I still remember living in Raleigh 9 years ago during the "Carolina Crusher". I will never forget waking up, looking out the window, and realizing that over two feet of powder coated the ground. I was shocked! Needless to say that was an amazing event for the Carolinas, and still ranks as my number one snow storm in terms of total accumulation (24" in my area in just ~12 hours).

Ha thats nothing, we still got more down here in mid december than you guys got today :ggreen: Seriously though those are some nice pics. I was born in Durham years ago, have relatives in raleigh,wilmington, and statesville and remember some of those historic snowfalls. They make me jealous and WANT MORE of that white stuff. Forecast to be in the 70's by thursday :grrr: Oh well maybe next month we might get a little something. Post some more pics when you get a chance.

I was at work for the last 1/2 of the storm, so we actually got about double the snow shown in the last 2 pics.

HPC is rather bullish on a Gulf Coast Storm forming this weekend/early next week. If this varifies, the Deep South to New England "may" have a Major System...

PRELIMINARY EXTENDED FORECAST DISCUSSION

900 AM EST WED JAN 28 2009

VALID 12Z SUN FEB 01 2009 - 12Z WED FEB 04 2009



A MEAN UPPER LOW WILL DOMINATE NORTHERN ALASKA THIS PERIOD.
TELECONNECTIONS ON THIS FEATURE FAVOR A DOWNSTREAM TROF ALONG OR
OFF THE E COAST AND RIDGING ACROSS MUCH OF THE ROCKIES. A
PROGRESSIVE PATTERN...AS ADVERTISED BY THE GLOBAL GUIDANCE...IS
IMPLIED BY THE FAST WESTERLY FLOW ENTERING CANADA SOUTH OF THE
NORTHERN ALASKAN MEAN UPPER LOW.

JUST AFTER GROUNDHOG DAY...STANDARDIZED 500 HPA ANOMALIES ACROSS
THE SOUTHEAST SHOW THAT THE VIGOROUS 00Z/28 GFS COASTAL
CYCLOGNESIS LATE MON INTO WED IS POSSIBLE AND CANNOT BE RULED
OUT....THOUGH WE ARE NOT PRESENTLY BOMBING OUT THIS SYSTEM
.
A DEEP
UPPER CYCLONE COULD BRIEFLY CLOSE OFF AS FAR SOUTH AS TENNESSEE OR
NORTH CAROLINA BEFORE LIFTING NORTHWARD. ENSEMBLE SPAGHETTI PLOTS
GIVE DECENT SUPPORT FOR A MAJOR DEVELOPMENT NEAR OR A BIT INLAND
FROM THE SOUTH OR MID ATLANTIC COAST EARLY NEXT WEEK. A DEEPENING
SURFACE CYCLONE COULD MOVE NORTH TO NORTHEAST FROM THE GULF OF
MEXICO UP THE PIEDMONT...EASTERN SEABOARD...OR THROUGH THE WESTERN
ATLANTIC WITH THE USUAL WINTER WEATHER CONSEQUENCES.
WE HAVE NOT
SEEN THIS TYPE OF CYCLONE TRACK TOO OFTEN THE PAST COUPLE WINTERS.


UPDATED PRELIM PROGS CONTINUED TO USE A BLEND OF THE 00Z ECMWF/00Z
GFS TO COME UP WITH THE PRESSURES...EXCEPT THAT WE ADJUSTED THE E
COAST STORM A BIT SOUTH FROM THE EARLY PRELIM TO BETTER FIT THE
POSITION OF THE SURFACE LOW TUE/WED DAYS 6-7 GIVEN BY THE GEFS AND
ECMWF ENSEMBLE MEANS. THIS TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE FORECAST
UNCERTAINTY.
