This is a side effect of being a social media company. Gotta learn to ignore the negative, if your business model is relying on FB/Twitter for traffic.

No and if Upstate gets in on that one, it will be an ice storm, And who wants that
Yikes. I wish we got that mystery low, though!

I signed up 20 people. Surprised there not referral bonus money
I could be on my on here but I don’t think want anymore of the sloppy mess we had yesterday. I want a big one with multiple inches of snow or I’m good.
Is this like the old whamby thread? I like that name better. Even though I don't know what whamby means.

I don’t mind sloppy, but it can’t be weak sauce, light and sloppy. .5 inches storm with sleet and freezing rain like this last event really isn’t very eventful, gone in a few hours. One inch+ storm is another story and could be fun and impactful.
If we have the pleasure of getting another threat, I’m removing the doubt and chasing wherever the nam tells me to go.

Seeing Snow Melt is up there with taking all the Christmas decorations down for me. Anticipate and love Winter wx, Christmas always. Hate to see em come an go so fast.
Beatifull winter evening out. Nice fresh artic breeze, little white ground lyeing around under the Moonlight an stars.
Ill take whatever winter wx nature throws my way. But im ready to big dog chase. Roll the dice on Jan 20-25. I can roll up the road an be on the blue ridge parkway in 90 mins if mby ends up missing.

Which model preformed the best during the snow storm? I know they all probably had some things right and other things wrong. Overall which ones came the closest to what actually happened?

Nah…. Give me impactful. 3-4” SN / 1” Sleet / 1/4- 1/2” FRZN. Now that’s impactful

This past event took a lot of me after tracking for 2 weeks, but I feel that we will be rewarded for our efforts in the next one.
This is a Mitch nightmare @Mitch West 
Problem is it’s almost always the same boundary. A lot of those look exactly like what we just got done tracking for days.
looks like the Mid January 2018 storm. Go look at the snow map for the Southeast on that one.
Couldn’t have said it any better. We still have a few folks in our neighborhood who kept up their Christmas lights and seeing them on with the snow was amazing. First time my kids have ever seen that. It was kind of fitting in a way after so long with no frozen precipitation that we got the whole spread last night. I wasn’t disappointed because I knew what to expect going in. Was pleased to see several hours of pure snow and don’t think we could have done much better around these parts. Wasn’t our pattern! Agreed on the big dog, I’m ready wherever I’ve gotta go. It’s time.
Ok, so yesterday was day one, today is day 2, still plenty of snow on the ground for day three tomorrow, so doesn’t the old folklore promise more?

And still can't get a decent snow
Hey that's reality for SC
(Sorry, I'm a bit cynical right now)
No shot a snow with the upcoming setup. I’m sure that we will get a 850mb firehose before long and will push any chance of snow to at least Memphis and probably Brent. But, we can always hope for. A miracle.
It worked last time….

I have a bad feeling that next week will be a Lucy.

It could be -25 in Atlanta and Ipstate would still get sleet!
I guess the biblical cold was delayed , not denied! My 2 days of 20 degrees below normal, I may not come out alive!

I will say that when we are gloating about hitting 60 in the south during winter, it has been cold. Hahaha

Those 700mb warm noses!
Man you should have seen the live coverage from TR. They didn’t know how to handle that warm nose. You would think it was the first time any of them had seen a sleet pellet. Welcome to the show!

That ICON run would've been a winter storm for a lot of people if it went out further

I honestly could use a brief warmup at this point. I feel OK now, but was feeling a bit rough earlier this morning and my chest was hurting a bit (it's respiratory related).
Don't know if hitting 60 would be enough, but it'll have to do.
Of course, even though I'm asking for this, I think brief warmup, only to have temps crash lower quickly afterward is going to probably kill the battery in my car. It's felt like it's been barely starting to me on the really cold days.
My dad was saying this morning that this is the coldest he's seen it since I was a senior in high school, but I think he's one year too early. I'm pretty sure he's remembering 13/14, and as of right now, the max average high temperature is actually a touch lower than what it was in January 2014.

Fortunately I park my vehicle majority of its time in the garage. The times I haven't had the luxury this winter or any winter previously I always hook up a battery support to get the voltage back up in the battery before starting. Our SUV is from 2003 with over 260k miles and Ive only had the change the battery twice over the last 12 years. Cold definitely drains the starting voltage in car batteries. Battery support helps build the voltage backup and once it reads close to 13 volts it starts right up as long as there are no other issues within the cars system. Wired battery support units that plug into an outlet are cheaper but investing in a good one either wired or battery pack are valuable assets to have in your car.
