Wintry 1/7/17-1/10/17 Winter Storm

Seriously that's why I said FWIW when I mentioned the NAM.... truth is if we only discussed model output based off of verification we'd only discuss the Euro, maybe the GFS, UKMET within 120 hours.  What a dull place this would be.  Heck the NAM can suck within 24 hours been burned many times.  Good grief

Yeah these last couple of years have been booorrriiinnngggggg.... No severe... No winter wx. Maybe we'll get some juice soon! It sucks because i've learned soooo much since the last big event so the next one will be kinda new with the new knowledge I have gained.

I personally hope you guys down south score a few events this season. As much as I love snow I don't mind missing out on this one if my southern weather friends can score. The last two winters I've completely crushed any snow droughts from years past with about 25 inches of snow. So I'm  much more patient and willing to share the snow this season. :)
 
These storms are bound to trend in the direction of us central Alabama folks. If not then we may be going to storm5s farm haha.

[/quote]Well I think a lot of people would disagree with you, many places in Tennessee that haven't seen near 25 inches. I want to score a system as soon as possible. That said I hope everyone else can get theirs too. The central parts of the south will score a system at some point this year, they have a shot on this one also. Maybe a lot of us will see at least some snow.
 
Glenn burns just posted that the latest GFS model shows snow only in the North Georgia mountains. WTF? LOL he's using thickness 540 only. When is he going to realize that 1000-500mb thickness is not a good indicator of p-type?
 
Glenn Burns when asked about the GFS run showing ice: "Don't see any ice but certainly mountain snow [on 18z]"., What is he smoking?

All of you Atlanta folks can come up here to Dahlonega and watch the snow with me :)

Although there's a considerable amount of uncertainty wrt wintry wx in the southeastern US this upcoming week, it's pretty comforting to have not only multiple threats, but models with vastly different timing (on the order of 1-2 days or more) still resulting some snow/ice in the Carolinas...
Our first wave in the northern stream is currently deeply entrenched over the data sparse arctic ocean and far northeastern Siberia and won't arrive into the North American upper air network for another 36 hours, and we probably won't see this new data ingested into the models until Tuesday night, so there's still a lot that can (& probably will) change between now and then. The southern stream disturbance that will provide most of the attendant moisture for this first event is also still over the data sparse tropical north Pacific Ocean east of Hawaii...

He has always been the most frustrating meteorologist our area has to offer. I don't think he will ever learn. He calls everywhere in North Georgia "The Mountains".

[/quote] He can be frustrating at times but he's a legend in Atlanta. Most people love him. And honestly I think he's just as good as James Spann. Spann is the most overrated meteorologist ever.

Not true, 0.3 inches of snow was recorded in January 2016. (Jan 22nd-23rd to be more specific, I remember that because it occurred from wraparound snow.)

I recorded this with my camera that Saturday morning from my backyard.
