"Becoming"? Strength has been highly valued through pretty much all of human history. The extent of the exaltation has varied from time to time and place to place, but I ask you, how much did the Vikings value kindness or empathy? Or the Huns? Or the conquistadors and other European adventurers? Or the Aztecs, or the Atlantic slave traders, or the Comanches...and I could go on and on The truth of course is that none of those groups were monolithic, and they were all made up of varying individuals, some were probably wonderful people, some were assholes, just like today. But the idea that all of a sudden people are obsessed with strength, as if they weren't before, is completely ahistorical.

The sleet killed me . I will enjoy what I got though.

1" of snow/sleet in Wilson. Sleet is killing me. Anyone have any idea of timing of the transition line going SE?

Does anyone know a free site where you can see the CC for KRAH radar?

The sleet is driving me mad!!!!!!!!!! Apparently a lot of people have been farting in Wilson warming the mid levels

Mostly sleet atm. Need the line to collapse SE again.

Or even a light downpour.

Simply beautiful snow in Wilson. 26.2 °F at my PWS. I'm at work trying to restrain the urge to look out the window every 5 seconds.

*Insert Homer Simpson doughnut face*

Flurries in Wilson.

Light snow in Wilson. I wasn't expecting it to start until after lunch.

Nice article!

Good I don't want to be dodging birdshot.

The 12K NAM sucks, I mean it stinks as a model. But it does one thing exceptionally well: it sniffs out a warm nose like a freaking terminator. Based on this and based on the long-joked-about-but-still accurate-maxim, "trust the least snowy model" combined with the maxim that the warm-nose always overperforms: I "officially" predict that the 12K NAM will "win" and RDU south will have little or no snow. I hope I bust horribly and I get a snowball to the face tomorrow.

I suspect they are expecting a last minute NW trend. Which does often happen.

Exactly, that's why Im hugging the 3K NAM!!

Darn it.

Yeah but how bad are the thermals?

It appears we are stuck on a knife's edge between cold enough for mostly snow but too dry vs juicier but too warm aloft for snow.

Having flashbacks to January 2017.

Better regional performance at short lead times is literally the NAM's entire purpose for existing, so if it can't beat the globals in that regard, time to put it out to pasture.

How in the world? I thought central NC's biggest problem is the cold press crushing the moisture?

On behalf of Wilson, I give this run my stamp of approval.

SE weenies have to get up with the sun to tend the soybean seedlings.

Except the NAM...
