Is it just me or does it just seem easier to snow in Tulsa than Raleigh despite being roughly the same latitude ?
Chicago, IL and Rome Italy are the same latitude. They are vastly different. Geography is the reason for the difference between Tulsa and Raleigh, their relative locations and distances from mountains/oceans play a huge role.

Rome is close to a lot of water though. Raleigh is pretty far inland.

Ah yes, Atlanta to Athens heartbreaks are nothing new.

Georgia Weather History for January 6th​

In 1996, a winter storm dropped heavy snow across north Georgia, mainly north of a line from Rome to Toccoa. Anywhere from 3 to 6 inches of snow fell in this area, with 7 to 12 inches reported in the higher elevations of northeast Georgia. A state of emergency was declared for White County.
 
These are very fascinating events. Tough to predict. The high winds with no rain make for some pretty wild sounds.

It kept waking me up last night. The tempest registered a 35 mph gust which is impressive given that it is relatively sheltered from SW winds.
 
I’ve just seen so many times where the cold struggled to get far to the southeast. These cold maps are probably way overdone.
I think that's right most times. But there are also times when the surface air is so cold that models have a hard time handling the forward speed of the front. Good ole JB use to talk about this years back, saying the very cold air will undercut/push much quicker than modeled.

The ICON did a good job with the last 3 arctic outbreaks in the past few years. Right now, it's the quickest so far.
