Seriously though it's cool if people choose to chase and report back and ask questions regarding where to go. It's really not constructive to the thread to reminisce about your chase or previous chases or talk about future chases mid event. It's just going to bother folks

I took this about 2pm. It's absolutely gorgeous for a major snowfall for GA and both Carolinas. Snow all the way down to Jackson Mississippi. This looks like a classic radar from the 80s. Still hard to believe it's not going to deliver. I would take this radar 100 out of 100 times.

The overdone, dark vignette really emotes the devastating lameness of the situation.

I can agree with you on the Texas and Mississippi but Central Alabama hasn’t really had a real winter storm and yesterday wasnt really anything but token flakes besides some folks getting a surprise inch of snow but Tuscaloosa hasn’t had accumulated snow since 2017

So that means that Charleston and Savannah(Jan 2018) had a winter storm slightly more recently than central AL(Dec 2017)? If that's the case, then wow, they have much worse luck with winter weather than what I would've expected.

I'm convinced that the mega PV last year was what screwed us. We made a couple of attempts to get things going WRT blocking and it got chopped off.

Also we had the lack of a +PNA/-EPO in recent years. Usually the severe cold that we saw from TX-MS usually makes to the Carolina's, even if it get modified sometimes. The fact the cold didn't make here at all was very puzzling. It tells me that the +PNA/-EPO is probably more important for the eastern SE than the -NAO/-AO, while the -AO/-NAO might be more important for the western SE than the +PNA/-EPO. From what I seen, the +PNA usually prevents the western cold dump that we just saw this week and the -EPO often times brings cross polar flow into the US. The PV could help us. Just depends on the location. If it's over the great Lakes or far SE Canada, or New England, the Eastern SE can do very well with such set up(often caused by eastern pacific blocking),however if PV is over MN or the ND, then the SE ridge appears and the cold/winter storms end up west of the mountains just like we saw this week.

That’s the reason why I moved to Montana even though it was mostly job wise but Tuscaloosa is not the best place to be winter wise I can recall how many times I had to witness getting a cold rain while areas north of I-20 gotten butt loads of snow 2015 was definitely the one

I have very bad memories of 2015. It was horrible for I-20 folks.
 
See this is why I left Tuscaloosa because memories like this knowing you can be so close to seeing it snow with temps in the 30s and areas close to you north and west of you getting winter weather While you wishing and praying that you finally don’t have to continue to see cold rain
