I'll tell you guys, there are 3-5 chances of storms even after this event. Things are really shaping up to be interesting into January if the GFS is close to being right.

We have a thread for January setup, to talk about that stuff too!

Yeah, I think this storm is just the appetizer and setting up for bigger things a few days later.

I recall you and I watching the Canadian during the January 2011 storm, and it perfectly nailed the storm. The other models had more ice than snow, while the Canadian had more snow than ice.

Let's say I ended up with nearly 7" with a slight glaze of ice to coat it.

The Canadian also initially sniffed out the February 2010 storm. Keep that in mind, too.

Well, the Canadian is much different at h5 with our wave versus other modeling. If it's right, a lot more people will be sn and ip than zr that will be in the southern midlands, coastal areas, and southern georgia.
 
Ruh roh, GEFS is slightly wet for it's mean for some:

Going to be bad when 10's of thousands (if not more) of people in Georgia and South Carolina can't watch the games on New Years due to lack of power! Not that it matters really, Bama has it all wrapped up anyway.

Car battery, and an inverter if you don't have a generator. Be sure you have some way to heat up food. Camp stove, whatever. Eating cold out of the can, if you have any food in the house, for a week to 10 days gets old, lol. Stores won't be open, and people in Apts will be in dire straights if they get over an inch in a city.

Hoping the CMC will set the trend. Need to avoid the ice. Plus Tony will get his sleet if it's right lol.

You've got to dance with the z devil to get an epic sleet storm, lol. I'd much rather get snow to turn to sleet like the 4 incher in Atl back in the late 70's. One like this could move back and forth during the whole event, and I love that another is on it's heels for early week. We could get another 3fer if we are lucky. Saw one of those down here in the 90's, where we had a minor zr event, then a middling mixed event, then a nice finisher of heavy sleet and snow a few days away from each other. The stuff from each storm was still there for the next. Every once in a while nature gives something for each kind of lover...thou I've never met a zr lover.

Yeah, of all of us they know not to take a strong cad lightly. I've seen bad times with a less powerful high providing the cold. A good one goes well into Ala, lol. And this could be a good one.

I agree and one of the biggest things I look for when it comes to the strength of the wedge is 10m (sfc) winds. Pressure chart yes, but winds are more realistic imho. The NE fetch goes into Bama and all the way to the FL panhandle
