Misc Cold Season Complaining

I remember that one also.. I am sure many in the upstate to Charlotte do also.. I remember the NWS had 6-8 inches of snow forecast for Rock hill about 24 hours out. I even remember how that storm looked pretty decent for Columbia about 2-3 days out. Brutal warm nose.
That was honestly a lot of snow gradients in the 80s.
That 1987 event was an exceptionally wet snow as I remember(of course I was six). 1988 was much better sledding.
New England trying to time up perfection with the Christmas snow on the GFS... Man.. if only.

Hopefully the NW trend saves those poor folks and pushes it to Canada

How come it never snows in Georgia but snows in New Mexico at Georgia’s latitude ?
It definitely doesn’t have anything to do with elevation

Altitude probably

Welp, looks like that clipper in the beginning of the month may just be my last time seeing snow. At least I got to see that
RDU looked to be in line for 6-10". I will never forget the GEFS showed 99% probability of >= 6" of snow for RDU 48 hours out. That was the beginning of the end for me with the GEFS, which I now consider the worst model in operation today (ensemble, op, you name it, the GEFS is worthless IMO).
P.S. Yes, I post it on here before anyone comments, but you have to remember, this is not me functioning in a professional environment. You can for sure believe I never, ever consider the GEFS for an actual forecast.

GFS Has been and will always be Hot Garbage. I laugh at the roller coaster it sends folks on, especially when pattern chasing. You want it showing you torch LR, especially when other guidance suggest different. Cause you know the opposite of what it is advertising/sniffing is what verifies most times. Just think back a few days ago when it put 2 feet down in eastern NC this coming weekend and 50 in Philly.
I’m in Roanoke Rapids and it’s like early summer

This December has been one of the coldest we’ve had in awhile. It’s warm today but we’ve got a nice cold front moving in before a warm up around or after Christmas. This place is damn near unbearable if we aren’t below freezing for months at a time with snow cover for a majority of the winter 
.
Hell, winter hasn’t even gotten started yet. We are not going to torch from now until March, but you’d damn sure think it after reading some of the posts here. Enjoy the weather that you have, because it’s the only weather you got.
