Misc Cold Season Complaining

Tomorrow's make or break. The energy will be at verification so if we go the way we are, lights out for ATL and the CAD regions most likely.

I'll either hope it'll be sleet, plain rain or maybe nothing at all. .25 to .50 of ice would be devastating in upstate SC after Helene. I imagine there are lots of weak trees and limbs that this much ice would bring down. The snow is probably not happening where I am but freezing rain with temps of 28-30 could easily happen.

The amount of effort and time spent over two weeks to track what will end up being an inch of snow, maybe, is honestly astonishing.

It really should not be this hard or uncommon to get an inch of snow.

For me this is a pivotal moment for the future of the hobby. We’ve been trying to get the monkey off our back for three years and the decade before that wasn’t very kind to us either. It just feels like this is a make or break moment for a lot of us. Mentally and emotionally. We deserve better and I think we’ll have a stretch of good years where we do better. Soon. But we need this one first, no matter what it looks like.

Why I'm upset is that before my lifetime CLT never had a winter where there hasn't been at least a trace of snow.

Now during my lifetime there has been three. Regardless of what people's opinions are of the causes, the climate is changing, most of the big dogs ppl reminisce about either happened before my lifetime, or happened when I was too young to remember it. Each year seems to be the warmest on record, each winter seems to be getting warmer. Let's be honest, there might never be a February 2004 or a January 1988 ever again. And events such as February 2014 will just become much rarer, and rarer.

Also, there's the fact that nothing is guaranteed in life and there's always a chance I won't be around next winter, so I take each storm with the attitude, "this might be my last" because again the future isn't guaranteed.

Anyway, congrats Arkansas, I guess I'll take a slightly more sleety December 2002 redux lol

Not many on here want to think about this but it is true. Those days are over. Charlotte and most of upstate SC will probably not get over 5 inches of snow in 1 event ever again. Maybe Raleigh too.

I mean we started the yorkie thread New Year’s Eve it’s got like 300 pages. I have lived seven lives since then and I’m gonna be ballistic if I get more than an inch of snow. Must mean I have issues upstairs

It has been 10 years since most of the area south of I-85 has had 5+ in one event. This one is not doing it for those areas. Highway 11 and north may do it this time, but that is only a small part of upstate SC.
 
I do still wonder what’s going on with the euro ai. I mean widespread 4-6 and a streak of 6-8 that keeps moving east is crazy. I mean it’s been going on with this for DAYS and been crazy consistent. I mean I haven’t seen a model so consistent before especially seeing all the models making such wild changes around it.

I’m not certain the 4-6 contour on there isn’t a similar situation to TT maps counting all frozen as snow.

I, for one, welcome our new AI overlords
 
My NWS forecast is steadily going down yesterday 3-5, this morning 2-4, then 1-3 and now 1-2. If it would just stop there I would be ok but I know where it ends up.

Brent might see 24” of snow in less than a week while we all fight over who gets the fgen sleet band. That man is a ****ing menace to this weather board right now lol

Maybe it’s not the NC folks who are the noise. It’s Brent. Always Brent.

Brent Brent Brent. I see a chair covered in snow, I think Brent. That is Brent, right? lol.

I think what we're seeing here tonight is what happens when we don't have a true blocking high to the north like we had in 2022 and 2011. Having to rely on N/S interaction to provide our cold is very iffy and temperamental. We have cold air, yes, but without the blocking high any WAA is going to make in roads and yield rain or mixing. This storm shows how we can still score without one but it is a lot more difficult. As the low becomes stronger there is no blocker to keep it south or to provide a fresh cold feed.

Looking at the inland runners tonight I am reminded of the GFS runs a couple of days ago that kept taking the low through CAE. Maybe that was the right track all along.

If things are so bad when is our buddy CJ gonna start talking about it. Heck is talking about upping totals lol
 
Looks like my excitement for this storm is taking a turn for the worse I wish for once I could see a good snow storm especially after moving all the way from south Alabama all the way near the Tennessee state line… Brad travis lowered the snow totals here in Hazel green smh
 
Wonder what I-20 impacts will end up being after the amounts slowly have been decreasing, hopefully enough to get me a day off

I’d say if it’s anything remotely close to possible issues most places down there won’t risk it
