NCsandhills Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 really disappointed thatthis winter was pretty much nothing for the sandhills region...thought we had a good chance with this system, but like everything else this winter its going too far north and though there is plenty of moisture, there just isnt enough cold. the local forecast had us at 39/33 with rain 2 days ago - now it has us at 45/37 with 70% chance of rain. oi vey.

According to the NWS, my forecasted high for Sunday is 35F with a 100% chance of rain (low of 32F with rain/snow transitioning to snow showers Monday morning). I must admit that that will be pretty impressive if it verifies. Probably a record low max? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it's true those kinds of temps are impressive for late March, I'm another who feels as though late March should be giving us 70 degree temps etc I'm just sick of cold rain and shivering everytime I get in my car in the morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I will eat my boxers if this is right for my back yard. Just to clarify, Wilkes, so that we have this on record: You think those numbers are too low for your backyard or too high? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAD_Wedge_NC Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Don't look now....but the GFS and the NAM are showing a more southern route with this system. The transfer looks to take place south of the last runs. I would assume they are seeing the block a little better. Still not what we are looking for outside of the mtns, but it is a step in the right direction. Let's see what the Euro has in store for us this afternoon.

WilkesboroDude Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Sleet here earlier. That will change as DP's rise and the dry air leaves. Fun while it lasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Any time a model has the precip stopping at the northern borders in a straight line across Ga. and Ala, I get suspicious, and sure enough the 12z has that same straight line southern end to the precip, but this time it's down around Gainesville for Tues. Come Sun 0z I hope to see it down around Macon Meanwhile, I got .6 and lots of thunder this morning early when it didn't count, but when it was cold enough the other night, I got 3 drops in the guage...that just ain't right.

metalicwx366 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Question. Would 2 minutes of rain followed by 12 hours of snow be considered a rainstorm?If nothing accumulates then yeah.

GaWx Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 Question. Would 2 minutes of rain followed by 12 hours of snow be considered a rainstorm? No, it most certainly isn't considered a jxdama. I thought you knew better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 Big of you to admit you were wrong. Lol. No, burns. Never once in my life have I ever considered 2 minutes of rain followed by 12 hours of snow a jxdama. It is most certainly a snowstorm. I've never wavered. Don't you know what jxdama means for goodness sakes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesboroDude Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 so much for cold rain! Not unusual at all when you have low dew points/dry air...sleet is the initial precip before the main event of cold rain starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
