Wouldn't it be even more difficult to get snow covered roads after Feb 10 due to a much higher sun angle ?

It's the other way around. Sun angle actually provides lift for convection, hence heavier snow showers, more accumulation.

Over the holiday weekend, did we all decide that we're just going to come in this thread and make stuff up this week?

Yep about to be some time outs from this thread before the month even starts

Just by the looks of the models the first two weeks of January look interesting. Lots of energy flying around. Wouldn't take much to make a snowstorm for the I-40 and North crowd. Usual thread the needle.

If you guys want to discuss sun angle, how cold it needs to be to see snow accumulate, or whatever trivial thing you want to about snow accumulations please feel free to go to whamby with it. 2 recent examples that prove that snow can stick to roads and/or stick to the ground after Feb 15th or a torch month are Feb 2015 and March 2018 imby and I'm sure others have examples as well. Thanks

I would say due to the “heat wave” this week any chances of ice would be a self limiting process with roads being fine well into February. For snow, we can still get the grass covered but snow covered roads are gonna be a difficult task until at least Feb10 or after.

Now you know this is fictional. If it snows heavily enough, it will stick to the ground and roadways. And if we have a week of cold weather, it will cool the ground nicely. There isn't a magma chamber sitting underneath us.

GFS still like that system over the weekend for the western Southeast.

Hopefully the 0Z warmer GEFS/EPS trends will reverse here at 12Z. Fingers crossed!

Thank you!!! I watched 2.5 inches of snow cover the roads in Wingate, including US 74 on 4/2/2019… 18 hours after highs had been near 70 for a week, and of course early April has a much higher sun angle than January.

Warm front has rocketed north of me. Pushing 75F already in Braden Co

 

[TheBatman]

Interesting how it has developed a low on the front. A lot of people would be happy if we could get that low about 150 miles south in the gulf.

Gfs with a nice hit for the midsouth

Absolute paste bomb for the mountains there. That’s the best run I’ve seen this season for NW flow

Now that is definitely something to watch. Verbatim it’s moving fast and not spinning a lot of moisture back in after the front pushes through but that could change I guess.

Cabin search is activated. Man what a run and look for them if that verified.
