Really, just seeing some snow fall with this one would be a win. Hope we get more chances at some bigger storms down the road.
 
my camping trip to Brevard, NC is looking great. Leaving CLT around 1:30 tomorrow...should be driving through a decent flizzard for much of the way with a few hours left of snow showers while I set up camp!
 
I hope the new member named "storm5andSDsucks" is just being funny. If I had the power he would dumped otherwise.
 
Looking into short range models hers 15z RAP. First image is 08Z (3am est) seeing some mixing AL/GA border into SW Atlanta. Second image is 10Z so 5am as batch of snow or rain/snow mix moves into Atlanta. Last image is 12z (7am) as snow begins to fill in back West over SE LA into MS and border of Alabama. I don't really know how well RAP been these days compared to HRRR or other short term guidance.

is the moisture/precip field right now in texas much larger and further north than models predicted?

the snow flurries reported around here were definitely a surprise, but the air is very dry here so I'm not really sure how much will survive the trip east

It's looks like it may be but I'm not sure how much of that is virga haven't checked any reporting stations.

CC is north of brownsville it appears to me the real world weather is 50 to 100 miles north of where the models predicted it to be at this time

When was the last time that happened? Places in the northeast haven’t even seen a sleet pellet yet. Nice. We should be happy with whatever we get.

Probably Christmas 2004. That's the benchmark down there. First time since the 1800s Brownsville measured snow
 
Some folks take this stuff too seriously. Not as much as the other place, though.
 
Just saw the 3k nam has a nice stripe of snow Saturday afternoon here.... I'm back in

it appears something is dropping south through new mexico and snow is starting to expand there heading towards the already snowing areas of texas
 
While I understand reminding posters that those clown maps won't verify, I've done it, and friendly reminder to temper expectations I do take exception to the post that come across as how you must take this, or what you must consider a win... not a fan

In other words remind someone to temper expectations don't demand it...

That's rich, the guy that is always criticizing others for being too pessimistic is saying some people take this too seriously! :rolleyes:

Exhibit A. If you're pessimistic all the time that's actually taking it too seriously instead of just being hopeful and seeing what happens. So is being snarky and a jerk on a message board about weather, which we have no control over.
 
That's enough guys. Even though this is the banter thread, we won't tolerate personal attacks.
 
NOT trying to start anything but must say those referring to "climo" as if it is some force that controls the weather, please understand the "climo" or climate is just a set of STATISTICS, the average of the weather stats from the previous 30 years for a given area, the "climo" is not a force and has NO control over any weather event.

That may be true. But when it doubt always go with climo.
 
I'm wondering if the weather services will start having to play catch up if the models continue to trend this way.

The other board is now the "other" board for me. A lot more traffic here now. The only thing missing are some mets from the other board.

Over time, I am sure they will find their way over. Speaking of that, if there are any mets or students of meteorology registered here, let us know so we can get your account setup.

I just logged on through PC, I like that holiday banner!

Thanks, itt's just a quick thing, I am likely working on some other things to make it more festive as we get closer to the holiday season. Don't want to do too much while we are so active!

I feel left out. What about me? If they want to register with that name, so be it. If they start making troll posts, then it's a problem. They just wanted our reaction anyway, which they just got.

Well Brick, people love their snow in the Southeast. Although, I do see this when it comes to severe weather too.

i freely admit i take life threatening weather conditions as a serious thing......

Thankfully (or not, depending on your preference), ground level temperatures are warm and it shouldn't be a large problem with travel. Of course, that could change.
 
Okay, so I see a lot of posts being removed from the storm thread. For those of you having your posts removed, don't take it personally. Our mods are doing a great job trying to keep the information relevant for those who are just now catching up and trying to figure out what's going to happen with the weather.

With that said, if you think your post has been deleted in error, let us know over here.
