Misc Cold Season Complaining

It seems like model conensus has honed in on a snow/no snow line about two counties to my south. South of that line gets a dusting to a couple inches, north of that gets nothing.

Is a two county shift in the final 60hrs too much to ask for?

No, it’s not. We’ve seen way bigger shifts in the final 60hrs.

Also on the plus side, we do have features trending the right way now.... we just need another cycle or too of similar sized shifts and we're golden.

Today is TREND DAY!

0z run tonight is last best chance to see any meaningful trends kick off if we get any.

ATL metro won't close schools Tuesday or dismiss early due to models and forecasts showing snow to the south. Then around 11am the precip shield will be further north than expected. Around 1pm as moderate snow is falling counties will dismiss students. Everyone leaves work to get their kids. 2pm traffic jam, plows and trucks cant do anything. Ground is cold, everything sticks, roads are a mess. Cars on fire. Snowmageddon 2025 is coming.

EXACTLY was happened here, too. I barely made it home after school dismissed early. I couldn’t get up my driveway. We managed to get most of the kids home but we are County system so a few had to be picked up by parents on ATVs. Both bridges closed so Northport was cut off from rest of Ttown. We were out of school the rest of the week because the stuff melting at 3pm froze by 9pm. This event encouraged our State legislation to change the wording on minimum school year. Instead of 180 days, it was changed to 1,080 hours. Systems can now set their school day longer to build in weather days or make up weather days. It also added wording that schools in areas declared “state of emergency” can apply for a waiver to have those days excused from make-up. 2014 was a monumental event in my world.

People learned their lesson from 2014. That will never happen again.

Oof now if we fall to averaging 1.3 a year then yes I'm going to move! But we're well on our way. I've had 9 inches so far in the 2020s so if no more this year that's a 1.8 average for the decade. So yeah that's well below the 90s so far.

I was being sarcastic but who knows,
I would've have never bet a dime on the last 2 winters being trace amounts back to back.
So at this point who knows!
Glad I was born when I was being a snow lover!
 
There's a real chance that the Midlands wake up, look at radar, and say "wtf?, why are their light snow reports coming out of Athens? And well, then it's too late to prepare.

I would not want to be responsible for any qpf forecasts in this whole zone right now.

I’m sure they’ll call off school to be safe.

Keep it positive as long as possible,
Our region can't lose both you and IGrxy bc the rest of us North of 85 close to NC will jump.
Your our only hope now!

Well it's a known fact NWS and WPC sees something people in here have no clue about cause what they put out has everyone in SC in snow. Now upstate not much but they do have us getting snow
 
I feel bad for those from New Orleans I bet you came for info but sure not getting it on here. Same for Georgia some areas are predicted to get 0.25” to 0.5” icing and there’s very little to read. I’m a weather nerd and rooting for you guys but don’t feel like intruding the majority who are focused on the north/west trends. I won’t be posting any maps as I feel it makes me a target from excluding certain individuals.
 
Anybody got a Rap model that looks good? I know bouncycorn will save the day before it’s all over.
 
My area had a trace of sleet accumulation on the 10th. Saw snow for 15 minutes with no accumulation because it was too light. Had about .20 ice accretion from Fz rain. Such a waste of a Cold Dec and January. Last measurable accumulating snow was Jan 2022. 3 years without anything. Huge power bills with no reward. Pissed and disappointed.

We’ve run out of room to do anything. That’s the hard pill 98% of this board is about to have to swallow. We can still expand the NW shield marginally but if this airmass is what they say it is, the cutoff will be sharp
