I would argue that its the most historic winter in at least 20 years maybe more.

Hard to argue with that, this will be Florida's third winter storm of the season for crying out loud haha.

Snow map at the end of the season is gonna be ridiculous, I guess this is why we suffered so much the last two winters.

Thanks! This is a truly historic winter that will be mentioned on this board along with the 09-10, 10-11, and 13-14 winters.

Now I'm starting to get bigger flakes, but less of them, lol. I plan on getting the numbers I had with the small flakes, but with the big flakes....then I'll have something to talk about :)

It’s a pretty good one. My temp is at 1 degree right now so I’m for sure going below zero again for the 4th or 5th time this winter. I probably only went below zero 4-5 times the entire 11 years that I lived here before this winter.

Nice to know there are a few MTGY snow weenies who are still excited. It's pouring down right now. I think I may be up for another few hours. Who needs sleep?
 
I would love to hear from someone who lives in Prattville. Looks like they are getting hammered but is it as heavy as it looks on radar ?
 
Snowfall rates are increasing in coverage just NE of Montgomery heading ENE into Western GA. Carrollton and LaGrange should be seeing moderate snowfall occurring soon or right now. Radar slowly, but surely filling back in with light dbz returns ITP of Atlanta.

one thing that's interesting is watching the banding develop on the radar and the HRRR hasn't been showing it; so some folks may have a pleasant surprise.
 
I understand that this really wasn't supposed to be that much here in my location, and I'm good with that, after we got a foot of snow in December. We have close to an inch from this system and its still snowing some. I'm curious as to what is going to make the system go boom tomorrow for NC? I hope yall overachieve and get a foot.
 
Here comes one of those heavy signals out of Montgomery. Now maybe I'll get to see what it's all about :) Right now I'm back to a bazillion tiny flakes. Can't sled unless it's on the ground, lol. Can't afford one of those new fangled air sleds....I still need an icy surface.

Well I guess that sounding that showed a little drier air 850mb from last night was correct

Case of really looks good but it's obviously was not reaching the ground or the rates did not match up with DBZ'S being shown via radar

Still a win in my book though
 
Roads starting to form a sheet of ice here in areas. I hope we can get one good band of snow in the Atlanta area. Hope people stay off the roads because the temp is dropping fast.

Enchanced southwestery winds as the base of the trough tilts and tightens up (potentially closing off).

Long story short, moisture is infiltrating the midl-evels from the Gulf and Northern SC & NC will see a little bit of Atlantic moisture also.

Tbh, height falls look good to increase frontogenesis (basically precipitation). From about North Central SC into NC.

Thanks hope everything works out for everyone in NC and SC
 
Guys. When we had the super warm prolonged fall this year I knew something good was coming for the winter :) Remember how it went from summer to an epic snowstorm? That was great :)

I wonder how many warm Winters we will have starting next year, since we've had such a cold winter this year

We have a climate change thread; and if you're not speaking on climate change as a whole, that is a good question. This is supposed to ba a La Nina year, where it is dry and warmer in the Southern United States. I think we will potentially see Neutral to weak El Nino state showing up in the upcoming couple of years and I think things will be around normal.

There are many talented members on this board that are much better with all that teleconnection and long range stuff than I. Definitely check out our long range pattern threads, and the Enso thread we have going on!

Once we move out of this Winter, it will be focused on more because it has to deal with hurricane season etc.

Yeah just a general statement. Not for the global warming thread. Was half joking since it seems like its been years waiting on a winter like this.
