Humble beginnings 🙂

@Imagnir @Mirteaaa Tutorial?

@Mirteaaa Just use ammonia and glow

can someone at apple leak the source code so we can recompile for arm

@GMengel You inspired me to get in the car and go east too

Found the snow ❄️

@webberweather Thoughts on Greenville NC?

It's pretty cool how you can make out the split mid-level forcing regime over North Carolina atm in the form of 2 primary bands of heavier snow. One of these bands of snow is currently over the eastern Piedmont of NC & associated with an approaching mid-level cold front from the west. Meanwhile, the other band of snow/sleet to the south near Wilmington & Myrtle Beach is associated with a lifting mid-level warm front. #ncwx

@WXTriad Thinking of heading there, not sure if it’s worth it. FGEN might do numbers but the back edge is sliding east.. idk

@astroV4L Potentially

@WXTriad Hey Sammy is Greenville definitely getting more than rdu?

@astroV4L 1/28 was pretty awesome here, but now that I’m thinking about it, maybe it was 1/28

@wrinkle__intime @TropicalSaiel Oh ok I think they must have adjusted it. Hopefully people get home safe before it really starts coming down, otherwise this is gonna be a big mess for them

@astroV4L @TropicalSaiel nope! orange, durham, granville.... nada on advisories. and NWS is claiming the upper range is under an inch for all these spots... but the radar and live time data is telling a veryyyy different story lol

Burst of snow into Atlanta with an inch likely, even NW trends held it south of the city. Seeing a lot of uptrends with 4-6 inch totals in the eastern carolinas on latest CAMs (RAP, NAM)… Maybe it isn’t unlikely.

@wrinkle__intime @TropicalSaiel No clue what the NWS is thinking w this one. Even Durham doesn’t have a WWA last time I checked

@TropicalSaiel latest RAP has 3-4 for raleigh and 2-3 west of it... to areas that arent even under a winter weather advisory lmao

@Jaspanda_K @GMengel Right over it I think

The sharpest snow accumulation gradient will be right along this line. Boom or doom for the CLT metro...

@webberweather @nick5875 Are the trends good for frontogenesis in wake

@nick5875 The difference between an inch and 3-4” is modest here. Wouldn’t take much of a shift to go from 1” to 3-4” in Wake County

This winter storm in the Carolinas is just like the good ‘ol days, when we really didn’t have a clue what was actually going to happen until the very last second. Historically speaking though, last second north trends like this with overrunning events are mostly undefeated. A lot of folks having to be reminded of this yet again. #ncwx #scwx

@TropicalSaiel Surely this extends cuz it’s looking like we will get some frontogenesis and the DGZ is looking better too

JUST FELL OUT MAAA CHAIRRRR

@GMengel Hopefully that frontogenesis from the NAM stays in place and we get this extended through the triangle 🫡

Map of the day: We are already seeing snow accumulate in the Augusta area. The reason is frontogenesis at 700mb. Lift combined with a saturated DGZ is getting it done early this afternoon. This favorable area will move into the midlands soon.

@nick5875 @WXTriad We’ll be lucky to get 1 at this rate lol

@WXTriad I don’t fully remember. Was in Greenville at the time. Looking back to my old pics we definitely got 6-7” in my neighborhood it was really nice

@WXTriad I mean idk I’m just regurgitating what I read online. I was 12 when that happened

@astroV4L Huh. Maybe it was 1/28

@WXTriad Really, I thought 1/28 was cooked 4 days out but 2-3 days out it came back. I’m in Raleigh

@astroV4L We’ll see. If ur in the heart of the triad (Greensboro) still thinking we see 1” at best , maybe 1.5 if we’re lucky

@WXTriad Euro got fully cooked

@astroV4L I think things are just gonna keep flip flopping. Right now just watching EURO ENS & NBM as GFS/GEFS and some other ones don’t know what the f*ck to do

@TimBuckleyWX @GMengel We still got a decent bit in Cary

Today was the day we really got rid of lingering snow and ice. Why? High dew points. Dew points above freezing cause the snow piles to condense water from the air around them, accelerating the melt.

@TropicalSaiel Is it looking better or worse for the triangle?

Can’t recall seeing this ever down here…. WSSI index extreme impacts chances getting to 20-30% in some areas of the SE. Not likely but highlights big impacts are very possible.

@wrinkle__intime @JustinWx True. Wasn’t there for that tho :(

@astroV4L @JustinWx 2018 was a solid year too — but since then, oof
