Misc Cold Season Complaining

I will say … I think some of us CAD ppl whine some, vu I’m gonna be honest , if ANYONE gets screwed more often than no it’s SE TN / N GA / Upstate SC imo . Didn’t even remember that in 2004 screwing the upstate while I got 13”

Even though I feel like CLT will do fine(1-3" is my feeling for the region). If I can find someone around GSO or RDU to stay with Wednesday/Thursday, I will legit take a train up there to chase.
 
F it. The models are wrong. I’m officially wishcasting 1/2”+ for Atlanta. You can take that to the bank, and when it happens you can quote me on it.

You’re gonna chase like 5” when we’re gonna be like 2-3”? It’s not worth leaving unless you going to SE Va. Triangle will find a way to screw up…. They always do

Better see something by 2PM Tomm or this will go down as an absolute EPIC fail imo. EURO is a POS like the rest of them if this flops to nothing. This will be back to back storms it’s done that garbage at Day 4 just to be on it’s on


Edit : If this happens and I end up with nothing or like an inch. I will take @1300 advice to heart and NEVER look at anything except with a grain of salt even up to 48hrs out

We absolutely could…. If ppl don’t stop wishing for this southern slider crap. The colder and further south less QPF for all of us.

Wait. so like…. you can wish…. and change the weather?!? 🤔

Little confused though. Is it don’t stop wishing? Or… that’s the result of the wish?

You get the point … yesterday everyone was so deathly afraid of ICE and all their Cringe Cliche post about ICE , that even when we had 2”QPF. “Oh well we want all snow so weaker is better” at first …. Ok cool yea fine go a bit south, then it went more, and more and more lol and I’m not sure ppl realize that’s a double edge sword. The QPF has consistently dropped the further south this Peewee event has trended

I get the point. It’s frustrating. Cuz it’ll do what it will do. And our emotions are wrapped up in believing any of the models are what will really happen.

I’m not in on the insanity this go around, so it’s a little easier to laugh at things. But ya. Been there.

Once you see some greater possibility… Yup. Been there too. Glad to see you’re laughing at yourself over it.
 
I appreciate all the in-depth analysis on this site. Many of you put in a lot of hard work to get the finer details, and it's been refreshing to read all the different viewpoints and perspectives.

But I'm gonna ignore all of it, and follow my weather app instead. It said 14'' yesterday, and today 8''. Obviously following the trends, the forecast for Raleigh will be 1'' by Wednesday. 😏

Oh yea in the grand scheme of things this means absolutely nothing in life lol 😂 However.... do storms ever dig all the way to Baja then become a gaint bowling ball under the SE anymore or is that a pre 2020 thing ? asking for a friend.

It's honestly just how it is here. Eastern upstate; I-26 and east can do a lot better, even though a lot of it is lower elevation. Most areas East of GSP have seen double digit snowfalls over the years; Jan 2000, Feb 2004, Dec 2010, Feb 2014, Dec 2017, Dec 2018, probably some others as well. Probably just about everyone from Spartanburg over to Gaffney and Rock Hill (even down towards to Midlands from Jan 2000) have seen at least one double digit snowfall from these or other storms since 2000.
GSP and west has not had an official double digit snowfall since 1988. There have probably been a couple over 2500 feet but that is very isolated. There is a reason we talk so much about that Jan 1988 snow; it's about all we have to talk about in the 'big dog" category. March 93 was close but officially 9.8 at GSP. Feb 2015 and Dec 2018 were supposed to be our storms but instead we warm nosed and ended up with a couple inches of slop while Hendersonville to Saluda got 15 inches.
Burrell said he has never seen a snowfall over six inches. Think about that for a moment. Think of all the palces in the SE that have had larger snowfalls in that amount of time. There's always something to mess it up. Downslopping, late bloomers, delayed cold, coastal transfers, etc; we're just in the worst spot for an area where everyone around us does better. The only time we do well is in true overrunning setups; Jan 88, Jan 2011, Jan 2022; but those are so rare and ususally don't have the dynamics to deliver the true big ones. It's pretty hard to watch sometimes.

And yet, I will say yall are some of the most faithful on these boards... dang near nothing to look forward to and you know it. However you show up every event and @rburrel2 Especially will literally never say die until its past him. Respectable tbh

Like. There’s no space ya can put those text boxes over where it isn’t showing snow. So let’s just put it on top of what calling out. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Sorry. I get grumpy about design.

Oh he made a post about ours with similar graphics calling it life threatening and people accused him of hyping 🤣

I mean I'm sure he's talking more about the extreme cold
 
When’s the last time a low moved to your south and you didn’t get rain for the entire day?

For what it's worth, I hope the upstate gets another Jan 88 soon enough.

I personally have no memories of that storm since I lived in NE NC at the time, and only saw a measly inch. (according to maps) The following winter wasn't too shabby though..
