Since y'all have no snow to cover live you need to get your hands on some explosives, get a big ass wooden crate, write Winter in huge letters on the side and blow it the hell up! Put that on the live show drop the mic and call it a winter.... boom!

I say let's go back to our inner middle schooler selves and give Charlie a swirly and then hang him on the back of the bathroom stall by his underwear...

This was the NAM 24 hours ago

Might be a few tors in far eastern NC overnight Monday into Tuesday if the NAM is right. Haha if the NAM is right

These maps are potential snow rates right? Not actual accumulations since the ground is so warm.

They're total snow maps which essentially means that they assume that all the snow that falls and reaches the ground doesn't sublimate (change from ice to gas), melt, and the ratios are all 10:1 (10" of snow per 1" of liquid), which is rarely a good approximation in the south where ratios are often near or lower than this due to the higher temperatures and moisture content of the air but when you're trying to create maps efficiently and for such a large area, taking the time to code a formula that would vary the modeled ratios as a function of temperature and moisture would be a waste of time since the models suck anyway...

This makes sense too :) Thanks!

The overnight timing for Ga is good to get accumulation if it does snow

Right. I think from Rome north might do well. I am hoping things can trend better for the north side of Atlanta. But, I know it's probably just too warm.

Based on the map I just saw I'm thinking of getting a hotel in Blairsville. But who knows, things can change between now and tomorrow night.
 
Looks like dry air below 850 is really a big problem for central NC. Since I am grasping at straws you could possibly see a few flurries make it to the surface if there are some heavier pockets of precipitation

Not only that but look how dry the dendritic growth zone (the area of the skew T chart ~ -12 - -18C where dendrites (snowflakes/ice crystals) are preferred to form), aside from the surface, the lowest RHs in the entire troposphere are in that "snow growth" zone lol.
