Misc Cold Season Complaining

I'm still finding it remarkable here that you're seeing what used to be weather nerd type stuff spill over to social media. Made a mild joke saying that this is what's likely leading to continuation of a winter weather drought elsewhere.

The kid in me really wants for there to be some way for the 6z GFS to verify though. It was fantasy land, but not complete, total lala land.
 
I think it's just hard for the models to get the specifics right when it comes to snow in this area because it just doesn't happen often, and it usually takes a bunch of things going right for it to happen. I remember Greg Fishel when he was a met here at WRAL said forecasting snow in central NC was probably the hardest part of the country to forecast snow for because of our proximity to the mountains and the coast, and our lattitude and longitude.
Same with Atlanta, but Atlanta is far higher above sea level than Raleigh.
 
Anything outside 5 days is still a crapshoot. Like even now nothing about next week is figured out

Heck as much as it's seemed snowy here(maybe relative to back east) we've had several major busts in the final day! the last two winters
We probably won't know whether it's suppression city or big dog glory until Saturday/Sunday.

Yeah I mean we're not even sure what Sunday is gonna be like here yet... We could have nothing but rain or a full blown snowstorm at this point

You can extrapolate that
 
Public service anouncement / reminder. We cross the proverdial 120hr mark with Tommorow nights 0z runs. Actually almost there with storm # 1 (jan5th) for western TN areas. Usually you start seeing a consensus get honed in on at that point. We may be seeing it tonight. 0z and Tommorows 12z will be judge and jury. I want let myself get sucked in on an event till it gets under 120 hr mark. But im starting to get the warm fuzzies for Jan 5th.

I honestly think that one will do more For a lot of places, and I think models will start trending better for it
 
Don’t you just love the:

“What are you looking at honey?”

“Weather stuff.”

“eye roll”
It was the worst that time when everyone changed their profile pics to women in bikinis too, oh brother
