pt has signaled boot will come off this friday which i'm pretty excited about. we're doing a lot of walking/stability exercises now. just in time for me to walk to the bar on saturday. hoping that i'll get the ok to walk 9 by mid feb, i actually bought a sunday golf bag that carries 5 clubs to ease back into things

speaking of btw, i walked pete dye river course a few times this past fall while day tripping from richmond to boone/asheville (its on 81). Might be my favorite public course in virginia at this point. such a fun, unique track you got there. in one of the rounds in september, i was paired with a VT senior who said he paid 35 bucks to walk. we got rained out after hole 8 and shared some $3 millers in the clubhouse. excellent time. that's quite a deal you guys got going on over there

Yooooo I love the River Course! I was a student member in the fall, I think it was 300 or 400 I don't remember but I get to walk the rounds for free with it (cart fee is still 20 bucks). Beautiful course and always in solid shape, you might not even been able to tell most of the course went under water from Helene. They had to put at least a million into restoration.

Front 9 wasn't awful but the back 9 was horrific. These pics are of the back 9.

Its been bad here in the western part of the state as well. I';ve shoveled a few different times now and its been hell each time, does not help when you get plowed into a spot and then you have to dig out the whole wall of packed snow and sleet. Almost all of the public schools are still out, Virginia Tech is finally back today.

Even here I have an area of my driveway that’s completely shaded and a part of my porch that also is and both are just ice rinks. I’ve tried to break it up but it’s so far been pretty fruitless. Maybe I need to try a little harder today but damn, it’s a literal ice rink.

NAM firing off warning shots this morning for the triad and precip gap southwest. Normally wouldn’t care but it was pretty consistent last week showing less precip than globals right out of the gate. The precip evolution of the 12z wouldn’t surprise me one bit if it ended up happening. Upper level low swings to far south and the coastal is too far east to do anything around here.

I think you’re overreacting a bit. Everything is fine.

Can people stop with the same sayings or prefaces for literally everything? “Ik it’s X model or ay model at X hours but….”

Like the NAM, the thing runs for a reason, look at it, analyze it and give it the same credence you would another model. If it was useless at 72-84 it wouldn’t run. Yes, my area got screwed on that run and yes I think it matters

I mean, I wouldn’t give the JMA, KMA, or NAVGEM much credence. All models aren’t equal.

If my area got hammered by the 84 hour NAM I still wouldn’t think it mattered lol

Yep it's precip output at this range is almost 100% useless. But i don't think the nam is going to be alone in giving your local snow.

Yeah, unless the GFS is on the ball with starting this evolution to the north, there's going to be a chance of snow showers down to the coast.

I'm really hoping it's wrong, but I'm scared it's right. Just have major trust issues with dealing with an ULL due to the past.
 
Mets or knowledgeable hobbyists, is that RGEM run basically the best possible scenario for snowfall in all of GA, SC, and NC?

I can’t imagine that there is a superior setup in which all 3 states basically win in some way.

Man it feels like we're up 28-3 and you can almost smell this thing locking in.

I mean that might not be good for Atlanta but you cant win 'em all.

This will never end until we win a Superbowl, which means I've accepted it's never going to end. I told my son he doesn't want this life. I'm trying to break the generational struggle lol.

Don’t worry, the Panthers have never won one, either. Perhaps it will never happen. :(

At least we’ve never been up 28-3 in the Super Bowl, but we did lose to Brady on a last second FG.

Not everyone can read the models. I get no banter but responses like this doesn’t encourage anyone to ever try to participate.

The issue was a member asked if it was gonna snow in AL/GA in an event thread. I suggested them looking at the models on TT and PW.

I've seen so many legitimate questions about how to read model data get clown reacts and ignored.

I don't understand how "is it going to snow in my backyard" isn't banter in an event thread. It is low effort and there isn't even any attempt at learning being made.
