It shouldn’t be named if schools aren’t going to be closed. This should be a non issue event for most. NW Ga might have issues but it’s a non event. GDOT hasn’t talked about preping roads as of last night. I have a friend that works for GDOT and they are no impressed yet.

I guarantee you schools will be closed in some areas on Tuesday, even with it being a very light event. GA can't even handle a dusting of snow. Kinda pathetic. Honestly it wouldnt surprise me if some schools are delayed or even closed on Wednesday too. If there is even one little slick spot on some rural highway they will shut schools down.

What’s funny? As of the NWC showing trace to 1in it’s not a major event were preparation need to be made. That’s my point. Things can change. Maybe non event is to strong.

Atlanta is so close to having a snow jam episode.
 
Got tons of Robins on the ground. They usually don't lie...Also had a bunch of tiny birds covering the ground earlier...:p;)

I agree it’s close, I’m more talking about the information being put out by Mets and the Weather Service. Was Snow Jam the same set up as this one?

Not the same set up, but the same early problems. Mets saying it will not be much of an issue for ATL, then everybody goes to work and the system over performs a bit. Everyone stranded. It was only and inch or two of snow then as well.
 
I’m really excited for NC! Glad the floozy v 3 gives the Piedmont 2-5” , I was worried they wouldn’t get to add to their winter totals of 12-15”
 
Well, I'm a bit deflated. What an absolute fail January and February will turn out to be. I'm simply not paying attention to any long range forecasts or models any further. They simply hold no value no matter how knowledgeable the analyst. Every supposed long range model and climate condition was in our favor, yet it's not. Modoki nino's not a nino, SSW didn't help (probably will in late March). MJO stayed all of one week in the favorable phases. Weeklies are awful trolls. Just disappointed and coming to the realization I've been hoodwinked again. :( Oh well, moving on.

This winter is abysmal now north Alabama which was looking good all week gets the shaft on snow lol what a cruel joke
 
Not feeling good at all about Tuesdays system. Seems like its pretty much over at this point with maybe some areas getting an inch. 2 inch jackpot somewhere possibly. Otherwise this will be a very forgettable snow event.
 
Very little to no change on the eastern ridge after the western ridge breaks down through the end of the run on the GEFS. Turn the lights out on winter and honestly preferably dry out at this point for a bit.

We might get a dusting if were lucky lol boy this was hyped up and to let us down again
 
Still don’t understand why anyone would forcast a BN winter. 6 out of past 8 winters have been AN in the east. BN is few and far between if your going off 1980-2010 normals.

I think you could still get an inch, maybe slightly more if it slows down. But theres such a small window for snow ( maybe 3 hours?) that its really hard to get much more than an inch.

Because they are idiots and hug analogs that are no longer relevant when they should step outside.

We have low standard compared to yours, so we will remember a 2 inch snow if it's extremely heavy.

I think its 1981-2010 not 1980-2010? When the 1991-2020 normals start being factored in it should be easier to get some BN winters.
 
Robert @ WxSouth has been quiet lately!? What up with that??
 
Everybody except the farmer's almanac is going to swing and miss on this winter, which is ironic since it's usually not considered highly. I wouldn't have seen what Bastardi saw, but I thought we'd have something similar to 13/14 to a lesser extent. Instead, we basically didn't even have a Nino (it was very very weak), which would've muted the MJO's effects, then we also had the SOI at sky high levels.

2 inch would be slightly memorable but even in GA 1 inch is not that unusual. In rare cases like 2014 2 inches can be very memorable, but for the most part a 2 incher isnt one that will be remembered.
 
It really comes down to one thing that is going to lead to everybody's long range forecast busting. This winter for the most part did not behave like a typical Nino.
