It seems to me that the 850s are significantly warmer than they were at this point in advance of the big storm. Remember when the 0C 850 line was right along the SE US coast for several days worth of runs? Subsequently there was the NW trend, which brought the 850 0C line to near ATL. Looking at this Fri, 850s along the coast are +5 to +7 and the 0C line is already near or just N of ATL. So, if there were to be a NW trend of the precip again this time, wouldn't it be warmer than the last storm at 850 at least in N GA and nearby areas? So, my gut feel is that the areas hit by the last storm likely don't have the same potential with this one. It just doesn't look cold enough. Am I missing something? If so by all means, tell where I'm off.
