J.C. Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 The higher elevations will always be colder and have more fun - just the way it goes. You will drop significantly over the next few hours as the front is still just pushing through your area. It's not as cold as last years, but will be cold- especially with the wind. GSP still at 20, so it's not exactly knocking the bottom out, (big difference from temps just a couple thousand feet up) but it continues to drop pretty steadily. Won't break records with this one, but very nice to see some legitimate cold! Bring on some more!! Let the ice age cometh!!! Indeed! I always keep up with places I have either lived, or spent a tremendous amount of time. One of my childhood best friends moved to Avery County, NC, so I spent many summer months and Christmas vacations up there. January temps below 0 and July days in the 70s made for a nice change from life in Georgia. I was always intrigued with northwest Georgia being so much cooler during situations like today, whereas northeast Georgia was always colder during the CAD events. After living in central South Carolina for four years, I've learned that there is no place that could possibly be warmer than everywhere else all the time. However, temperatures in this area will drop like a rock during calm nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCSNOW Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Wind driven cold bites. Give me 0 with calm winds and you can have 30 with wind. But tonight is brutal. It finds its way through all the layers I don't care how many you have on. Anyway hope the clowns who blew this off get to spend a few minutes outside tonight tomorrow morning in this wind.

metalicwx366 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 38 with winds sustained at 26mph gusting to 39mph. GFS still showing the snow for the FL coast tomorrow. If it can snow in Charleston at 43 like it did earlier, it can snow in FL with upper 30s and lower 40s along with cooler 850s than the ones that caused the snow in Charleston.

Marion_NC_WX Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 10 degrees and a howling wind outside as we speak across Western McDowell County...I was about ready for bed due to an early start to my day on Thursday...but something told me to look at some models one last time and what stood out to me was that the NAM4 is really picking up on a second wave of cold for the So Apps and Upper Southeast that comes through here late in the day on Friday and into Saturday morning... First off, I think the NAM4 is missing out on the temperatures on Friday morning...to me, not enough single digits in the mountains and lower teens east of the Blue Ridge...winds are going to be calm, radiational cooling will be there and there should not be much if any temp inversion in the higher terrain... Friday will finally allow temps in WNC (outside the mtns) to get above freezing and those further away from the mountains into the 40's...but Friday night, the secondary blast comes charging in and its now getting inside the range of the high resolution grid... Saturday 12z I think if I was north of I-20 and SoApps Region, I would be preparing for a secondary blast in this arctic attack... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltadog03 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I agree..I actually think the CMC has the BEST idea for Friday lows and highs. and with temps with the wedge for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmersonGA Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 It was 7 when I checked at 5:30 so it will probably bottom out around 5 or 6. Very impressive despite what some have said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
