lol.......hope I am wrong.   I certainly do not have the technical skill set to weigh in on this particular set up.    But in all of my years here I have never cashed in on a ULL system in downtown Greenville, but i certainly have seen Spartanburg do very well.

3k NAM at 12z crushes CAE  

If this happens, we riot.

[BornAgain13]

Sure have thoroughly enjoyed tracking this with you all. Im definitely happy for the ones who dont normally see much. This is yalls big one possibly. 

I do wonder where that dry slot sets up and why the 3k NAM keeps showing it especially up this way.

[NYweatherguy]

GFS looking good so far.

[lilj4425]

GFS looking really good for western Carolinas through hr33.

In fairness, I think this happens either way.

Upside scenario: mass pileups on Glenwood, cars exploding on Capital Blvd

Downside scenario: AmWX march in Southern Wake to protest the bubble created by the Shearon Harris facility

Still snowing on the coast

 

The hi res models sure look good but at this point its just wait and see, it all depends on where the bands and dry slots set up. Pretty sure with a semi captured low bombing just offshore that more precip rather than less makes the most sense.

That storm was legendary with the lady on the phone and car on fire on the hill lol! Which one was that ? 

[wncsnow]

GFS had a stronger ULL which led to more expansive precip in the Western Carolinas. 

[BornAgain13]

So am I supposed to believe the GFS or the 3K NAM?

Whichever is best for your backyard.

And it pushes a little further north into Virginia giving us a little breathing room up north.

That’s my preferred method. Which is why I’m riding with the ICON from 3 days ago. I just toss all the runs from the other models, including all the ones from the ICON after my favorite run

Inside this range go with the 3km NAM/Euro/RGEM...they're going to handle this better than the GFS.

Impossible forecast up both our ways.. actually snowing pretty decent here current moment however. Maybe it's a good harbinger of things to come!

I remember CHS airport closed for a week back in 2018.  I could not believe there was no snow removal equipment within a reasonable driving distance.  They just waited for it to melt

Not completely true, there was equipment on site but it was limited for sure. Took a long time to get everything cleaned up.

Will short range models start picking up where dry slot will likely be?

[UpstateSCBud]

Question for anyone near upstate sc. When’s the last time we had a significant snow storm where the majority of the snow falls during the day and not at night? Been here 37 years and don’t really recall any. 

[Blacksburg Coach]

snowing here in SWVA, started about two hours ago. Very powdery

Would appreciate anyone posting that image so I can save it (and share it with my friends up north.)

Any idea why the 3k NAM is so different from the 12k?

The Feburary 12th, 2014 snow happened on a Wednesday.  I went to work that morning like everyone else.  It started snowing around 10 or 10:30 AM and then everyone started leaving.  Even though I lived 5 minutes away, it took me 20 minutes to get home.  Some of my co-workers had to abandon their cars and walk home. 

Thankfully, Wake County had already canceled school that day.
