  1. Yeah the Euro has the same general look, but seems to just get the energy caught up out west and comes in too late to time the cold
  2. Remarkable consistency from the GFS at this range. Somehow I think we have about as good a chance as we've had all winter with this one. Which on the one hand is remarkable given the date, but on the other hand is to say, regardless of how much snow the 6z GFS and future runs may dump, it's really a long shot. Just keeping ducks on the pond is something!
  3. What a forecasting nightmare. Fun to watch from the outside, with no skin in the game.
  4. RAH agressive for once (when the stakes are low I suppose). Matches up pretty well with the HRRr's depiction (I think it would be cold enough for some stickage in grassy areas)
  5. The HRRR has been trending warmer aloft, but still has a decent period of heavy kitchen sink tomorrow morning. Here is a comparison of the 0z actual sounding to what the HRRR has. Seems to have a good handle on things.
  6. The warm nose is probably the biggest argument against snow in the Piedmont. Kinda hard to predict to what degree the mid-levels will cooperate and whether there is enough low level cold to be sleet if not
  7. Freddy is about to make landfall if it hasn't already. Just East of the city of Quelimane (probably currently just inside the eye)
  8. I made a thread since, it's the only short range threat all winter
  9. Screw it. I am going to will this into existence. Dynamics are actually looking rather impressive at the moment on hires models. Unclear whether the column will be cold enough, but come on now. let's see some flakes people.
  10. This city is pretty close to the center, a very tight core! (Got this on windy)
  11. NWS calling for rain/snow mix Sunday morning. I'm rather agnostic on the matter. But a little white rain would be something at least.
  12. Oh my gosh. I think we made it through a whole winter without it being brought up (or warm temps leading up to an event). That at least is one good thing about this winter!
  13. That's fair. I feel like it's really hard to gauge objectively honestly. Some storms that, for example were showing a major snowstorm for Pittsburgh 5 days out, shifted to Minnesota/northern Wisconsin. In this scenario, it feels like the models got it right, but that's just because we got rain either way. It does seem like the models struggled with temps though. A lot of storms went from showing a decent region of snow in the cold sector of the storm, but this shrunk as it got into the medium range.
  14. Temps in the upper 30s at night time? Moderate rates? Perfect track required? What could go wrong?
  15. I gotta say though, the mountains are certainly still in the game. The 0z EPS and 6z GEFS both have a fairly strong signal around the 17th/18th.
  16. If nothing else, perhaps this season has beaten through our collective thick skulls that 5 day+ op runs are meaningless. At least until December, when collective amnesia sets in and that weenie map crack becomes irresistible again
  17. Seems to me like we keep getting lows that cut to the great lakes, and kick back the arrival of cold and in turn, lead to another bad storm track.
  18. About a 20 degree gradient across Guilford county right now. Winds blowing from the South in Alamance and NNE in Rockingham.
  19. Yeah, hopefully something the models can resolve with a little more lead time. Just two major players on the board!
  20. Looking pretty good, cold+moisture = a chance, even with climo against us
  21. Perhaps a storm threat sooner rather than later?
