Aleksey Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Careful with the GFS....its been a really bad model lately....GFS is too far east with the snow in NE GA. It’s the only model out of every model that far east. Will definitely be more west into GA. GFS is on its own with that thinking and it’s the most inaccurate model of the globals. The consistency of the Euro, CMC, RGEM, ICON I’d bet on before the GFS, but that’s just me. And I’m speaking solely from NE GA, Winder, about 25 miles west of Athens. I think 2-4” is very likely for us on these parts of the forum. . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTP Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 18 minutes ago, wxdawg10 said: Every pulling for trends that contradict one another for their backyard.. That's the nature of snow in the south And unfortunately this is somewhat of a zero-sum game given the wide range of geography in this subforum Hope everyone gets something....nice to see some flakes (kid in me), but tbh this kinda f's up my program development-wise bc of construction delays.....can't rough grade for survey pins, or prep for a slab pour/underslab plumbing (or pour the slab) with snow on the ground, or the subsequent mud after it melts.....plus pushes sub crews out with the backlog.....I would gladly donate whatever we get around CLT to some of the Raleigh/Southside VA peeps- it can snow all it wants to after I get the slabs down and 3 full afternoons above 70F into the cure lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 32 minutes ago, wake4est said: I’m not saying I’m buying the gfs since it’s a poor model and has tended to overdo qpf and snow, but fwiw this shows FAY with one of their biggest snows on record with 12-15” in the area! Wow, that would be crippling. Also, in case this were to somehow verify closely: when was the last times the entire NC got 5”+ from one storm? Not to be forgotten, this gives me ~0.3”, a rare event down here! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to hug the 6Z EURO into Sunday. anyone else look as close up as you can to these maps and try to figure out how you can get another tenth of of inch of snow!!! It's kind of a hobby of mine. Yep, I think my house is right on that line between 12.3" and 12.9". I'm going with 12.9!! Then the next map comes out and it's says 1.5". You go into cliff dive...noooooo Then the next map is saying 5.8" and 6.9". We back baby....we going with 6.9"!!! It's a rollercoaster. I might be bi-polar as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I am starting to have a bad feeling this could be another 1-3 snoozer in Raleigh but we shall see how it plays out. I don't like this feeling right now. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADB83 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Lower outputs today. Objectively for most. If you’re far enough west and south or far enough east you’re probably feeling good. Everyone else is rightfully nervous. I also don’t have a good feeling at the moment . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sakau2007 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 i'm pretty bummed to have 2 weeks+ of below, and in some cases way below average temps and still likely come away with zero snow... or damn close to zero. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpstateSCBud Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 It’s been a while since we’ve tracked a snowstorm like this, but it seems to be following so many of the “rules” I remember. Never want to be in the bullseye 3+days out. Always a west trend. Euro catches on first and GFS caves to it a couple days out. Obviously still a lot to iron out as far as totals, but folks in eastern NC definitely have every reason to be concerned given the trends. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDawg Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Hard to tell at this point what are trends and what are just windshield wiper wobbles. GFS jumped back up but we lost the Candian/RGEM. Gonna be an interesting 24-48 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olafminesaw Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 We are 36-48 hours from the start and the UKMet has half an inch for Raleigh and the GEFS has double digit snowfall. Go figure 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
