Wintry 1/9-12 Winter Potential Great Dane or Yorkie

I'm baffled why surface temps aren't being modeled colder for this storm. yesterday globals were showing anywhere from 27 to 33 during the height of the storm for me... They've actually warmed a bit today and the range is 29-32.. if you take out the cmc they are all showing 31-32.

I just find that hard to buy when looking at the temps as the fronto band arrives... I feel like we should be dropping to 27-28 at least. Curious to see if the NAM does that this afternoon since it'll finally be in range.
Totally agree. It would be one thing if the cold llv airmass was very shallow and marginal but it's not. In fact it's quite deep and cold. For example, gfs has 950mb temps cooling to -3c by 18z friday over north ga and sc.....with the canadian as low as -4c. So im certain the models are wrong showing so little cooling. More than likely temps should settle to between 26 to 29..which would mean areas north of i 20 should stay subfreezing through the storm. Any depiction showing plain rain by the end over northern ga/sc is wrong imho

Yall that Hrrr run has me spooked. Someone talk me off the ledge. At least it's going to be cold I guess with that strong northern trough dropping in.
the Northern being faster is better, i thought. We want it faster to merge further East. The big totals out west were with it merging further west and being slower....again im prolly off on that

It may have been a great run for Eastern NC... but might be too much of a good thing... There may be no storm at all with that hrrr look if it kept going out.
 
That HP is a touch stronger and a little further west this run of the Nam. Not sure the implications if any that will have on the 850's

Few on here want to see this trend continue.
Only way anyone would want that trend to continue is if we fix our cold air source in the Atlantic. The more amped this is in Texas, the worse it is for us. That's why no one should be worrying about moisture issues in my opinion.
