Charlotte getting more than us Wake County residents is a real WTF. I’m used to it for the Triad but Charlotte and upstate SC getting more? I’m convinced that we are just cursed when it comes to snow. Just to be clear, nobody has gotten anything yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t remember the last time Wake County wasn’t on the snow/rain line. I always tell our kiddos to not get too excited about snow because I feel awful when we don’t get that much. Our son considers 1” of snow the best thing ever so for the most part he is easy to please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your son finds 1" to be exciting...then be excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solar minimum, Nino and wooley worms all point to this being a better year than we've had in a long time. Keep the faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT1980 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Science sucks! I’m new here and still trying to learn as much as I can. Never seen this much model agreement out to 72+, not saying it hasn’t happened but I haven’t seen it. Models underestimate CAD, models underestimate WAA. Climatology says it won’t happen, all signs point to a storm of the century. Some live and die by each and every model run. I appreciate learning from those who seem to have a better grasp and appreciate those who want a dream IMBY result. Guess it’s down to Sat-Mon. Hopefully we can enjoy it and not see more suffering from good ole Mother Nature this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceagewhereartthou Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 1 hour ago, No snow for you said: I will not let myself buy into the models. They have broken my heart too many times. Yep. I'm afraid the upstate is in for a bunch of cold rain and with a period of mix. CAD s take too long to get here and WAA is too strong. IF THE COLD AIR ISN'T ALREADY IN PLACE UPSTATE GETS SCREWED (unless you're north and east of TR). I really think most of us (upstate) are going to be disappointed by the lack of cold, NAM already backing off too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of whinning from the RDU crowd on the board is CRAZY. I know we all think our own backyard gets left out but they take it to another level. RDU averages more snow than the upstate, despite being a lower elevation and further from the mtns. Wasn't it just last year many of them got a big snow?

Based on the SREF plumes the GFS won't be pretty either so this may become the main board. But maybe we need a sub board about whining about whiners.
