Wintry February 19-21, 2020 Winter Storm

We have warm nose issues to iron out, but we also have to take in account surface as well. Even if those that manage to be all snow, we have to question how long it will take and how much snowfall will be rendered til surface temps allow for any accumulations to be accrued.

If rates are heavy enough, then not long to overcome surface temps

Catching up on everything this morning. So bizarre the Euro is on an island by itself... ICON slightly Euro-like. I understand the Euro doesn't "win" every event, but it's a force of habit to NOT like the set-up until Euro/EPS gets back on the board.

Exactly, if you go by verification scores, long term history, and quality of model physics, you have to question how you can discount the EURO. Doesn't mean it can't be wrong but the percentages favor it and the EPS for sniffing things out. Personally I am hoping the NAM is right for the boards sake but I will not be placing any money on it.

As much as I want to believe it, take the weather nerds sim radar with a block of salt. Unless you enjoy being burnt. I’ve seen it show a CAD hanging on down into south GA before...

It's weird because at times models seem to underdo CAD a lot of times. Now, I have rarely seen in down to south GA, but I get your point.

Except Webber posted earlier how the Euro has been off since this summer with the amount of precip here versus the NAM.

There have been many times when wedges have held on down here in SE GA. It isn't that unusual.

Oh, I know. It's just not as common down there as it is further north. Let's hope the GFS is onto something. For once, I would love to not have to worry about that d*** warm nose. Hearing that word is like a metal rake on a chalkboard!
 
CMC and ICON seem very similar at 12z..both say the coastal is the main feature here..a bit of a upstate/interior NC skip before the coastal forms..not even close to as robust as the NAM/GFS..We’ll see who the Euro sides with..honestly doubt we’ll see a big jump by the Euro towards a beefy solution at 12z
