i wouldn't mind if the western piedmont gets crushed this time...we had our storms in jan 2000 and jan 2002 *both over a foot*. The beaches got a good one january 2003 and december 2000. As long as i get to share in at least "some" of the snow i'll be happy. Good luck to the folks in gboro charlotte etc...as well as the western carolina's and ga!

Thoughts basically remain the same, but looking more likely that the higher totals I originally have need to be bumped upward a category to include the POTENTIAL for 12"-18" of snowfall, especially where the deformation zone sets up ...

Basically speaking, someone will get CRUSHED based on the 00z guidance.

Not so fast the best upslope is just begining, the low level winds are just now going upsplope. Already got reaports of 2-4" in the moutians with more snow. The radars don't depict the real story up there. Check the cameras!

Based on the map that wxbrad supplied from RAH, the deformation band set up shop RIGHT WHERE I thought it would, but due to other circumstances, I couldn't (didn't) have a PC available since I wasn't home at all yesterday ...

For those that want to grade my snowfall forecast (which from Columbia southward absolutely sucked ... since the dry slot screwed many south, including myself --- with only trace amounts of light sleet and snizzle ...

I only made one snowfall forecast and that was February 25th at 2 pm EST ... with an update right here on Storm2k in a previous post ... Go to my website ( http://www.stormsfury1.com ) and toolbar down to My forecast/prognostic discussion) for the February 25th, 2004 prog disc, and let me know what your comments are ...
