Will It Really Snow in Raleigh? Real Snow? Sleet or Freezing Rain?? Will the Virga Monster Gobble Up All the Snow? So Many Questions ... Snow Arrives Soon... If Snow Dreams Come True!

 

This may be an old fashioned BobbiStorm Blog filled with thoughts and honesty and less images as at this point the models are not important and only the radar and satellite imagery tells the story. That blue line is moving in on RDU rapidly, as I thought it might, and I prepared earlier to get things done so I could stop and write and dump my thoughts as this storm system has been a fast mover and has overproduced in cities along the way where it stopped and delivered winter weather stronger and earlier than expected.

Weather evolves in real time, models are only so good and give a good indication of what may happen, but when it begins to snow or sleet then we really finally know.

Raleigh is a beautiful place to experience Spring in the South and Fall is awesome. Summer is hot, humid, there is absolutely no air movement and so beastly that I actually I go to Miami for Summer... says a lot! But Winter is beautiful for someone who loves green pines intermixed with bare branches interwoven reaching out in all directions while ths sun sets and through them you see a colorful sunset in shades of coral and orchid that only shows up in the Winter. The sky only shows up in the Winter as otherwise it's a green, verdant city heavily forested and sky is cloaked in all the green. I love the Winter here. I also love snow and snow rarely shows when it's supposed to but when it does it's awesome! 

Some people hate it, it's inconvenient and I suppose shows they are not in charge just because they want to be. The power of weather aka Mother Nature is in control and may snow on your party. Or not. 

I moved here during several snowy years when silly me I thought it always delivered messy "lasagna storms" with both snow, sleet and sometimes freezing rain all mixed together so that when you walk outside your boots sink down into the various layers with a crunchy sound as if you're eating the world's largest potato chip! Maybe a corn chip, they make more noise when eating them and I used to eat BBQ Corn Chips but now I rarely eat chips unless it's a holiday! I bought Terra Chips in case it does snow and I get the munchies! I get high from snow! I get high from weather! 

I love weather!

Never stop chasing.

But sometimes I want the weather to chase me.

Snow in Colorado was incredibly beautiful. But it's supposed to snow in Colorado! Loved it!

I finally got to see Colorado State University, go figure, and yes the Aspen is oh my gosh incredible in the snow and I'm sure it is indeed beautiful in the Fall as I've been told so maybe next Fall I'll go and see for myself!

Today I just want to see snow falling in my backyard. It's that simple. I'm not a hater, I'm a lover.

And, I love snow so I'm giddy like a school girl about to see snow for the first time after I moved up North and I'm still in awe of it all.

So check back Sunday to see what exactly happened and what if anything we really got. Mother Nature can be a heartbreaker in Raleigh even when you see snow moving in on the radar. Sometimes there's a Virga Monster :(

Sweet Snowy Dreams,

Prayers for everyone in California, a place I lived and loved ...tho it was a bit stingy with the snow in it never rains in Southern California.
