It's the METAR for the airport in Greensboro, kgso.

1/30/2010 2:33:33 PM

Okay, well the P0001 isn't particularly surprising.

1/30/2010 2:35:55 PM

You're speaking in tongues.

1/30/2010 2:56:10 PM

4/004 - Snow Depth on Ground: Total snow on ground even with melting, compression and blowing away
933030 - Water Equivalent of solid precip from the last 6 hours
P0001 - precip from the last hour
60020 - precip from the last six hours.

The 933030 and 60020 should match but they don't.

1/30/2010 3:33:27 PM

Nevermind. No they don't. Disaster averted.

1/30/2010 9:23:45 PM

1/30/2010 11:04:08 PM

1/31/2010 8:24:08 AM

1/31/2010 3:21:36 PM

1/31/2010 5:11:14 PM

Don't know yet, it hasn't been announced.

1/31/2010 5:27:07 PM

they just posted to the homepage, classes before noon cancelled.

1/31/2010 5:27:24 PM

I took the NWS raleigh accumulation totals and compared them to my forecast. I don't have totals from the other states otherwise I would have included them as well:

1/31/2010 6:13:30 PM

my Weather Channel widget keeps flopping between rain and snow for Tuesday

1/31/2010 6:38:59 PM

if the GFS ends up anywhere close to right (unlikely) next weekend will make this one look like childs play.

2/1/2010 12:18:13 PM

^BRING IT ON!!!

btw when did it get down anywhere near 10 degrees last night. i went to bed at 4 and it was still like 26

2/1/2010 1:04:16 PM

Snow was cool when it meant getting out of school. Now, it means missing work and not being able to do anything fun over the weekend. If I could live in a place where it never snowed (or got extremely cold), I probably would.

2/1/2010 1:06:55 PM

my guy says mostly rain with this new system and NO SNOW and barely any freezing rain.


this means we're gonna get pummelled

2/1/2010 1:12:12 PM

Here's a model to the west of us, could end up being interesting:

possible snow Friday/Saturday

2/1/2010 7:29:07 PM

Yea, I'm seeing a potential snow-maker on Friday and Saturday, but I tend to be skeptical.

Anyone want to make an early call (and I know you all do)?

2/2/2010 12:35:34 AM

im calling rain

2/2/2010 12:52:29 AM

THE BLIZZARD OF TWENTY TEN

2/2/2010 7:48:55 AM

snow on my birthday. would be awesome.

2/2/2010 8:21:56 AM

it better rain. i have to fly out on sunday for work.

ps - who schedules a work meeting in NJ the day after the super bowl?

2/2/2010 8:31:19 AM

^the same person who told 2 people in my department they could take vacation the entire week after super bowl and leave me to do their work so i can't take the morning off after super bowl?

2/2/2010 8:36:01 AM

^^I've had scheduled flights during the BCS - NC game. I've also been sent on a trip where I was away during Valentines Day. Not that big a deal, but I really missed seeing tOSU getting beat.

2/2/2010 9:15:28 AM

ha wral showing rain/wintry mix/snow friday and saturday.

2/2/2010 9:35:18 AM

I"m calling rain for the system this weekend. no way we get major winter storms two weekends in a row.

2/2/2010 9:35:47 AM

science!

2/2/2010 10:01:35 AM

If you don't want to be inconvenienced then buy an AWD vehicle and put snow tires (or winter minded all season tires) on it every winter. You won't have a problem getting around.

2/2/2010 4:10:28 PM

Alot has changed in the models since sunday night and monday. The storm looks like crap for us now. Snow/rain mix at best for most.

2/2/2010 9:30:21 PM

^nooooooooooooooooooooo

2/3/2010 8:57:39 AM

btw the map I posted above with the NWS totals was for the last storm and how my forecast in NC compared to what actually fell. It has nothing to do with this weekend.

2/3/2010 4:19:31 PM

yeah this weekend is going to SUCK!!

2/3/2010 5:04:24 PM

Here's what I've got in DC for this weekend:

"A winter storm watch is in effect from Friday morning through Saturday evening. This storm is likely to produce 12 or more inches of snow with a good chance for localized amounts over 20 inches. This storm has the potential to be similar to the Dec. 19 storm."

The Dec. 19 storm dropped two feet of snow on me.

I had a little fun during the last storm:

2/3/2010 7:27:22 PM

People are flipping out here in DC. Latest forecast is 18-26 inches.

From one of the news channels:

Quote :

"It is hard to believe that we're about to see another storm like we saw in December -- usually a once in several year occurrence. But it's real and it's becoming increasingly likely that a historic event is in the cards. If you have any doubts, check out this afternoon's satellite shot showing amazing moisture feeds into what is already a gigantic system. The time is now to make final preparations as we are less than 24 hours out from the start."

Also, this is fun:

2/4/2010 4:58:25 PM

MAN WE SHOULD BE GETTING 18-26"

2/4/2010 5:14:58 PM

no shit!

2/4/2010 5:31:43 PM

Northeast pwnt, stay home. Unfortunately I'm in Philly right now

Any of the weather know-it-alls have any idea when its going to start getting really nasty up here? I was able to change my flight to 3:35pm tomorrow ( it was 8:45pm before) but I'm not too confident about my chances right now.

2/4/2010 5:56:56 PM

^ you're fucked


i'm trying to leave town around 11am tomorrow - and hoping i don't get stuck

2/4/2010 5:58:16 PM
