Upstate Tiger Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 The 3/1/1980 storm was a bit of a disappointment in the upstate. Friday the 29th was sunny and temp climbed to 60. NWS issued a WSW that afternoon and forecast of temp falling to 30 by morning and remaining steady or falling through Saturday, with 8”-10” of snow. The temp was at 30 at daybreak and did drop through the day. But a warm nose kept the upstate sleet all day. We accumulated a couple inches of sleet. Every time it transitioned to snow and we thought the changeover had occurred, it would go back to sleet. We were slightly saved by a ULL that night that gave us a quick 2”-3”. So not a total bust. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

March 1st is also a tricky time to snow in the South. Yes it can, but the sun angle is STRONG by then so any BL problems are amplified. Not as much the case late Jan.

KrummWx Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I wonder what the record for longest stretch of highs in the 30s is for RDU? This is as long a stretch as I can remember since I moved here in 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC DataDude Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 1 hour ago, StantonParkHoya said: Correct. Down East NC has a larger one-time snowstorm total than Toronto, Ontario. I so remember that storm. My dad and I made a 7' snowman. LOL Had 11' snow drifts in Greenville, NC. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WXNewton Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Looking back at the trend of the 12z GFS, I expect it to look pretty good at 18z with one more tick back to the west and closing off sooner. We will soon see! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, gotta focus on the big picture pieces. All the pieces are on the board,just need to nail down phasing/timing of all the energy. Will be a few more days of model mayhem before we can start focusing on the details 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowncanes Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 AIGFS way south with the low. Doesn’t phase early enough and slides south. Still a little QPF but mostly light stuff from the northern stream energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
