SW Piedmont screw zone already evident

Im Out Youtube GIF
 
This is the day I had feared not having power, currently 20 F and wind gusts exceeding 40 mph and a few flakes flying around.. All the ice IMBY had melted by sunset yesterday thankfully.

Went to Raleigh in 2002 with a chainsaw to help family clean up after that storm. It was a mess and glad we didn't see that yesterday.

I absolutely was expecting no power for a few days at least because although I thought it was possible to get sleet for a good bit of it, most of the models didn't have my Location getting it and the coldest 925mb temps were just north of me. But thankfully the majority of my precip was indeed sleet and I have power. Im thrilled because I have enough going on not having to deal with tree damage cleanup and no power for days. I told everyone how bad it could be and normally I'd be annoyed it didn't pan out but not this time.
 
Pushed the tropical vacation start to Tuesday bc of this past weekend but at this point I should just scrap the whole thing. I can’t not be here for significant winter events.

Mmm. You are def part of the Carolina weenie club…He is apparently a meteorologist and you guys were having absolute meltdowns over Mets on tv forecasting 2 feet of snow in Georgia.. bc it is indeed irresponsible to make statements that you have no way of validating… esp coming from a met.

Honestly not sure which NC folks were having meltdowns over Mets on TV forecasting two feet over GA, but you should probably take those receipts to those folks. Might not be a good idea though coming from an AL snow weenie basically in shambles because a met didn't answer his IMBY question the way he thought he deserved on a weatherboard. But weenies gonna weenie sometimes. Plus you're in the correct thread now, mission accomplished.

Yall the weathernext model is pretty much locked in and that’s saying something as it was locked in on this weekends storm at this range. I think this will be a decent storm for many on this forum.

I like that it's been consistent with still showing the weak Miller A footprint at least. So that's still there no matter what even if the storm doesn't bomb in time for around here.

EPS and the AI Euro are showing that (or maybe the northern stream stuff) still as well. If that goes away, then I would be slightly worried.

I personally think we’re in a great spot

IF weathernext nails this one I truly think it will change the way we track storms / model watch forever. If we truly have a model that is that reliable at a week out will be game changing.

You mean you don't think it's cool when a model shows over a foot of snow 4 days out only to change to an inch of freezing rain 3 days out and then that end up being way too extreme?

I asked a simple question because I am trying to learn. Why are you even offended? lol I can’t imagine having such a lame and sorry life, that I need to resort to being an internet troll. Just curious, how old are you? Lol

Notice he went with the most northerly map looks. Who knows, he's maybe more right than wrong.

I mean, it's probably fair unfortunately because one of our posters pointed out that one failure mode with this one is that it wraps up to the north of the south.

Cold should be there this time, so it won't be about hey...some of us need a super CAD to bail us out of a mess involving ice (as yesterday really was a super CAD lol).

It would be nice if some of the OPs show the Miller A footprint again.

Missing snow to the north, south, and east in a two week span, guess this is for last year lol

Right there with you. We have gotten maybe one inch of snow since 2018, but within 30 miles in all directions there have been 3"+ events within the last 13 months. I have officially labeled LaGrange, GA as the capitol of "Almost got winter weather."

sort of hoping it’s wrong just to keep this fun
 
So what are the odds of anyone south towards Albany GA Dothan AL and Montgomery getting snow outta this because as of now and the modeling it doesn’t look very likely at all and almost looks like everyone in AL isn’t going to get snow…

Time to hibernate for a few days, and then come up for air and see how this one is doing. I did that last week and by the time I came back, this weekend's storm had turned into an ice storm, so hope the same isn't true here! :D

If we do it won’t be much and it’ll be more on the eastern side of the state, heaviest looks to be in the Carolinas

To be honest, I think the speaking in absolutes is a huge problem. I always wince when I see the messaging that any outcome “will” happen vs. “has a strong chance” of happening, “will most likely” happen, etc., even if it’s hours before the event. The public has the right to be frustrated by a forecast bust even if it’s that we barely dodged a bullet.
 
Hate to say it, but unless something changes this isn’t a Alabama storm. Maybe a few snow showers at best with the northern stream but that’s it. We seen major changes before but I don’t feel it with this one. I hope im wrong but I feel right about this. If anything this will continue to trend NW instead of W
