wncsnow Posted January 21, 2025 Share Posted January 21, 2025 Think its about time for a break from these forums. Too many people grasp at any solution that shows snow and if someone debates it with evidence they get ridiculed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneWX Posted January 21, 2025 Share Posted January 21, 2025 I just think we all need to step away from the models. People emotionally attaching to each run when the current runs aren’t even on the same planet as what’s verifying on the ground. People are cliff diving over the NAM when it initializes with a quarter of what’s on radar currently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strongwxnc Posted January 21, 2025 Author Share Posted January 21, 2025 Folks do not know how to check ones self. But it does suck to be at 22 degrees at 10 am with a mid level deck of clouds outside and not be getting ready for some decent snow. LOL 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneWX Posted January 21, 2025 Share Posted January 21, 2025 Just some obs: if I’m looking for western NC snow in this orientation and setup, I’d want to see some returns breaking out over central and northern Alabama imo. Sure enough, radar has improved dramatically there. Virga stretching as far north as Chattanooga right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fv3 is back further north and west this run too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have a 3-4 hr window, max, to make the most of the situation. An hour of light snow would likely do some damage though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneWX Posted January 21, 2025 Share Posted January 21, 2025 Based on saturation above our heads, I just get a feeling that the upstate to Charlotte are in for quite a surprise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooneWX Posted January 21, 2025 Share Posted January 21, 2025 I’ve seen 1-2 flakes the last hour. Not even enough to classify it as flurries but the deck is lowering and maybe it’s a sign we’re saturating the atmosphere a bit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn’t great but if you play with the tilt, you can see good returns on tilt 3 and increasing returns on 2. A good sign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilotwx Posted January 21, 2025 Share Posted January 21, 2025 Looks like storm maybe slowing down, if so it may give the western edge a chance for more snow . Also lots of back building long LA coast 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
