Misc General Banter Thread

Now though it looks like it’s drying out and might end up a nuisance event even in my area north of charlotte. It will still build distrust in the eyes may folks unfortunately.
I would be surprised if it ends up only a nuisance event there, but I suppose it’s possible. People will always distrust mets due to the litany of absurd info sources and conversation online that ends up becoming their opinion of meteorologists after a while. Met may handle it perfectly given the difficult circumstances but will get some blame and distrust bc ppl talking about wintry around here creates a never ending hype machine. We’ll do it all again next time
 
What’s up with the icon showing ZR for nc and sleet for Georgia ? lol

Somebody tell me how the National Weather Service is still forecasting heavy snow when none of the modeling is showing that... I know, I know. It'll change...

FRIDAY NIGHT
Mostly cloudy. A chance of snow after midnight. Little or no snow accumulation. Cold with lows in the lower 20s. North winds around 5 mph. Chance of snow 30 percent.

SATURDAY
Snow. Moderate snow accumulation. Much colder. Near steady temperature in the mid 20s. Temperature falling into the lower 20s in the afternoon. Chance of snow 90 percent.

SATURDAY NIGHT
Snow. Snow may be heavy at times. Additional heavy snow accumulation. Cold with lows 10 to 15. Chance of snow near 100 percent.

SUNDAY
Sleet in the morning, then snow and sleet likely in the afternoon. Additional moderate snow accumulation. Cold with highs in the upper 20s. Chance of precipitation near 100 percent.

SUNDAY NIGHT
Mostly cloudy with a chance of snow. Cold with lows 15 to 20. Chance of snow 50 percent.

That should be good for the 8-14 inches, they say!!! lol

Bc they’re not model watching…… they’re actually intelligent at deciphering the data.

There's no way I'm buying 75 in Valdosta and 25 in Atlanta. I've seen big temp differences before but I don't think ive ever seen a 50 degree temp difference between Valdosta and Atlanta.
I've seen a 50 degree difference between here and augusta. it was 35 here and 85 there...i'm about 80 miles away. It can happen.
 
I just need .2 of precip
Actual temps below zero Saturday
25:1 ratios, gets me about 6” or so! ❄️💦
 
FWIW:

ICON handled today’s system the best from 2/3 days out.

And yet it’s shown previously that it may not be trustable with CAD events because it overdoes it with cold. We ultimately never will as we’re crazy, but we may have to put this model on the backburner at least involving CAD.

BTW: This area is Helene scarred, so the Mets having barked before they backed off caused the stores to be a madhouse. This is still not going to be the best look to overprepare for something that won’t happen for many as they will be talking about how “ha! winter weather can’t happen here anymore,” and then cynically I think a next time in the near future, our luck runs out.
