Wintry February 19-21, 2020 Winter Storm

Yeh Shawn, we know we’re screwed in the Midlands regardless. What’s new, it’s always the same, a new issue will always replace an improvement.

I truly hope something can come back to help y’all out, really do, Columbia/surrounding areas snow drought needs to end

I feel for you! I am in pretty much the same boat. I may as well be in the Midlands as well. Especially when you're East or Southeast of 85- in the Charlotte metro.

Dad lives in Rock hill, it’s been a bad drought there also, so I know what you mean! But yeh, it’s frustrating but I like to think that one day Mother Nature will make up for the screw job she’s given the Central Midlands. Anyways, I’ll quit complaining.
 
Maybe but verbatim that wont cut it. Wet bulb is 36. May provide flakes but that's it.

That warm layer is wayy to small to melt snow quick enough if you wet bulb (had all snow 41 degrees days ago), heavy rates would only cool it down, not saying that’s happening tho, but just a slight possibility
 
Cold is always the probably down in the South especially down the I-20 area lots of precipitation =more rain...but honestly time is starting to run out but if anything areas further north like Tennessee extreme north Ga and especially north Carolina still might have a chance at something

I’m feeling a little optimistic in North Carolina that I may see something but I’m not letting it get to me because I know the outcome is probably not desirable.

Absolutely snow would reach the ground. We need wet bulb to be lower than 36 to accumulate though. We don't need much. Slightly lower 2m or slightly lower dews would do it and this far out plenty of time for that. Maybe it's not lost after all. But I'll wait another day or two to go all in again. ?
 
So what gives? We have moisture, we have a nice 1040-1045 high sitting in an ideal place? Why isn't cold air funneling down far enough into the south?
I think the lack of snow pack is hurting us to an extent.
 
Gefs trended stronger with the trough around the NE us, which is acting as our cold air source, so it was a bit colder, but precip sheild was shunted back south a little, gefs snow mean is kinda deceiving from the big dog members
 
That definitely is a more excited snowfall output from the GEFS showing there is always still a chance with this one
