Misc Cold Season Complaining

You are going to learn around here no one cares about your backyard and if you take the L they will dunk on your grave. Also, not all of us in NC have seen "snow" 30 minutes last weekend counts but still 3 years no accumulating snow in my yard

Make it through this week, and Spring is right around the corner. February should feel good!
The nature of this air mass is not going to allow the low to track much if any further north imo. We just need more dynamics and stuff for people on the edge.
So the screwing over thing etc is likely not valid

I think rah and clt have a outside chance at 1” still but it’s just I pull up soundings and with the initial band, there’s so much low level dry air, then as it starts to pivot east a 700mb dry slot moves in
I empathize. Can't tell you how many times I've been on that end. But that's just the way things are.
Also it's helpful to remember that while one's thoughts and typing them into a device add some non-zero amount of heat to the chaos (which a perfect weather model would have to take into account), they don't actually move a storm. Plenty of proof of that. So don't take it so personally.
I hope you see some snow! I would never take that joy away from anyone.
I’ve had a glazing of ice, and haven't seen an inch in 3 years, the average is 4” here. It’s bad but shouldn’t be this bad
That’s not even true for NC.
I’ve seen 1” in the last three years and haven’t seen a storm of more than 2.5” in a decade. I am not in a giving mood. As someone who used to live on the Gulf Coast, I’m happy for you all to get this, but don’t act like we’re drowning in snow up here. The last few winters have been a catastrophe and if winter ended right now this one would suck, too.
The good news is that our wishes do not impact the weather.

I wasn’t being mean I was just asking like where I live we rarely get snow so seeing others get it is saddening to a degree

Yeah let the GSP to CLT to RDU crowd have a historic snow and we wouldn't be complaining either. This region has been dunked on from every direction over the past six years - TN/VA/MS/AL/GA and now even coastal areas in SC/NC may get buzzed. We can't even get a warning criteria snow.

Yea, the soundings look awful. You just have to hope the euro/gfs are better at showing what actually makes it to the ground. I feel like the euro is good to have in our corner with that. But it’s also clear all the hi res models are saying heck no to flakes making it to the ground.
It also seems like a race to saturate the lower levels enough to get precip before that 700mb dry air blasts through. My hope here is the hi res models are too quick with that dry cold air advection and maybe too weak with warm air advection out ahead of that. That seems to always be the case when we’re hoping for a changeover to snow from rain on the back side of a storm anyways.
I will say though I do think the if I don't get snow I hope no one else does posts are a little tone deaf and poor taste

If ever there was a massive NW trend within 24 hours, I pray that this is the one!!
Yeah we have to work on this. It’s workable but not ideal. 
Yeah, that’s sad to see, and I’ve seen it a few times on here. I root for MBY first and foremost and I’m willing to sacrifice snow elsewhere to make that happen, but if I’m not going to get snow, I at least hope others do. This is really cool to follow for the Gulf Coast and as people interested in meteorology, this is something we should all cherish. We could have spots set all time snowfall records with this storm!

Will say I have talked to several Mets who believe that this was a good idea but just fyi they have brined the roads in Raleigh today

Best best Best case scenario is January 21 2022. Some similarities I will admit.

This has been a gradually worsening train wreck since when, about Thursday? Don’t know why I keep coming back to look at it… glutton for punishment I guess

Yeah they brined the roads in the Triad even. We aren’t forecasted to get any accumulation. Wishful thinking.
yup. my line too.
I choose to experience joy in other folks' joy. I'd love this storm to pull a big last minute surprise and destroy Atlanta, but if not, I'd love to see it give other southeast folks a great time! Of course the "dump on everyone" would be the ideal! Best of luck to all!

It doesn't help that he's also a liar. He posts 50 times a day so that anything he says that is wrong people will forget.

I'm used to the things I get excited for in life going wrong or fading away so this is a "been there, done that situation", meh

Where up north you think you want to move?

Well, I guess this *is* the complaint thread after all, isn't it? I enjoyed the flizzard we had here yesterday, and I'm actually kind of enjoying watching this one from the sidelines!

Ideally, the frickin' Yukon or somewhere else in the northern tier of Canada, but that's so unrealistic lol

Except for the mountains, all of NC has been in a snow drought for several years and, while the Triangle gets hit harder the the Triad, none of us are exactly setting records. We have had El Nino's, La Nina's, and even La Nada's, none have worked out well for any of us. The fact we have finally gotten cold for Dec and Jan has done us little good, and next year it is likely we revert back to the 2 cold days followed by 5 mild days in Winter.

Winter storm warning coming soon here. Cool
I think we are starting to trend a little bit better with this system. I just don't think there's enough time to give I-20 in SC a big snowstorm. Feel like if it's going to continue to trend NW at all, it will trend just enough to get us 1-2 inches of snow, while having to watch Charleston and Myrtle Beach get anywhere between 3-6 inches of snow, which would feel gross.

Why unrealistic? but dang will you be cold for 10 months of the year ! Yellowknife, Fort Mcmurray, Iqaluit, Churchill , are all good options ! Very isolated and cold up there

When the 2001-2030 climate data comes out the average snowfall amounts for Charlotte, RDU, ect. is gonna drop down a frickin' cliff lol
2004 and 2014 might barely save CLT's snowfall average from dipping below 2 inches

Personally I’m happy, let’s bring Florida to North Carolina ! Come on Simeon you could be out on a boat on lake Norman in shorts mid January partying
well, we know from the last storm they're likely to wait until the last possible moment. But I suspect they might issue a warning somewhere south of Atlanta. And I expect an advisory for north of that. Will be interesting to see what and when.

Guys, we’re tracking February 1st now. All is good.

Immigration to Canada is difficult lol, but within the U.S, Valdez, Alaska seems like a cool place. It's not as brutally cold as other places in the state yet gets the most snowfall. Though COL is really high

I may not get more than an inch - which is an inch more than I've seen in the last 7 years - but state offices are closed for two days! WIN!
If you want to move somewhere that gets a lot of snow, it’s Sapporo, Japan and it’s not even close. 250” of snow per year, multimillion population city, and it’s not even that cold.

Well, desperation has set in for many people in the Carolinas in the "event" thread. It will be all over soon though. Hello darkness my old friend...........
Let’s not minimize this event by putting it on quotations. This is historic storm for some, even if it’s sad for us. We have posters in the areas that could get a historic snowfall.
