Yeh Shawn, we know we’re screwed in the Midlands regardless. What’s new, it’s always the same, a new issue will always replace an improvement.

so glad i never really got sucked into this one.
I like this, looking at dew points there’s also hints of weak cold air Damming, which would further help wet bulbing more

So what gives? We have moisture, we have a nice 1040-1045 high sitting in an ideal place? Why isn't cold air funneling down far enough into the south?
I truly hope something can come back to help y’all out, really do, Columbia/surrounding areas snow drought needs to end
Trough/SE Canada vortex moving out/retreating to quick and has been trending further north
Maybe but verbatim that wont cut it. Wet bulb is 36. May provide flakes but that's it.
I feel for you! I am in pretty much the same boat. I may as well be in the Midlands as well. Especially when you're East or Southeast of 85- in the Charlotte metro.
Dad lives in Rock hill, it’s been a bad drought there also, so I know what you mean! But yeh, it’s frustrating but I like to think that one day Mother Nature will make up for the screw job she’s given the Central Midlands. Anyways, I’ll quit complaining.
That warm layer is wayy to small to melt snow quick enough if you wet bulb (had all snow 41 degrees days ago), heavy rates would only cool it down, not saying that’s happening tho, but just a slight possibility

Cold is always the probably down in the South especially down the I-20 area lots of precipitation =more rain...but honestly time is starting to run out but if anything areas further north like Tennessee extreme north Ga and especially north Carolina still might have a chance at something

I’m feeling a little optimistic in North Carolina that I may see something but I’m not letting it get to me because I know the outcome is probably not desirable.
Absolutely snow would reach the ground. We need wet bulb to be lower than 36 to accumulate though. We don't need much. Slightly lower 2m or slightly lower dews would do it and this far out plenty of time for that. Maybe it's not lost after all. But I'll wait another day or two to go all in again. ?
I think the lack of snow pack is hurting us to an extent.

Let’s take the banter to a different thread folks.
Gefs trended stronger with the trough around the NE us, which is acting as our cold air source, so it was a bit colder, but precip sheild was shunted back south a little, gefs snow mean is kinda deceiving from the big dog members
That definitely is a more excited snowfall output from the GEFS showing there is always still a chance with this one

When does the 18z euro come out
It just finished running. IMO it looks much better and a huge step in the right direction!

Yep, does look to be farther north with the precip chances.

I Like that SE ridge flex, pushes things north

I do believe this eventually trends north. Giving areas some snow with marginal temps. But I do not view this as a winter storm. But a fun novelty snow is on the table for some.

Could that be for areas i85 and north

I would think so. But it would all depend on rates.

Well last event was suppose to be just a novelty event that ended up being a 6+ inch winter storm for some ... I’ll take that if that’s a novelty event

This is a much different setup. Last storm definitely over performed for many. Trends definitely have not been good today. But the reason I haven’t given up hope yet. Is because I have seen past storms Trend better inside 3 days.

Surprised not hearing from any TN people. We're in this too!
They’re different, but there both similar in a few ways, Both of these systems could have the same processes that make them overperform tho, still could also get worse

Dennis is now down to 920 millibars. This is the second strongest North Atlantic non-tropical storm on record.

Looks like the heaviest snow is from nc/sc boarder to up in the southern Virginia is it not cold enough to get heavier snow to fall down closer to i85
