I imagine before this winter is over the only area that will not get a decent snowstorm will be upstate SC. Charlotte, Raleigh, Columbia and the state of Tennessee will end up with decent snow, but not the GSP metro.
 
A little bit of a warmup here this morning. Getting a 20 degree reading on my car thermometer. Time to break out the shorts and flip flops
 
Anyone been to Cataloochi this season? Thinking about stopping by on the way to the Indian Casino next week
 
Someone really should give some consideration to starting a "Winter Cancel" thread lol. See if that disappears too. (I do want two weeks off from the cold though)
 
This is becoming more and more of an issue... not good..
It's what happens when mission creep; ignoring infrastructure, spending 100's of millions of dollars on "research" rather than protecting lives and property and political agenda's were allowed to overtake agencies.
 
When someone gets a chance, this site probably needs to be in the Wiki. I'm not sure on the forecasting aspect, but it has lots of other good stuff on it:

Something tells me it might even be a current/former NWS employee's site but idk.
 
Oh well ...

We can live with that. Throw a little banana high in there and it's on

By the looks of the map, looks like our Arctic air will be in southeast Canada which is money. Easy to access
 
^That's actually not all that bad for February, I was expecting worse.

I have to agree. After all, this is a La Nina year. We can't expect it to be cold all the way but I don't think this upcoming moderation period is the end. Seems like this might end up being a drier 10/11 to me.

Believe it or not, that's a great look in my opinion. The west seems to have a higher heat focus, so I would think a good tall pacific ridge is in store, which means a good storm pattern. That also seems to scream the return of the SER for some time, but not too much. Seems like we will have an even split of SER days and cold days almost, likely leaning toward more SER days or above average days. That dip looks like where the trough will set up, and that looks ideal for another storm in the upper south. At this rate, I think I may take my word back about another big storm not happening in Atlanta or the area. It seems like not only January has a shot at another storm, but maybe February too. Just have to watch to see if this changes a lot.
 
Truly don't think Mack (or any of the more recent people to come over from American that weren't at the "other place" in the past) have been that bad. It's a shame what American has turned into to me honestly. I remember in the past, especially when it was Eastern and in the "old days of American" it was mostly weather analysis and while I liked reading there I would have never felt like I could fit in (not even now, when I know a lot more). Now? It's a weenie fest consistently mixed in with some good posts...

Wasn't making a forecast but just showing a map that looks a tad bit AN ... ;)
... and I put it in Banter for a very specific reason ... :cool:
