Excuse my French, but the ---- riding in the main thread is becoming unbearable. Live and let live u guess.

Back on topic: when is it supposed to rain again? Hopefully soon because my yard is starting to
dry out. Drought conditions?

Never. Your punishment is nothing ever again. You get a 1 mile wide umbrella over your house.
 
It's not really that, certainly people who are smart enough to figure out most of what I say actually need to patient and because they aren't are having a selective bias to see everything wrong with infinitesimal details that rarely mean anything this far out in a large-scale pattern. It's little better than the people who get frustrated over not seeing fantasy storms on every single operational model run over 7-10 days out.
OK
 
I've used the ignore button for the second time in 15 years of weather forums. Congrats to the lucky person, you are in elite company.
I probably shouldn't disclose this but I currently have six on ignore and there's another 3 or 4 candidates in the running. It's the only way I can come in here during these times when there aren't winter storm threats. I'm a forgiving guy though, when things settle down I'll revisit the list ;)
 
If we get deep into the 3rd week of February, we haven't scored or aren't about to score, & I don't see at least a good pattern leading us thru early March, then I can understand being impatient...

I think by that point there will be a strong movement to remove our met tags lol.

Your statement may hold true for the upper south, but i think the areas in the DEEP south probably should start worrying around Jan 31 if there's nothing on the horizon then.
 
Ok here we go guys. ???? I decided to start a gofundme page so I can raise money to buy 2 of the WeatherFlow Smart Home Weather Station. One for here in Hartselle, Alabama and the other one for Minor Hill, Tennessee. I like to study the difference between the 2 homes. For instance when spring hits. Here in Hartselle the leaves tend to leaf out about 2 weeks earlier then it does in Minor Hill. Same thing when it comes to fall. If I get enough raised I will link both location to my name so all the forum can also keep up with things also. I have done research on quite a few of the weather stations and determine this would work best for this forum and me. Here is the link for the go fund me page.https://www.gofundme.com/weather-st...board_a&rcid=fee482d397634e6088129bddf76b6d74

Good luck on the endeavor! I love mine, have it on Weather Underground here! Probably the best $300 I've spent on something like this.
 
Well at least we had that early December storm, still a record breaker for many, especially the triad, sucks that there was WAA, when I started to hear the sound of sleet mixing in, that pissed me off lol even when I knew it would happen
 
In all honesty this thread has actually gotten funny, it's reminding me of the old accuweather days, just with a bit more weather talk in it (I'm talking about what the Everything Else was).

Yea I defitnely need 2 of them. Cause sometimes I seen it pouring down rain in Alabama and just 60 miles north in southern Tennessee house it can be pouring snow.

I'm not sure this board would make it that long. By Valentine's day the board may collapse like a black hole

Sometimes I selfishly hope this will happen again when people are so impatient. I was in Benson, NC right in the 4" totals. My NCSU meteorology friends were almost in tears when I got to class the next day and showed them the pictures lol. The only time in my life I've been under the heaviest banding.

Nah by then we would have thrown some members in a black hole to save ourselves. At least there is some promising look ahead. Better than looking dead in the eyes of a torching SER.

I wouldn’t say that because In the end we have a good pattern shaping up so I would say even if you live in the “deep south” you still have a chance. And nothing is set and stone so everyone in the south has just a good of chance as each other in terms of winter weather. We all just need to remember to be patient or this winter will end up killing us.
 
What would the blog do if this ever happened again.

For the first one, I'd say there would be all these posts about not getting another flake the remainder of winter, and the last 2 would be mass hysteria and pictures of flowers and snow. Of course all who would say we would have nothing all winter would quietly back into the shadows of their denying posts they probably would've made. There would be some epic meltdowns in the areas that are on the gradient edges for sure.

I've lived in the deep south all my life except for the last year and I always consider Valentine's Day the cutoff for winter, even in a cold winter. After Feb 14, there has to be some kind of crazy fluke in order to get snow like 1993, 2009, etc. So unless something crazy happens, the deep south has 4 weeks left.

LOL 3rd week of February??? I’ve had like 4 lows below freezing since Christmas. Couple that with the blockbuster great white buffalo cold and snow almost every major Met was forecasting and there is little time left for patience. If everyone’s head doesn’t explode by the 3rd week in February then they are either hopeless snow goobers or they’re just getting their guidance from to the wrong people
 
It would be cool to get some convective snow showers to form in the foothills/mountains then sag southeastward, it happened in January 2013 not 2015, in 30 minutes I got a inch of snow and the clouds had a summertime look to it, congested cumulus and even some tiny anvils, really rare but that upper level system did cause some sbcape and when those bands hit you your temps dropped from the mid 40s to the low 30s

Ok well cut what I said about the Deep South they have a slightly smaller chance but I wouldn’t say they have a 0% chance after Valentine’s Day

It's crazy how climo dramatically goes downhill along I-20 after Valentine's Day. First 2 weeks of Feb have had some great storms but after that it gets significantly less likely.
 
Going wayyyyy out on a limb here ... it's gonna snow ...
Relax folks ...
Hell, even going further out on that limb as I saw it off at the trunk ... it's gonna snow and stick for 3 days in Gainesville (not GA, either) ...
So, unbutton ... ;)
 
It would be awesome to see that kind of snow around those dates in this day and age. I don't know if that would even be possible now, given where we are climate-wise.

I don't either but last year clearly tried to make it happen, it snowed as far south as Fayetteville at the beginning of the 2nd week of April.

This modern, relatively unknown gem in mid Apr 1989 clearly suggests it still can. In areas w/ much worse climo than RDU a week & a half later in the spring 4-5" of snow fell in the tidewater region. Most people who don't study winter storms this closely will often underestimate the window of legitimate internal variability possible in a given climate.
