Haha Snow seems to follow you around this year. For us SE of Raleigh and the coastal plains we would love to see the suppression continue for about another 3 days. GEFS seems to be tightening some today

If we actually get the cold the models have been advertising, I think suppression will happen and eastern snow will occur. Again, it's been some time since the Coastal Plain folks (especial south of Rocky Mount) have scored anything.

Yeah definitely not the classic case of a late bloomer. Just for all intensive purposes, at the surface it behaved like one.

If the storm forms which is likely but not certain, and it's as strong as some models indicate in the Gulf I'd say the nw trend is inevitable. Maybe not much, but enough to put is in the game.

Btw 18z GEFS was mountains only for this weekend...

It’s favored the mountains from the beginning, although means have been on a steady downward trend for them as well, but that’s what has made the multitude of eastern solutions from the OP’s more puzzling. I’d expect to at least see an eastern bullseye as well, depicting the potential for that solution.

As an average, you want to be about 250 miles MW of a "miller A" track. if it hugs the coast and is amped up, there will be a swath of heavy snow around that distance. That's just from all the winter storms I have witnessed in the past. In some of the the colder storms, I have seen the snow line much closer to the LP center. That's just a good rule of thumb.

RAH put out a good map that shows what kind of low and track do well for NC.....

I remember going through this the first half of last January. It's a lot to ask relying on a s/w entering in Canada and wanting it to drop in and produce.

Yep. Seems like heights fall in the west at the worst possible time, when we need the ridge to pop.

No way that temp chart verifies.  22 degree difference between Greensboro and Winston-Salem?  No way

I've seen stranger things in Person County.

If you think it's impossible think again.

Hard fetch. I see two important details.

There is a CAD although warm. And that's the artic front.

I would still take the 6z FV3 at face value. It has a small event (1-2") at day 7/8 and then a more significant event at the end of the run. 

Point is, these models don't have a clue. We're seeing big swings in the medium and LR, not just in the finer details but the overall pattern depiction.  

Each 7-8 day threat is going poof or rain! Then the 8-10 day storm, poofs or rains, there’s a pattern, and it sucks for snowlovers!

19, dp 1 @ 930 am. See where we end up at 530 and if its clear enough  to radiate back down before clouds roll in tonight. Raleigh nws has nada for my county. If it stays dry before 9 or 10 am wednesday  good call, if not then watch out. Raleigh has a forecasted high of 52 tommorow at Greensboro. If it stays rainy all day, ill be shocked to see greensboro crack 40 mark,let alone 52 with insitu wedge. Taking the under on tommorows 52.

Yep same old same old it's 7 or 8 days for snow then it's another 7or 8 days for snow then another, we're going to run out of winter if something doesn't pop soon.  I can't believe we've gone the whole month of January and not had a decent storm to follow, or I should say we've had a couple to follow but they go poof.  I would have bet money we would have a good snow storm at least one in January and now it's looking like thru February 8 is not looking good.

GSP is being way too conservative with the freezing rain threat for tonight/wed morning. Not sure what models they are looking at. WWA should be extended down in the upstate. Roads along I85 are going to be a mess and they don't have that included in the advisory.

I don’t know about your backyard, but down here, we are forecast to hit 43 or so today, and GSP says clouds roll in before dark, so almost no radiational cooling will be nil! With light rates, temp won’t wetbulb much, even with DPs in the teens
