I like the CMC. Keep the snow south for now!! gFS is obviously not gonna happen but a big storm is definitely looking possible
The GFS is possible, those highs will be putting pressure on that low causing tight pressure gradient, intensifying the low. With the Gulf surface waters warm, we could see a big winter storm, it's possible. The SER was a big help at keeping those surface water temps warm.

Looks like freezing rain in Atlanta. Not sleet. The DGZ is dry.

You mean just ZR? That would be horrific and people would die.  I want no part of that.

Starts as snow, ends as snow.. But the main juice looks to be ZR at KFTY. In fact, like .953" of liquid accumulation at KFTY, downtown Atlanta. And i'm thinking it'll be all freezing rain for some time if that DGZ is dry.

You might be able to get IP from that that's a decent cold nose below the warm layer but it's so close and the warm layer is so thick you are right ZR would be favored

What does he mean by the "pattern"?

then he doesn't need to look at the GEFS either

Here is 12Z ukmet. Not as amped/strong as GFS is. Looks more in line with 0z euro/12z CMC from what I can tell with the  24hr panels.

It is but with the addition of CAD from that high not too far away, which neither the 12Z CMC nor the 0Z Euro have. With this low's track that far south, I wouldn't be surprised if IP and especially ZR would be well south into central GA/SC on this 12Z UKMET. Anyone have the 144?

I'm not sure what he means by pattern. The pattern doesn't tell the models to make the low more aggressive. The GFS is being aggressive because of the setup. The other models should catch on.

I guess the northern stream pressing into the lakes and shearing the system.

JB is essentially resorting to wishcasting lol :p

Yep, lol. I love it when he forecasts a big one in the Mid-Atlantic & NE US because it usually doesnt verify, but even a blind squirrel finds a nut.

[/quote] but yet he was calling for possible snow few days ago lol
 
GEFS snow mean has really increased. Much further south and east with its coverage.  I would imagine some really good individual members that look similar to the op.
