Right now the GFS is an outlier. The CMC, UKMET, Navgem, NAM and Euro all trend toward a more southern solution for the upper level low's track which is good for more snow/less ice. Really wondering what the GFS is grasping at, but would be absolutely shocked if the other models caved to the GFS. It's unlikely...but possible. It;s really sticking to its guns.

Thanks for watching out for us, NPG. I'll do my best to get to work carefully.

if you shop almost daily for your food supply, stock up tomorrow.

otherwise, wait until at least noon on Thursday to see what the weathermen are saying. I need more firewood anyway, so I'll probably do that tomorrow.

Euro dropped our snow prediction to around 4-5". Bah.

Yeah, it's tracked the low farther west/inland, which creates mixing issues for anyone east of I77 really. It's going to be an icy slushy mess

Central NC on many days is warmer than Miami by 10*F in the summer.

In fact, Miami has temps closely related to Hawaii throughout the year. The temps are, on average, within 3-4*F of each other.

Where FL gets a bad rap is from the central area where it's hot with no wind. Having lived in central Coastal FL and central inland FL, I can see how people wouldn't like it. But stay by the coasts and the temps are excellent. It's not CA but you don't have the house prices there either.

My Dark Sky weather app, which has been really accurate in the past for rain, is back to telling me 5-8 inches of snow at my house on Friday (changing to rain after 8 p.m.). That could be fun.

I think this is one of those storms where the meteorologists just have zero clue what's going to happen.

Miami and Raleigh essentially have the same average high temps throughout the summer (Jul - Ral=89 Mia=88 Aug - Ral=88 Mia=89).

So while I'm sure Raleigh can be warmer than Miami by 10 degrees on many days in the summer, Miami would be equally warmer than Raleigh by 10 degrees on many summer days as well. Miami also has a much higher nighttime humidity reading than Raleigh on pretty much any day of the year.
