The key takeaway here is a west-based greenland block that retrogrades across Canada almost always pays out. This time it was for Memphis/huntsville/chattanooga.
The vortex underneath always seemed to be a little too far West in the long range runs/ensembles, so no shock the snow storm wound up happening in the western Southeast.

Patiently waiting for the day Brad has the snow meter at a 10.
Yeah, might want to keep it up for the severe weather. We get that year round and more of it in winter now than snow.

Don’t fall for it
Seriously, when I first started coming to the weather boards it was only after reading the RAH office's forecast discussion and if they really started talking about the chance for snow or severe storms. I'm thinking it might be better to start doing that again instead of seeing the models show a threat for snow 7 or 10 days out only for it to go away as time goes along. It's a lot easier for me to handle a severe bust because we get so many severe threats year round now. But the snow threats seem less and less, making it a bigger disappointment when they don't actually come to fruition.

When I was a kid we would get 200-3848 threats a winter with about 20-60 of them coming to fruition. Those were the good ol days… I remember them well indeed

Long range forecasting has always sucked and it still does. I appreciate those who try to do it but the sad reality is that the results are no better than a coin flip imho. Maybe the real data says slightly better than that but the fact is I dont put much if any stock in it. And these days when if seems like heaven and earth have to move for us to get anything it makes it seem worse.

I know I'd sounds bad but The only thing that has made it tolerable to me is the DC crew have been screwed for the past 2 years too. But I know its inevitable that they will soon get a foot or more and then complain they didnt get that extra foot the gfs was showing..... so I keep hoping we will score big first but of course we keep batting zero and its unlikely.

I would have just rather just not had a chance at all than for me to just watch it fade north.

I know man. I'm from there and we have been really spoiled over the years with some huge snows, but last couple years have been rough. Everyone over there at americanwx says that the MA has become Charlotte or Atlanta...LOL

Its probably going to come down to a nowcasting situation. Could change in almost any direction.

Winter Storm Watch is above WWA.

wsw is lowest, then wwa. Watches become advisories if it's not within warning criteria closer to verification.
Not saying this in a bad way, and please don’t interrupt it that way. It’s been great to see some of the Alabama and Mississippi members posting lately ?
Sort of like us NE Ga. peeps watching our 33 and rain on a stiff NE CAD wind while N. Carolina gets puked on.
I should have checked my local climatology before buying this house. Hosed on NW flow events, and at the tail end of CAD events too. ?
Never fails when we get a snowstorm for parts of the board the special posters come out. ???

I just want to know what wall the precip is hitting for us in Tupelo?? frame after frame of it not moving a mile. 
That is because you are on the edge of the RSSS. Sorry for your unfortunate location.

Ah, but a Winter Storm Warning is an upgrade from a WWA.
Cool. Not sure what that has to do with anything I said. Or why you have my avatar as a way of trolling me. Maybe you're just a jerk.
NoSnowATL loves the clown emoji so much. I think he's projecting too much. Or maybe he has a clown fetish.

Won’t go back above zero until Wednesday afternoon! A truly impressive cold snap! 
Being too far south for precip for a snowstorm is a special kind of kick in the gonads in this terrible snow drought.

Yeah it's not as long as 2021 here but we're not too far off the coldest 2021 was during the daytime that's for sure
Christmas 22 wasn't far off this tbh(closer in length) Kind of amazing to see it three times in 3 years
Too far south or too far east here. Tale as old as time.
Psalms 148:8
This is another instance where scripture uses nature to demonstrate the power of God. This verse reminds us that wind, mist, fire, hail, and snow are all obedient to the voice of God. This means that God is in charge of weather patterns in the universe.When I get there I hope I get the chance to ask him why he made it so hard for the southeast to get snow.i think it’s a legit question.
