I can’t imagine over a foot of this powder plus those winds coming. Monday night could be some crazy conditions we haven’t seen in a long time. Plus the cold and crazy wind chills.

Coworkers looking at me sideways while I laugh like crazy looking at a weather forum

Yeah, that’s the best line so far

If you want to have some fun. Ask AI how big the drifts would be if you had a foot of snow and 30 mph gusts. Go on, don’t wait.

Shorty get down, good Lord
Baby got 'em up open all over town
Strictly biz, she don't play around
Cover much grounds, got game by the pound

If it happens, I’ll have to find someone to blame. Probably @BooneWX

Foothills weather Mets seem certain there's going to be a minimum with less than 3 inches of snow for us up to Mt Airy

Yea several of the regulars keep pointing out concern for McDowell, Burke, Rutherford. This is one I’m keeping low expectations and hope for a major surprise.

Well their justification is that you’ll get downsloped as the meso low pulls away, which is logical, but I think my point is that undersells the meso low. The accumulation will have already happened by then for the most part. As soon as we slack on flow, it’s a downsloping issue all the way to charlotte. It doesn’t discount the thumping that happens before then.

When was the last time the NAM was more correct over the Euro? Not a smart remark but a serious question?

This past weekend storm, it showed a lack in precip when compared to the globals. The actual QPF was a lot closer to what the NAM was showing 24 hrs before the storm than what any of the globals had.

I’ll disagree with that, I got family that lives in Louisville ky and they got nammed big time but the euro won that battle up there

Yeah I think its all perspective. Generally I only look at the NAM 3K for p types and to get a general idea where heaviest precip will be. HRRR looks ok. Nothing special and not like the Euro though. 

[CheoahBald1]

I really do think it does a good job finding a warm nose , but on snow totals yeah been there done that and lost many times lol
