  1. One positive about this storm is the cold air continues to press south as the precip moves west to East across our area. That's why I think NC should stay mostly sleet/snow and the ice threat will be more in SC/GA. That is unless the whole boundary ends up shifting way North, but usually blocking HPs are pretty well modeled in advance. January 2022 was an example of what an amped up solution would look like: snow changing over to a raging sleet storm followed by a small amount of ZR
  2. The Euro precip type map on pivotal is calling this ZR, so just be aware that those freezing rain maps are pretty much completely useless
  3. EPS came slightly south. In a good spot overall, with ice being the primary limiting factor for a higher end event for now.
  4. Coming down steady in S Greensboro but no stickage yet. Thermometer says 36, but usually runs a degree or two warm
  5. Something to keep in mind Tommorow, there will likely be two pushes of moisture, one in the early morning and one early after noon with a dry slot in between. The early afternoon is the more likely period to see snowfall/accumulation so patience will be key.
  6. GFS at 18z (6z run) vs actual. Handling temps well so far, just a little too aggressive with the cold front
  7. Temps running about 3 degrees below forecast so far today. May help Tommorow if that trend can hold
  8. You can see how dynamic lift cools the column on the GFS. A little suspect TBH, but not out of the question
  9. Also colder (then 6z anyway) a bit of a double edged sword, which is why there isn't much upside with this one
  10. Approximate cutoff between what will largely fall as rain vs mostly snow (assuming the NAM's temp profiles are correct) Within the snow zone, a coating to half an inch is possible with a small chance of more if banding develops.
  11. 850 temps at onset favor snow West of 85 and rain East. Doesn't push the cold air East until after most of the moisture has exited. Just something to watch Tommorow morning
  12. This has a the makings of a big surprise for Tidewater VA
  13. Approaching landfall as a Cat 5 Flizzard
  14. The funny part is a band of rain is supposed to roll through here tomorrow
  15. I think he could very well be right, if as usual cold air takes longer than expected to bleed over the mountains. However,I do feel we could overcome with decent rates and get a coating or so as far SE as RAH
  16. I am an optimist at heart but I will believe above normal precip when I see it
  17. It helps that sun angle is still relatively low and ground temps should be fairly cold with how cold it's been.
  18. Third wet non-accumulating snow of the year? At least we do that well
  19. Nah, we need a place to crash out regardless that's not the main thread
