I'm going with the Ukie for the weekend storm. Much more of a tornado threat than an ice storm.

 

[Drizzle Snizzle]

With the last system people were Trash Talking the GFS saying it was a horrible model. And now people wanna Hug the GFS and pretend that it's right ?

 

[Snowflowxxl]

This is the type of event WxSouth back in the day used to describe as roof collapsing, power destroying, mass destruction $$$$$

i20 corridor from Augusta to Columbia either gets the ice storm of the decade for the Carolinas.... or cold rain... Somehow, this is ALWAYS the line in SC..... We get a winter storm or nothing at all... May be a hot take (because I know from experience how awful ice can be)... but I think @Mitch West and I would take the Ice over the cold rain at this point so we can actually say we participated in winter this year. ha

One of my favorite fantasy storms that never came to fruition was a massive Ice Storm that was supposed to shut the entire SE down on Super Tuesday 2016 and we ended up with severe weather that day instead

There's going to be some rough "analysis" here the next few days.

 

[tempo47]

if it’s gonna ice can it at least do it in a weekday so I don’t have to work

After seeing the ice accrual totals on most of the other models, the GFS is my new best friend and the only hope I have of staying out of the next Ice Age. Please be right about this storm GFS!

Man I just hate the wish-casting.. As much as I want this to work out. It's not really a great look, I've looked at 2021 analogs and it is eerily similar. Could I be wrong? Maybe, but I really just don't like the looks rn. An amped up baja can cut through a strong high in some cases.

What are you even talking about lol

 

[blueheronNC]

Any chance of Gulf Coast robbing convection with the weekend setup? That seems to historically be the last ditch bad luck outcome when everything else with the setup is perfect

 

[Drizzle Snizzle]

Snow in Florida. This is likely to happen. View attachment 185669

I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not. But Snow in Florida has become pretty common.

@SD hey @SD you got a foot on snow depth on this GFS run @SD by the way. just thought you should know. wanted to make sure your expectations were really super high

Congrats @LukeBarrette

Somebody might have to rough talk this storm too.

I feel like we get these type of storms all the time on the models and we end up with zilch or a dusting in my area of NC (north of Charlotte).
Someone tell me why this time will be different. Have we not seen signals like this before, at this time frame? I think that we would have to before.

At some point an honest conversation needs to be had around here regarding who has actually lived through a high impact winter storm.

88, 93, 96, 00, 02…

 

[Stevo24]

Euros are late lol

They usually are when a storm is coming

 

[ducketta27]

I wonder if this is anything like the setup of the Feb 2014 ice storm that crippled much of South Carolina and Georgia (while places north got snow)... Curious to get @bouncycorn, @Ross, @Webberweather53 opinion on this.... and if it looks like the i20 corridor from Augusta to Columbia should be safe (get the cold rain).... or expect a very similar outcome to 2014...

In Aiken, SC, I got 1.75 inches of ice on the trees if I recall... It remained cold for SEVERAL days following the event, and our power was out for 10 days.

Can’t wait to see this X/twitter here shortly. “North trend is happening”

I'm no fan of the Canadian, but this seems like it's completely within the realm of possible outcomes if the SE ridge gets too pumped up, and the high is weaker, more west than progged.

At least we have a good amount of time this week for the skies to heal.

Fox 5 in Atlanta is already talking about next weekend in their . I have to saybim a bit surprised.

Euros are late lol

naturally. any other time it wouldn't be.

The town looked like a war zone and a state of emergency was declared.... Worst damage we'd ever seen... until Helene... which had similar effects here in our region.

You have seen more snow the last 2 years than I have in the last decade let me jinx you

One of the reasons I can’t enjoy the January 2011 storm like everyone else, got a nasty dry slot with onset sleet and freezing drizzle

You can’t even jinx him. Look at the eps mean for him

i was a smug and stupid college freshman when this storm happened so i can't recall all the synoptics. but i do remember a supercad that pushed the ice line south some. wilmington got unexpectedly crippled with a half inch of ice. while there's a limit i think the cad bias is still very real and the ice line may verify south of the last call forecast consensus

I couldn't live my life feeling that kind of success

Was being serious. Tallahassee is the new Roxboro.

I’m just waiting on Webber and Bouncycorn to analyze these 12z runs. Ready for some of those badass maps.

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

As interesting as my dad's blog post was on 2/12/14 and hearing about the experiences of it (I luckily was not in the area), if you had to ask me if I was interested in experiencing a 2/12/14, my answer to that question is honestly, no.

It'll be tough, but I'd honestly be tempted to make travel plans if this is not looking good...

Some had snow some had ice some had rain. You're welcome, now you don't have to wait

 

[WolfpackHomer91]

Gross …. I see I’m already back at 1” QPF on 12Z suites now…. Not gonna be historic unless it’s 1.5-2” QPf

I remember going over there for work a few days afterwards and the tree damage was off the charts. Looked like a hurricane went through but different.
