Light rain currently not on radar across western NC makes you wonder if there will be a flash freeze tomorrow morning. Foggy and cloudy.

Snow approaching Memphis. Putting on my Wishcasting glasses for the rest of the night.

Was looking back at the George Strait of Arctic Blasts (The King), Jan 20, 1985. Charlotte was 40 degrees at 5am, then down to 19 degrees at Noon, and down to 10 degrees at 6pm. Highest winds were 23 mph with gusts to 31 at 2pm
This one has similar timing
For Charlotte, 3km NAM and HRRR have essentially 45 degrees at 5am, 20 degrees at Noon, and down to 17 degrees at 6pm
So, definitely a top-tier, once or twice in a lifetime type of winter cold frontal passage

I remember this vividly, woke up in Atlanta howling winds and a pretty heavy dusting of powder dry snow, was 7-15 degrees stayed there all day went to an official -8 but many areas were near -10 to -12.

GFS showing central GA/AL some love
Surprised there hasn’t been hardly any discussion today on after Christmas.

I pulled these hourly observations from 1/20/85 at KCLT off of Wunderground (ignore the errant off-hour 0s). Wasn't alive for that one, but it was definitely impressive, and am hoping for at least a taste of it tomorrow. Look at those dew points!

That would typically be impressive but after seeing Cheyenne go from 43 to 11 in only 9 minutes yesterday it's gonna be hard to beat that ever
I think it’s unlikely we get a “storm” after Christmas. But I could see the clipper type energy over preforming for some in the south and having more moisture than models currently show.
Is there any ensemble members showing anything around that time?
