Snow

The severity of a single inch of snow in the Triad?

WSFC has already closed for it. Guilford is getting antsy.

So you did take the snow totals literally. Like I said, the track is still up for debate. Other models have the storm coming more south by 100 miles.

Starting to sound like this will be an event for Virginia and Maryland, not so much NC.

No it isn't.

While it's true that VA will likely end up with the explosive snows, the northern half of NC is still very much expecting some heavy wet snow. A few inches is likely at the moment, but the models are still working it out. South trend has already started today on recent runs of the EURO and NAM.

Just going off this dude, who usually seems to know what's going on:

"It look like the area with the best chance of a significant snowfall right now could be central/eastern Va, DC, Maryland, and the southern Delmarva. Across North Carolina, as it stands now, we could see rain changing to snow from west to east during the morning hours on Wednesday with perhaps some light accumulations. Wednesday will likely be a wintry day with snow showers perhaps scattered around the state on the back side of this storm system."

That may very well end up being true. However, 3 days out with so much model uncertainty and such minimal margins of error, I don't think anyone is shutting down possibilities anywhere. The national weather service sure isn't/

No snow this year. Boo-hoo.

This storm looks like it's about to go HAM on the Richmond/DC area.

Crap, on the 12+ line

0z NAM pulled it south even further.

I hope it comes early enough that workplaces and schools as closed and people aren't having to risk it driving to work.

At this point it looks unlikely that NC will see much of anything but rain. low will just track to our north a hair out of the range for snow here.

Shits about to get real around here next wednesday. Holy goodness.

WHY DO YOU LIE?

Ha. 100 miles north will get hammered. Crazy hard to predict the track. You can see just how close it is turning out to be. This is the North American Model's snow output from overnight:

Here is the European model:

Drew, anything new to report on the noon models? Shifting back south or still tracking north?

Booo.

FINALLY

So... we're not going to all die?

That's a relief.

I can't think of any posters that live in the western part of Virginia, far west from the DC suburbs. They should be ready for a crapton of snow.
