Wintry February 6th-7th

Not to sound crazy (but I am!) do the weather apps on phones not pick up on things?
I look at 4 different ones each morning and they all say something different. But during this “possible storm” it’s showing our temps ranging from 50-54 during the day and 33-34 at night. Not sure how it could snow/sleet with those temps. But every model we are also just on the edge of the blue. We’ve missed out on all the prior systems other than a stray flurry or quick coating that melted within the hour. Trying not to get my hopes up but at the same time, I’m dying inside from snow drought! Sorry this was just coming from a small town country girl who generally just sits in the background and reads the comments!

**edit** MOST models have us in blue. NAM doesn’t but GFS, EURO, and RGEM do.

Euro is WOW? . About as dream scenario as it's going to get with this storm. Less amped southern stream shortwave means less initial WAA and more southerly track. It's going to be so important to track how far south our front gets today since that will set the stage for everything. I hope this is not a mirage, but that Euro run was something else.

Yeah, I’m sure it’s a slim chance but would love to see us be able to get S metro down to Macon (which selfishly would help our are too) at least a solid coating of snow/sleet. Covington to Athens (our side of town) has been enduring what I consider a snow drought even for these parts. How likely would it be for “rates” to be high enough to take over in this scenario vs say what NAM is modeling??

Soundings for this area from the NAM take surface temps to 32 for the duration of the event. I'm not sold on that just yet, but it does increase my interest just a tad. Good trends overnight for sure.

Lol hopefully we can get that rain snow line down to Chester SC the day before of on the NAMs to make us feel safer and account for horrible last minute trends
Still can’t get over this beauty tho....F35DEC0B-146A-438F-AAE0-DD0B585F5F43.png

They eitheir are linked in to NWS data output or Most likely GFS/Buffkit. Noticed this myself and 90% of public gets their forecast from these apps. They will be in for a nice suprise latter todday when it changes and catches up.
 
And I'll be out of town for this event. I hate not being in town for snow. Oof.
But the upside is, I'll be in Wisconsin until Monday where there is already plenty, and that vodka cold is gonna be something else lol
 
WPC : good chance of accumulation under 4” in immediate mountains and lesser amounts in extreme NW escarpment.

GSP: not on board yet as feels strong warm nose will prevail even though it is a Miller A type event

graphics too large to post

Very surprised! RAH not on board at all in their morning AFD. I know they're conservative, but surprising even for them with model consensus.
