  1. A good bit of discussion happening on the storm2k forum. Freddy is a beast!
  2. Look at that lift right at the dendrite growth zone, lol! Could be a fun little squall line, albeit sub-severe
  3. Actually in Greensboro, 90-91 had two ZR/Sleet events (as well as one period of light snow) and 91-92 had one light zr event (mid February). So this year would be truly unprecedented if no more frozen fell through the end of the winter.
  4. Starting to see a signal for a CAD event around the last week of the month. It's kinda more shocking we haven't had anything close to frozen from CAD this year than that we haven't had any snow. This time of year, cold rain is the more likely outcome though.
  5. Looks like there's going to be a lot of cold air in Canada for once, but nothing to force it South
  6. Any analogs you can think of for this sort of ZR event? I figure there isn't really a chance for this to occur below 1,500 ft or so
  7. Not good trends on the overnight models for anyone east of the mountains. No cold air to speak of. Too far North and too weak.
  8. Yeah, especially since I feel we've seen stronger ULLs get tugged further north/inland (and vice versa). Also the potential is limited because the western Piedmont and northern foothills will likely sit in the dry slot for a while
  9. Thermals are kinda trash, but a nice track for the piedmont that run
  10. This is right under a heavy band in Virginia as the back end rolls through. Would the column cool more than depicted in this case? Probably. But there just needs to be a deeper cold source to make this workable
  11. Really what we need to be tracking (with respect to low elevation snow)is the 1000-500mb 540 thickness line. The ULL is weak, so it never gets cold enough on the Euro, even with the better track compared to the GFS
  12. The Euro looking similar through 54, perhaps a touch south. Not expecting a step towards the stronger GFS solution this run
  13. Makes me wonder how many people have called to whatever gov agency about a weather balloon they spotted
  14. The trough that will become our ULL is currently pushing through New Mexico
  15. The stronger ULL yields much better back side dynamic bands of precip. Small changes made a big difference. I don't think we're done just yet.
  16. GFS largely the same I think. Seems to be a bit more consolidated with the ULL, but mostly noise.
  17. Right now it's looking like the most likely to get a surprise in the lowlands is somewhere in the region from central Alabama, up into northern Georgia and Eastern TN. This is an area that often seems to miss out on the big coastal storms, so that would be a big win for them if it pans out. Still the ongoing caveats about localized banding, dynamics etc. In those areas.
  18. The TT algorithm is suspect to say the least...
  19. I think the backend with the ULL swinging through is the best hope for many. Lately, runs have been showing a dry slot and not enough surface cold, but banding could develop with a stronger ULL.
  20. Meanwhile...the HRRR had us reaching 71 today, which would smash the daily record of 69.
