Winter weather can be hard to predict and forecast. The slightest changes in atmospheric conditions, such as temperature, and wind, can make dramatic changes to a weather forecast. Combine that with elevation and surface conditions, and the variables could make your forecast a bust or a boom. This week on the Carolina Weather Group, we look at the tricky science that answers the question: Will that precipitation been snow, sleet, freezing rain, or rain? Special thanks this week to WCNC Charlotte. We had hoped to bring you our yearend interview with The Weather Channel's Jim Cantore this week. Jim was sent to the Northeast to cover the big winter storm. We hope to talk to him soon and bring you that conversation in the coming weeks. And that means you still have time to submit your questions for Jim. We're off next week but will be back December 30 with our own 2020 highlight reel. And as a remember, Patreon supporters at our $3.99/month tier have unlocked early access to our interview with Richard Neal, owner of Frying Pan Shoals tower. Otherwise that episode will be seen publicly in January of 2021.
