at GSP were painting a pretty grim picture for this weekend using words like "memorable storm" and "devastating impacts." They seemed pretty concerned. Maybe after Helene they just want everyone to take the threat serious. We're looking at this as amateurs (except the red tags) but those guys GSP are pros and have to make high stakes forecasts.
  11. NAM with precip on NC's doorstep at 15Z Saturday. That's faster onset.
  12. Just went out a couple of hours ago to get one of my LP tanks filled/exchanged, grab a few groceries, and get some gas. Mission was unsuccessful. If you don’t have it by now, you ain’t gettin it.
  13. Best GFS run in 24 hours. For NC snow on the front, sleet, and then snow on the backend.
  14. Yeah really hoping to see precip work it's away into the Carolinas earlier than what NAM is showing but there are some positives and we are still at the end of the NAM's range and reliability.
  15. Yeah I don’t know what we were thinking. We’re not in Pensacola where they get 8”-10” of all snow.
  16. Go to Best Buy and buy a StarLink! I went and got one yesterday. That way we can still whine.
  17. For much of NC, the GFS would provide some epic sledding. A couple inches of snow, couple inches of sleet, and some freezing rain on top and it ain't going anywhere.
  18. Crazy evlolution of the system on the GFS but definetly a more favorable outcome for NC and SC.
  19. Models handled the thermals on the 2003 PD2 terribly. We were told for 5 days to prepare for an apocalyptic ice storm but had a sleet storm instead.
  20. Overnight trends not good. We’ve gone from January 88 to Presidents Day 2003. I do think the 06z GFS has a better handle on the thermals than the NAM or Euro at 84 hours. Still have a 1051 High in NY. The CADs not being represented well IMO.
  21. Whatever verifies, I have never seen back to back model runs as epic for NC as the GFS runs today. 3 day winter storm. Feb 14 was close but this is nuts.
