Never seen this much agreement among the weather models for a huge winter storm here.

Are we looking at more snow or more ice for the CLT area? Because if it's the latter....fuck that shit.

Where do you get the models? Like which is which on pivotal

The first model looks more likely. If the wintry mix/rain line doesn’t go through Charlotte, then a model can be disregarded IMO. That rules out the second model here.

Pivotal is the site that had the model runs. Those are the latest GFS and Euro models.

It’s going to be 70 degrees and sunny in Charlotte.

Right now looks like more snow but the farther south you go from Wake the more ice you could get.

Do you remember the weather forums where those guys get crazy into the winter models?

Yeah, I am on a couple. But I got a temp ban on one because the mods there are ridiculous. He got mad because I was copying pics of the model runs on the forum and posting them on another forum, even though anyone can look them up online. Oh, and he is a State fan, so makes sense.

In the last three hours, the default IPhone weather app has downgraded WS's snow amounts on Sunday from 16-20 inches to 16-19...

Saturday is still marked as 1-3 inches.

So...17-23 inches this weekend...looks like I'm using PTO next week for work for at least a day or two.

What's a good one to monitor?

 

[HandsonFire]

Prediction. Cold rain.

Southernwx.com has more people, but that's the one with the mods that take it way too seriously. Americanwx.com id the other. They have a southeast sub forum.

 

[HandsonFire]

I’m a member of both forums but I don’t post much. I used to be like CF chasing storms etc, but too many heartbreaks kind of killed the joy for me. Now I don’t ever believe.

GFS model is running. Here it comes.

 

[CarolinaFever]

Boom!

 

[CarolinaFever]

Huge GFS run.

Looks like there’s a ton of precipitation coming for NC. Question as always will be the temp. Yesterday the forecast apps were calling for absolute bitter cold coming. Now not looking quite so cold, which makes me worry temp will continue trending towards the dreaded winter mix zone. Nobody wants a big ice storm.

 

[ZZLPHeels]

Don’t get too focused on amounts or precip types this far out. Probably won’t have a good idea about either until Thursday.

 

[CFordUNC]

I am super worried about getting an ice storm. I still remember how bad the ice storm in 2002 was when I was in middle school. Want absolutely no part of that.
