Wintry 1/20 - 1/23 Winter Storm

Y’all are playing with fire putting this suppression stuff into the universe with the cold air that’s coming.

Well, to be fair, I thought the storm that is going to happen today/tomorrow was going to be a bit suppressed because of what I remember from one of the last La Nina's, and yet...

The CMC has me with a HIGH below 32 on Saturday next week.

Crazy.
 
Local office here also forecasting rain next Friday but it is a week out so I am sure if the models keep threatening snow they will change up....

Friday
A chance of rain. Partly sunny, with a high near 39. Chance of precipitation is 30%.


The overall look is great for central and eastern NC, this is how we get our bigger snow's here.....really from Jan 19-25th there could be a low that gives us a storm....we gonna need it after getting goose egged tomorrow....though I will gladly exchange ice for a pure snow event...

Lol, just nuts...
 
Eh, we have a winter storm in the 20s coming up tomorrow. no -NAO could mean amplification/NW trends, bring on suppression
I feel you but my biggest worry is another January 2018 where it’s snowing on King St in Chas and it’s partly sunny here.
 
The last time I can recall being in the "bullseye" zone for a snowstorm 7 days out and it worked out was in February 2010. The other times (and there have been numerous) I've been in the bullseye 7 days or so out; it hasn't worked out.

I love the pattern and the energy in the atmosphere, but I've been burnt too many times lately in this scenario. Color me (extremely) cautiously optimistic.

Yea I’m done with anything outside of 3 days. Been years and I mean years since we’ve seen snow modeled 7 days out
 
This setup is how we snow big in central and especially eastern NC for sure, gotta keep the pingers out of it or at least only deal with them for a few hrs.....back in Dec 2000 we had pingers at the height of the storm but I mean half dollar flakes and BB size pingers raining down with almost no vis was AWESOME lol.....I will take that anytime...this isnt fantasy range either inside of 7 days almost...just need that cold press to be legit.....the setup would give a good 3-5 days window for something to come along and give us a storm.
 
Keep in mind that the snow in the NE is from another system beforehand.

Which is so good, I’m more interested in this storm than the one occurring tonight and tomorrow it will be more snow and cold air to work with up there to bring down.
