seems likely another garbage storm for Atlanta. especially folks NW of. lame!

getting real grumpy, but i'm cheering for my Carolina peeps. (while muttering obscenities under my breath). just better deliver for the biggest snow drought sufferers over there!

i guess i'll go fish and see if any other potential exists (chime in if ya already know). before the pattern is completely lost. hoping us GA and bama folks get something good before winter's end.

man this sucks!

I feel you! it sucks and I think they are not going to get all of that. Especially, when it is go time. Congrats to them! I think that b*tch a** ice storm was it for us. I will say this though. An ULL is a weatherman's woe. It has a mind of its own. let just see how this plays out.
 
I’m just trying to figure out how I get 14” of snow out of thin air from a ULL that’s coming over a 6,000 foot mountain pass
slight weenie statement here but the presence of a 0.75"+ QPF band somewhere in the carolina piedmont is very doable, i just shudder to think of being the poor soul right next to it that gets 0.21"

Yep sitting here in Paulding turning absolutely GREEN watching the cotton candy be so close yet so far away!

I’m praying RGEM and CMC are right in SOME WAY!

The main forcing is at 700mb. Then you actually have Lee-side enhancement in the low levels on the euro once you get a few miles off the mountain chain. We could get a stationary death band for a few hours on Saturday if the 500mb ball digs hard and pivots like the euro is showing.

Happened in Feb 2014. Deform band sat on me and Frosty and dropped 8" in a few hrs. Then the sun popped out and melted half of it by the end of the day, lol.

if we're gonna lose, i personally hope it delivers the dump of their dreams! I better see Mitch, Jimmy, SD, Fro, etc losing their minds. There's still a lot of joy in seeing others' joy.

but yup. ULL could pull surprise! but not putting much hope in that. just going ahead and feeling the disappointment now.
 
You and Widremann would get along well.
He annoyed everyone but to me he was a riot. I would actually hope he would go on one of his complaining tirades because it was so freaking funny. And when he really did get screwed it was the most hilarious thing ever. Absolutely legendary stuff.
 
I know him.. first met him in person in 2004 while at NCSU, along with a couple other weather nerds. Good times back then. We all posted at WWBB.
Those were some fun times on the boards. DT acting a fool. Lol! Widre pissing everyone off. Before the “banter” threads, there was no telling what you were going to read. People would go at it, then friends the next day.
 
What happened to Corey? The one who always talked about birds and stuff? He didn’t change his name to Widremann? Did he

No, back in the day there was a met that went HM. Interesting guy, but knew his stuff. I forgot his name though.
 
Widre was the type to say what we didn't want to hear, no matter the timing. Most of the time it was true though. That's what really torqued most of us off. At least that's what I got from mostly lurking back in the eastern/american days.

I dunno if I'd call it trolling per se, but if one did, at least there was some sophistication to it. 🔥
 
Random tech question. does anyone know of a way to get AFDs without the darn line breaks? It's not perfect, but I did some regex magic to clean it up.

Another question while we’re in a model break… I’m not as active on the boards as I used to be and curious, is this the same Brick? Or someone else using his name? If it is the original Brick, I’m proud of you! Lol
