The Weather Thread

[ZZLPHeels]

Models have been showing less precip with the heavier precip going to our north and that means less freezing rain. Hope that's what we see happen. We might go from over a foot of snow to a crippling ice storm to not much from what the models were showing 5 days ago. They really do suck when it comes to winter weather here in NC outside 1 or 2 days.

I know they are doing the best they can, but they (they being the TV meteorologists, not the social media hyping backs) really do lose credibility when they start pushing "DANGEROUS STORM IMMINENT, PREPARE NOW" and then nothing happens.

What does to "our north" mean - Virginia or places like the Triad here in NC?

VA. The models show the majority of the precip getting to the NC mountains and cutting north.

Hope you’re right Fever.

It's so much colder than it was 3 hours ago

I was at 37 degrees at 7:00 am and 24 at 10:30.

Snowing in NW WS as of 2:45pm. Very light.

Still hard to tell what is going to happen here in NC. One model has mostly sleet and another has a lot of freezing rain.

Yeah this is driving me crazy. I’ve got a generator. Trying to decide whether to bring our parents to our house with pets or let them ride it out. Will we lose power? Dry slot? SLEET. Who the fuck knows. I’m sick of it and I want it to be over.

Just a little bit of difference in the NAM and HRRR models for freezing rain amounts.

Snow being reported in Cary and sleet in Chapel Hill.

Yep.

That Wulfie knows what he's doing 10 times more than the professionals. Give him all the respect he deserves. He saved lives during Helene. He might be saving lives again.

He is such a good kid and comes from the absolute best family. I talked to him several times this week. Also, the entire family would fit in perfectly on this board politically. I say all that to say hes no average wuffie. His dad is the President of CREE.

The difference between 0.24 ice and 0.62 ice is actually critical/massive.

Sleeting steadily in Clemmons now, starts maybe 20 minutes ago.

 

[Ramrouser]

Atlanta may miss it all together. It’s raining and 40 degrees. People have been gearing up for this since Thursday afternoon.

If it does ice up we’ll lose power within 30 minutes with all of our trees.

Oh, I know. Just showing how far apart they are and how hard it is for the meteorologists to make a call. WRAL said half an inch and more of freezing rain here and the Raleigh National Weather Service says a quarter to half an inch.
