GFS ain't bad for folks east

Yep jacksonville, Washington, and towns towards the Crystal Coast will get the 2-4" from the low.

The models being awful 48 hours out and making such a dramatic change in 12 hours takes the fun out of it. I guess you're not a aports fan and never vent about your teams when they suck,  too. 

You have been this way for a long time here. Its just weather. If it happens good, if it doesnt, life goes on.  Get a grip on reality

From Kat Campbell at WRAL:  WHAT. A. NIGHT. Starting today at 4 PM we mentioned what was new was a slight shift east in the models. This was good news for most because it meant more snow and less ice but it would lower totals in our western counties. That trend has continued but in a more dramatic fashion this evening.

The American and high resolution models shifted the low pressure far enough east to cut areas near Raleigh north and west entirely out of the winter storm on Friday (though still wintry precipitation with some accumulation Thursday evening and night). The European model and its ensembles does not do this and holds on to our original thinking.

It's important that we start addressing these major changes and trends tonight but we aren't tanking snowfall to 0 yet for the following reasons:

-The European model has been doing far better with this system since day 1 and the ensembles didn't budge either

-This dramatic change happened on the mid-runs of models which do not feed as much data into them (no weather balloons) as the main runs...if this trend continues overnight on those then it more concerning

-We will still see impactful winter weather and accumulations on Thursday night (including the Triangle) and parts of our viewing area will still see a major winter storm Friday

-Models have a track record of shifting lows NW as we get closer to the events during the winter months

 

Major winter storm in the Triangle?  What is she looking at? Maybe for Elizabeth City.

@wncsnow @buckeyefan1 thank you both for your kind words! I just emailed Mississippi State about what I would be required to do as a new/old student. We shall see!

Go for it!!!! I was forced to change careers in 2010 after being a regional sales mgr in the mid atlantic and new england for different beverage companies.  I was burned out when I was let go in 2009, we moved to DC and I entered the aviation industry and absolutely love it.   Im so glad Im not in the bev industry anymore but doing something I immensley enjoy every day. I turned 40 when I changed my career wholly. 

You can do this. Go for it

The NAM looks good to me, Ill take it

I hate S va and western NC. They have no idea how living the the Sandhills is. 

But you should realize by now that  it is tough to get a good snow in your area. It is rare for a good size storm in the hills there.

Or the SC lowcountry

I wouldnt expect any snow if I lived in the low country.  I mean it is pretty far south and it is even more rare to get some snow there. What's your average there .1" per season?

Picked up 1.70” today for a mtd total of 6.53.” Really making our dry fall seem even more distant. High of 37.4 (though this may not be correct as my weather station was coated in ice most of the day) and a low of 25.7 

This must be a dry micro climo here.  Only picked up .67" here

HRRR brings that band through the triangle. A dusting would be a consolation prize 

You know by now that it will bring nothing here. Its just not our time.........................................................................as usual

Didn't some of you nc peeps see about 3" of snow 10 days ago? Yes, I know it melted quickly, but there is no denying it fell from the sky

Definitely wasnt here, I had only a trace

It’s been over 3 years since I had a snow stick to the pavement at my house… And ver 3 years since we’ve seen more than 2.5” of snow. I think us (the Raleigh crowd) have the right to be frustrated when without at doubt the best winter storm opportunity since December 2018 (which even here turned to a rainy mess) decides to turn to rain and 34 degrees

you are spot on bro. It has been a long time since we've had a plowable snow.  Im happy for our friends west and in SC getting a wintry event while we get the liquid rain this time around but yeah I miss the real snow

Can  we take out the named part of this storm. I hate when they name storms, stupid weather channel

@lilj4425 Dont bounce around too much with your stomach full of beer, you wont like the consequences

It's been so nice to be back in the forum! My life kind of changed in 2020 with the birth of my first daughter. Being a dad is very important, so other things took a back seat. Then the pandemic hit with all its uncertainty. Then the supply shortages hit at work and we have been swamped. So, it's been nice to be back forecasting weather once again. I told my wife that I missed it so much, but the break probably helped me gather myself. I am hoping to become more active again.

Congrats on your becoming a Dad. Im sure it is very exciting for you and the Mrs.  Welcome back to the forum too.

Told you guys that Brick starts the thread and he jinxed it. I was spot on for this storm.

Stop grasping at 240 hr maps, total weenieism

Ive been around long enough to know you are the jinx in NC for winter weather

We are doomed with Brick starting this thread. We need someone who has been here all year. BRick is a jinx

So a few hours ago, this happened. 

Yikes,  Was the tree rotted in the bottom there? Sorry about the tree and fence

Well that was a nice fun little event. It snowed hard enough around 10-1030 to get the ground covered here and on plants/trees. It goes down as a win for sure. I wasnt expecting much but a few flurries.  Its all gone of course as it is slightly above freezing. 

So we had to get a new router Saturday since Spectrum blows.  So we got it all set up and it is working fine.  The only issue Im having is the Weather link app on my Iphone is registering what it showing on my panel at home.   Im assuming I need to change the wifi router name since it is a brand new one.  But where in the hell do I do that? Ive search all over Davis weatherlink and the app and no where gives me the chance to connect to my new router.     It is odd since my Davis vanatage Pro 2 connected to it without me doing a thing to it.  Now I know I am pretty dumb with technology but doe anyone have any advice or an idea on how to get it to work on the app on my phone?

Thanks
