It just amazes me the hole from past Aiken to the rock hill area. Frosty hates us

100% agree. We’ve missed south 2x and north more than I can truly count since the last snow here. Last good snow for both of us, probably 2010. I’m 32. I was in high school in 2010

51 here, which is right about where we were forecasted for our high. We've had plenty of good storms where we were this warm or warmer the day before, but not cooling off tonight is the bigger concern.

Just to add to this, the most dramatic one I remember was late February 2015. We warmed up into the mid or maybe even upper 50s that day with sunshine (needless to say, there was plenty of cliff jumping as we blew through our forecasted high that day), and then by mid-evening it was pouring snow with temperatures in the low 30s (it might've briefly started as rain, but I don't recall). That was a wet snow and the warmer soil temps as a result of the plentiful sunshine and warm temperatures that day definitely made sticking to the road, etc. a bit harder, but it came down with such fury that we ended up with 6.5" by the wee hours of the morning. I don't recall the setup for that one really well, but it was a beautiful snow.

I also remember as a kid it being in the 70s / 80s one day in late March, and the next morning we had a dusting of wet snow. It wasn't much, though.

I’m located about 30 miles south of Macon so I’m currently under the Winter Storm Warning issued by FFC. If the forecast pans out, this would be 2 consecutive years of accumulating snow which would have to be a rare occurrence for this part of Georgia. I don’t recall back-to-back years with snow since moving here in 1998.

It’s currently 60 degrees so a WSW certainly seems unlikely, but if the right temps and enough precip can dance together for a few hours, perhaps a slushy inch isn’t out of the question. FFC says the maim window for “impactful” snow would be between 6-11a.m.

I appreciate the model insight provided by both the licensed mets and amateurs alike. The wealth of knowledge on SouthernWX is truly amazing!

The timing couldn’t be better for us with it being early in the day when temps are at their coldest. But I’m still worried about how much will actually accumulate.
 
Complete winter wonderland here in Brooklyn. Today wildly overperformed. Most models showed at best an hour or two of light snow. Got under a heavy band for 2-3 hours instead and got about 1.5”. First time I’ve seen accumulating snow happen with my own two eyes in 4 years.

Sending the good vibes down to yall for tomorrow and next week!IMG_0153.jpeg

Sad state of affairs for ne Ga and NW Sc!
We used to be the sweet spot in the late 70's and 80's. Now we are lucky to get flurries...think spring!

Yeah, I'm ready for 70's and even 80's to come back because it is obvious this is NOT our year for winter precip. We may go 5+ years without much snow or ice in upstate SC and the Charlotte area.

It's 63º at 3pm, 2 degrees warmer than forecast. I hope that doesn't mean tonight's temp will also be 2 degrees warmer than forecast.

Your winds will shift to WNW sometime this evening behind a front, driving in cooler temps and lower dewpoints.

If we can’t score a snowstorm the last week of January, we absolutely suck.

Like 0-16 Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions level of suck

Several big dogs showing up on every model run is nuts! The weekend threat is only an appetizer compared to the potential coming up!
 
Well, the GFS at about 9 AM tomorrow for me would be cool if it actually verified, even though it's unlikely that all of that would stick.

I really doubt it though. It's sad that it looks like the Savannah River Warm Nose is going to win out. I just hope that I can manage to get temps that are a couple degrees lower than what the RAP suggests...
 
The sun is breaking through in S. Charlotte just in time for sunset… maybe allowing for some extra radiational cooling here over the next few hours? It’s not over until it’s over!
