Looks familiar....

So let me see if I'm close here... take the model with the best upper air pattern, the model with the coldest temps and the model with the highest qpf, throw it all in the mixer and voila a blizzard?

Add a pinch of. aM, then BAM
 
1st thing my wife asked me when I got home was

Hey baby I hear we are having a ice storm next week.
Me: who said that?
Wife: people on Facebook.
Me: baby it’s Facebook
Wife: so is it true?
Me: it’s over a week out and it was one run. Tell your Facebook people to relax.
Word travels fast these days....I have had 3 people text me about this “ ice storm”. Going to start charging them for my awful forecasting guesses.

I know its early but here are some of my early predictions:

Birmingham: 18"
Atlanta:14"
Chattanooga: 22"
Greenville: 16"
Macon: 4" snow with 1" sleet/zr
Charlotte: 15"
Columbia: 6" with 1/2" ice/zr
Nashville: 10"
I’m guessing these are rain totals? Time to hoist the flood warnings

Haha I’m laughing seeing Greenville with 16 inches. Not gonna happen thanks for the laugh

BHM with 17”- 25” of snow?;)

I really wish I had my own computer model that uses my technique, I know that's not possible. So I have to generate the "model" manually using paint programs. I've been thinking of ways to add more elements to my "model" such as air pressures, thickness values, 850 temps. as well as surface temps.

So the snow depth will depend on the surface air temps. According to the GFS, the surface temps will be in the upper 20s to lower 20s midnight Wednesday. By looking at this chart and comparing the air temp and QPF, you can see there would be high snow amounts adding up. Of course, some snow would melt, but if the snow is heavy enough, it will overcome the ground temp. I know the timing is off between the GFS temp surface map and the Euro QPF. The reason being, again I think the Euro is off 24 hours with the storm system.

This is a good snow chart, save it for reference!
