My Forecast for Tue-Wed storm

#1 Postby hurricanedude » Mon Feb 16, 2004 3:30 pm

Im not big on maps so I will make this simple

3-5 inches along and north of a Greensboro/Danville/Fluvanna/Ocean City Line

3 inches and less along and north of a Roanoke/Charlottesville/Fluvanna/Baltimore/Dover Line

SIGNIFICANT amounts 6-10+ on and north of a Raleigh/Roanoke Rapids/Emporia/Hampton/Salisbury line


Thats my take, by no means a forecast....look good to anyone?

I'm three miles north of Hampton therefore, Jackpot!

There's really no telling what's going to happend. None of the models are in agreement. I'm going with the GFS on this, it's been fairly consistant for the past 3 days.

Eric, why are you taking this with a grain of salt? The National Weather Service for your area must see reason for frozen precipitation (being as high as 70 percent).

Your area roads may in fact need salt. :)

Tom, with my part-time job and I don't enjoy being snowbound...my neighborhood streets are a mess...and I hate shoveling...(unlike Jeb)...well all that said...that's why. :-?
