2013 - Snow No Mo(re)?


I think this map is a pretty good depiction of where the snow will be and won't be by Wed-Thurs. Albeit New England and SE VA will also have snow.

The computers at CIPS agree (picture) as the upcoming storm shows strong similarities (analogous) to Feb 7 2010. I remember it well b/c I lived in Charlottesville, VA at the time. 

Anyways, looks like a chilly rain tomorrow - possibly some T-storms tomorrow night.
A chance the NC Piedmont (read: counties around and north of Rowan) might see a snow shower by Wednesday but that is about it in the Winter Wx Dept. 

Accumulating snow will start near the VA/NC line and points North. 

Snow in the Mid/Northern NC mountains Tue PM - Thursday: should see 12"+ at Mt. Mitchell and other high country areas.

If for some reason the low pressure system decides to form a few hundred miles south of the NC/VA coastline I'll probably blog again. But it won't...

Snowstorm Next Week; Fact or Fiction AccuWeather.com

I've put a link below to a recent video from AccuWx Forecaster Bernie Rayno - he explains the process (calculations and miscalculations) of long range weather models and why they change large scale features and sensible weather forecasts from day to day.

If you watch, he explains in detail that it might, possibly, could, maybe, has happened before, might not though....snow next week.
