Snow

Now, this would suck

So.

I'm flying home from Africa on Friday. Arrive in Newark around 1:30 and scheduled to land in Raleigh around 4:15.

Time to playyyyyy... AM I FUCKED?
 
This model shows W-S getting hit pretty hard. "Greensboro sees 8 inches of snow while places such as Mount Airy and Hickory and Winston Salem see up to 20 inches..."

Doofus and Numbers following the weather is just so perfect. It is the most widely accepted practice that uses modeling and numbers while being wrong over and over and over again.

And I'll go ahead and say that most people's weather knowledge from my experience seems to be more in line with whoever it was that posted last year "it's sunny here today I don't believe that we'll get 9" of snow tomorrow" when there was a storm taking up 1/3 to 1/2 of the entire nation and there was a 0% chance it missed NC than in understanding any sort of models. /endrant

wasn't that the storm that was allegedly going to dump 8-12 inches on charlotte and we ended up getting 1 inch that washed away in rain?

Sometimes I think it'd be fun to just put your head in the sand and be wilfully ignorant though. Seems to be the method chosen by large swaths of the American populous these days.

POPULACE. I thought you were precise.
 
Solid catch there at the end - props to Diggler for taking notes and paying attention.

I have no idea what happened in Charlotte winter-wise over the last couple of years wrt specific snow storms. I don't believe that's the same storm though.

This current front is making its way across the country. Today should see the general path nailed down with just details left to fill in. Seems almost a foregone conclusion that Virginia/Maryland are going to be absolutely hammered. Looks like a relatively sharp cutoff on precipitation on the southern end. I expect it to fill in a little more than some of the models are showing. I'd say Winston still looks good for at least 4" but today I think sites will start putting out initial forecasts.

This is how I know I'm getting old...I'm glad the storm is coming on a Friday into Saturday to minimize the amount of work I have to miss/do from home.
 
Sure but 16-24" of snow would likely bring the city to a halt. Others who live there may disagree. What's the top range Philly can deal with for a big storm?
