I think there’s at least a 20% chance we see air as cold as Christmas the first week of February.

Yeah, 1 in 5 sounds about right.

Hopefully not. Do not want to lose the power grid.

No chance at all. Are you kidding me ? North GA is not seeing temps in the teens in the afternoon again this winter.

I don't know how many times or different ways ways to break this; if it is not cold it will NEVER snow. Let me know how many 70 degree snows you've had and I'll reconsider my stance.

It does not take cold like we had at Christmas for winter weather though.

I've seen it time and time again here in the upstate where some of the best snows occurred at 35-36° So nope all these people sitting back hollering major Cold evidently don't realize we don't need the coldest of Air. Give me 35 and Upper levels just below 0 and I will take my chances all day long here regardless of what models or anyone says

Rookie!

State had another potential student suicide. Obviously the worst dream of those of us who work front lines with students.

I know there’s some state students here and I hope if you ever feel like that, you’ll go see student services.

I don’t feel good , can you send me money? I’m a state student… well till May!

Will you be moving away after college to a snowier climate ?

 

[Snowlover87]

Up to this point in winter with nothing frozen at this point, this year reminds me of 2012-13, 2014-15, 05-06, 06-07 and not to leave out my good buddy 2011-12 that's always in the back of my mind. Long story short those winters played out like this.

05-06 pretty big ice storm in December all freezing rain but not a flake of snow the rest of winter but way better than this winter so far with at least a winter storm.

06-07 torch most of winter. Mid February a dusting to a 1/4 of snow and that was it.

2012-13 nothing until mid February and ended up with some heavy snow showers that gave me a quick 4.5 inch accumulation in about 4-6 hour time frame on a weekend. Nothing before or after that winter.

2014-15 nothing until mid February and ended up getting 3 winter storms in a 10 day period. 4 inches of sleet and 6 inches of snow all in 10 days. 3 separate storms.

2011-12 the worst, nothing but a few sleet pellets towards the end of February. Not a flake all winter. My worst winter ive experienced if you like winter weather.

Just my 2 cents on the winters ive experienced in the past. Doesn't mean nothing on how this one might play out but we have been down this road many times before.

Quick question, why is going to be so windy with this storm?

I don't want cold like Christmas either because it's guaranteed to be dry. 35-36 to start out and wet bulb down is fine. But to stay at 35-36 and have major accumulation is hard. From my experience here 34 and under is when it can really accumulate.

Winter is probably not going to cooperate for snow fans.

I haven't seen a single person in here argue that this is objectively a good pattern. Thing is, once threats start showing up the pattern doesn't really matter. We track threats here, it's what we do. Most threats don't work out, in any pattern... maybe this threat is even more likely to trend poorly b/c of the underlying pattern, who cares? We track it anyways. As the example posted above, lots of winter storms manifest in the midst of bad patterns, it's not uncommon at all.

I guess maybe some people would prefer no discussion about anything other than how bad the pattern is. Maybe from now on, just find the maps with the most red over the SE and talk about how bad the pattern sucks 10 times a day and rack up the likes

I think I've had a new low here.... A Winter Storm Warning and the ground didn't even turn white ?

Did you move to SE Wake Co?

That's easy because it's already happening. Maybe some people should look outside

I was wondering how many of those warnings verified. Seems like it stayed just a degree or two too warm.
