Man, I really wish people didn't get their hopes up so early. The cold might be real, but um..

Site traffic will be ripe regardless! Some will be here to -----/moan and others will be here to release their inner goober over ensemble snow. Either way, we’ll all be here.
 
I think the ICON has gone off the deep end, this might just be a bad model but I swear it wasn't getting this ridiculously cold last go around...
 
I see the GFS snow maps are still way over inflated

Some things never change

also the CMC has 15 degrees here(which means its certainly still too cold as usual), lol, that would shatter November records
 
I love being an eternal pessimist over our weather. I never expect any snowfall to pan out even in the middle of winter. 9/10 modeled storms don't even verify in winter. These eternal optimists on here either are very young, haven't been in this hobby long, or just moved down here. Curious to see how many jump ship over to the dark side as the disappointments continue to mount this season. Lol
 
If we are going to have this thread, then it should be used. Instead, I keep seeing posts in the regular threads, and people ending them with things like, "But we know that won't happen," or "But it'll end up failing somehow." That crap belongs in here.

Also saying things like, it’s gonna happen or it’s gonna snow” should be put in here then if that’s the case, but the not happening part is much more realistic anyways

That's not what the description of the whamby thread says according to Rain Cold.

I think we can apply a little common sense though, in our application of the guiding principle of not cluttering up the main threads.

You get so ill when a storm starts to fall apart. Being so attached to it snowing doesn't seem like a good thing. Just try to be patient. We'll probably get a storm or two this winter.

I fixed it for you.
 
Epic cold! Get your heat pumps ready, they can’t handle that and they will need to be tip top for the next 3 months AC use!33F2B0FB-64C0-4633-8A7D-5E156BD0E203.png

I don’t know about SC but here it’s going to be some pretty big departures from normal. My average high is 63 and my avg low is 39 so on average the next 10 days will be 13-15 degrees below normal. Considering the fact I’ve only been above normal one day out of the last 7 I’d say this pattern is nothing to sneeze at.

Bold predictions for Dumpster Fire December:
  • Mean temperature slightly warmer than November
  • Greater than +5°F above average
  • Average high for the month above 60°F for RDU, ATL, GSP and CLT.
  • Most of the urban centers do not have a low temperature below 25°F.
  • No snow at all east of I-85. Not even a flizzard.
  • There will be a day with widespread record high temperatures across the SE US at some point during the month, with many areas reaching the mid-upper 70s reaching 80 in isolated areas.
  • Cooler than 2015, but not by much!

Local weather icons get increasingly worse as time progresses. These will never ever ever ever be topped. In fact, they should just quit trying to be clever and go back to this:

The good old days! Back when TWC used to be good. It's actually decent now, but they went through a period of major sucktitude. Those were some of the local forecast graphics. Definitely early and mid-90s...not sure when they changed them. Probably late 90s. They played cool music, especially at Christmas, and had good graphics for Local on the 8s.

TWC has been all about those clicks for my entire life, essentially

Very nice! Had zoysia at my old house and loved it. If it didn't cost so much it would be my go to

It really is a nice grass, but as you mentioned, it's super expensive compared to other options. It's also got a higher shade tolerance than most warm season grasses. I'm working on getting fescue seed put down in my back yard since there's too much shade for every other grass and we need something to hold the ground in place. It seems to be going well so far. Seed is far cheaper and easier to apply than sod.

They could bring those back in high resolution too and they would look absolutely fine. Maybe bubble em' out a little bit to go with modern standards of course. Use some white gradients for highlights etc.
