Two miles south of the Mall of GA (that’s well NE for those who don’t know) they got a solid 3” on Jan 10th, which exceeded their longterm avg. I know because I was staying with friends there, measured it, and walked on it. It fell mainly in the morning. That was their biggest in 10 years! Little did I know, however, I’d be seeing another 3” (mainly sleet, which I loved) back home in SAV within 11-12 days. From that 2nd storm, ATL area got some more.
You were in a good spot last year! That was still the exception for most of north GA from what I remember. Also, many places in AL, NC and SC haven't seen much in a while either.

It looks like at least 90% of Georgia got at least 1” last winter. That is very rare ! At least 80% of the state got 2” or more. IMG_3980.jpeg

Yes for coverage it's more than a typical winter. February 2020 was the last time we got more than average snow here though and last year sucked for us since it was gone within a few hours.
 
I feel like a long, long time ago in weather forum land, if you saw a map with blues over your area, it almost always was a map depicting cold weather

In the modern era, it could mean anything. It could be a run to run change. It could be the temp at 7000 miles of the surface. It could be the MSLP anomaly. It could be a reanalysis map from 1745. It could be an inverted wind chi Hadley Cell force depletion map. Or it could be the bottom of the Pepsi logo.

We are really digging deep these days.

Cutters and NW flow good times, good times east of the Apps!
We need to have a Milller A storm for a true pattern change that has been going on for years now as I’ve said it’s cutters and NW flow events . Need something to cut across the Gulf up the coast then we see true change not just a weekly change but a true Northern Hemisphere change .
 
I feel like we are trying to make chicken salad out of chicken 💩. We just don’t have the right ingredients to cook up a winter storm. Hopefully that will change, but we are looking pretty far down the road already. Not much fun right now.
Ranch will help

Cold comes just after mid-month, and a few days later, warm air returns quickly as the dreaded phase 6 of the MJO, but then it rotates quickly thru 7-8 Boom. Then Cold comes back very late in January with some staying power into Fab - February!!! That's JB's story, and He's sticking to it.

Don’t forget 2m dews. I love to yank those out these days. Grade A click bait

Yall know 2 days ago these threads were doom and gloom… and now we’re looking at a real pattern coming up

They can be doom and gloom at any given time. Even in the middle of a snowstorm. I miss the good ol days where bad snow ratios brought the forum to its knees
 
Interesting map. Goes to just how downright benign things have been in the Wilmington/Morehead City forecast areas.

That Euro looked so exciting on paper(like I'm pretty sure that is a textbook look for somebody around here) but dang like no precip of course

It's a start I guess

But the ensembles are not impressed either
 
Was the gfs bad again or just nothing connected
It looks fine with the large scale pattern but the problem is there’s no evidence on any model or mean that we can get a storm with precip to develop unless it’s rain in between cold shots.
 
Well let's see the Euro had this and failed to produce widespread precip. I couldn't believe it. On paper this is a historic setup and yet nothingIMG_8575.png

It's the same crap pattern we have experienced after the Dec 2018 storm and after Jan 22. Take out those 2 storms and it's been horrible for our area. We seem to keep repeating this same pattern over and over and over. What gives. When do we finally break this pattern.
