True

Agree. Long as a storm with a swath of snow somewhere between Charlotte and DC is there, the fine tuning can take place as we get closer.

Well, we made it above freezing today (36.4) but with the 15-25 mph winds it still was a rough day to be outside lol. Currently 34.2/10.7 at 4:45 pm with W winds at 14 gusting to 22 mph. WC 25/22. Least the sun was out.

That would be a new record for C'ville if it happened. Somewhere around -6 or -7 is current one I believe.

Bottomed out at 15.5 degrees around 3 am, then once again temp started to rise and managed to pull off a non-diurnal temp for what seems like the 10th to 12th time since Christmas, crazy. Currently 21.4/13.0 at 8 am with SW 8 gutsing 22 mph winds.

Yep, ditto here. That stuff lasted OTG FOREVER!

LOL, about as wide a spread as possible between the models. We may get rain, we may get 20 inches of snow or we could get sun and -10 degrees. Perfect.

yes

Noted. lol

Game. Rams to final.

20.4/9.8 at 8:45 pm with NW 11 gusting 18 mph breeze. Chilly. WC feels like 8 to 5 degrees with those combos.

Anytime a 'suppression' is mentioned the further north you are the greater the chance of it happening.

The craziest ratio event I can think of right off the top of my head happened in 2014. Least a greater than 4" event.

Right at 10/11 to 1 here-

Looks like a double barreled system?

A 1, 20 or 39 would 'cure' a lot of the snow angst in this forum. LOL, 20 would give @George BM an automatic win in the snow contest.

Let's see...oh, yeah. 10.7" fell here for that event, most of central/western VA was in the 9-13" range. That opened the front for more fun the next week. I'd GLADLY take a repeat of those 15 days.

Cloudy and 28.9/23.3 at 8:15 am here. A 26.8 low. Few flurries around midnight, not even enough to cover the ground or objects, on to the next.

Sad that it has been over a month since I've posted in here! I guess every penny counts, lol. 11/11 0.1 11/30 0.1 12/02 0.2 (sleet) 12/05 3.8 12/06 1.5 12/08 0.5 12/09 5.1 01/17 0.1 Total 11.4

Had a small band come thru here about 5 am, just enough to measure 0.1" and coat everything. Better than a nada. Currently 28.3/23.0 and cloudy.

Yeah, no snow fell here as the radar returns went overhead, but cloudy and 27.7/8.3 at 2:30 pm isn't gonna make the 37 forecast high bode well for NWS.

Cloudy and 26.9/10.1 at 12:30 pm. If looks counted, it would be snowing right now, sky has THAT look to it, but way too dry to reach the ground.

Currently 14.8/7.0 at 7 am after a 14.4 low. High was 23.5. Awesome pinkish red sunrise this morning with the high cirrus moving in.

I think a lot of all the angst comes down to one thing. Expectations. We watch the pattern, it is good. Something shows up 2 weeks out, awesome. Next run shows 15-20 inches in spots and many getting 7-12, people start buying in. It closes to 10 days, and although one (or even two) models show SOMETHING, it isn't the 'big one' and those expectations start to slid. Then *poof* one model has a snizzlefest, majority go OTS and one is a cutter, chaos. A minor model brings something back at day 4, then a major shows promise, we buy in again. Day two we have cold/dry air as there isn't even a storm anymore. I think the best thing (and what I have decided to do) is watch but don't buy in until day 4 at max, and then only if half the models have SOMETHING showing that appears to have a bit of consistency.
