Pattern January 2021 - Joyless January

[SnowNiner]

Just checking in and catching up. Glad were starting to get digital snow! That's a nice warning shot as we get into mid January and we actually have some cold to work with.

For next weekend, I'm just not a fan of ULLs. Never seem to be cold enough imby and even when it snows, it's 34-35 degrees at the surface and it melts as it falls. That's what's shown right now, so unless it trends significantly colder, I'll sell this storm to buy mid month.

Really nice to see signs of the arctic entering the picture; the last piece of the puzzle. Is this real? We'll see, I certainly hope so.

I think March 2009 was an upper low. One of the very few to work out.

That is a perfect winter storm look for the I-20 (and south) corridor in MS, AL & GA. Takes me back to the early ‘80s glory days. *sniff*

Yeah that did not work out for clt. A few sloppy wet inches after much, much rain. Everybody brings that one up, but I was not a fan. Great for other parts of nc though.

I though CLT got nailed by that. I know the GSP metro certainly did. Yeah that could have been much better since a lot did fall as rain and the bands that got the GSP metro never really got down to me. They stopped about 8 miles to my north.

Worked out ok where you are now. Got 5-6" with thundersnow!

Welcome back! We’re glad to have you as our snow potentials increase!

I lived in the University area during the March 2009 storm and I thought it worked out fine. The airport ended up with almost 5 inches and I measured 5.5 and got thunder snow.

Lol yep. Took me 11 years to figure out I needed to move North. I'm so slow.

He doing the right thing, getting in on the ground floor.

Did not get the thundersnow in 2009, but finally got a taste of it in 2013. That little event was amazing here.

Why does the map look like this? Who did we piss off?

Well, it’s 10 days out so maybe don’t take it verbatim.

I’m not really surprised as he always says the first key for him is pattern recognition. I still expect him to be conservative on individual threats

Yeah the warm pocket held on there forever that evening. I remember it very well. Was snow here while places such as Marion still had rain.

Yeah I remember seeing the visible satellite pictures the next day and thinking how odd it was to see that small strip that didn’t have snow cover. This wasn’t a bad storm at all. It was a paste bomb, but it actually stayed on the ground a couple days which usually doesn’t happen with March snow

Yeah I'm hoping to be in Mt Ulla by next this time next year. About to close on some property up there tomorrow. NC_Hailstorm's observations were always beating mine!
