Misc Cold Season Complaining

Ah...here we go again.

I was trying to take a little bit of break from focusing on weather models for a bit as well (still probably will try). Just looked at the GEFS overall pattern and skipped looking at the individual ensembles.

Anyway, I'll say what I said probably two weeks ago (edit: just involving the GFS), just give me half of what the Euro depicted this afternoon and then I'll be happy for the typical Nina to take over in February.
 
Won't be fooled by fantasy maps but at least we know there is potential. Here was the one before our last storm.

1988 loading on the euro

Moved it here to keep the forum moderators happy and to keep that thread solely on the pattern and model recognition.
88 was one for the ages.
I was a senior in HS that year and it was epic.
Hit the entire board but was outstanding N of 85.
I was living in the same general area then as I do now but we were on the S side of Paris mountain.
It began snowing around 5:30 am that morning and preceded to snow the next 12-14 hours heavily.
The temp was 18° when it started but quickly settled down to 12° and stayed there the remainder of the storm at GSP.
GSP ended with around 15 inches maybe 16.
But we had close to 20 imby that bc we were on the South facing slope of Paris mountain.
Due to orientation of the storm and the over running it quickly piled up.

It stuck immediately,
They were calling for 1-3 which was normal back then,
We had 3 inches before 7 am.
They kept adjusting to the next 3 inch range till we got to 12+.
It was glorious!
Been chasing that storm since!
Snow stayed on the ground where I lived for a month if memory serves.
We missed 3 plus weeks of school.
To the point that they started to talk about Sat school & going into June.
This coming off the 87 foot storm the year before.
87 was a much warmer storm but still epic.
Also the storm in 88 was during a La Nina if memory serves.
It's all about timing.
Had to share that,...

The Euro created Feb 1899 part 2. Heavy Snow with temperatures in the teens to low 20s would be sight to behold. I still say this upcoming pattern favors areas west of the Apps, but give me what the Euro is showing and I would be set for next 2-3 years when it comes to snowfall.

Great story. I was 9 living in Rutherford County (I live about 6 miles East of where I was then.
88 was the best storm ever and I have also been chasing that one ever since.

That is one storm I recall we knew as coming fairly far out. Also the 2002 Jan storm as well. At least a week

I can add 2/12/10 as well. I gambled starting a thread on a defunct forum several days out and won.

I'd prefer this get within 7 days now, but there's enough of a signal to say something can probably happen in this time frame.

Amazing southern slider storm, I was 25 at the time and it ranks in my top 5. From Oklahoma to the Carolina’s recording 8” to 14” of snow with all the upper southern states receiving those amounts. I’ve never seen a storm that covered such a large geographical location with those snow smounts.
 
Lol, I'm halfway tempted to start a Gulf of Mexico/America thread just to see how long it takes to get locked. (not IF it gets locked, but when) But I don't won't to give that headache to the mods. Hopefully they'll be busy with the upcoming pattern anyways..

BTW, my guess would be under 48 hours. 😏
 
Technically we’re due here in Nc …. I was born in 1991, 1993, 2004, 2014 ….. so ummmm You do the math. That being said, the last 3yrs of pain…. Would you sign up again for 3 more if I told you that map would verify with no sweat?

N GA - SC upstate -Murphy to Manteo 12-20” ? The deal is though, for 3 yrs after we have to watch VA/TN get hammered over and over while SE ridge bloodies our nose yearly for 3 months. So , yes or no?

This is kinda tough but I think yes
 
Beautiful here in Hot Springs Arkansas if anyone is going to AMS New Orleans I recommend stopping!
 
How about a thread where people can share their Twitter/ticktock handles if they choose to? The power of social media and all

Nah I wouldn’t do that. I’d prefer more regular moderate 4 inch storms, once or twice a winter.
