I'm afraid not. We will be lucky to get another drop of rain or a flake of snow this month if things go like I'm thinking. This event will probably trend back southeast so far that not even I-95 gets anything.

I think I'm going to make a SouthernWx.com +/- stat line for the starters and the bench players here.

Advanced analytics matter.

The storm that caused the traffic nightmare?

Yes, that's the one that shut down Atlanta, but that is mainly because the boundary layer was at about 25 degrees when the snow started falling. This storm would be right at 32 at best, in and around Atlanta, so no problems.

I honestly saw that coming. When I saw how low the temps were going to be while it was snowing, I just felt like it would be a lot worse than your average Georgia snowstorm. I was supposed to go into work at 1pm and I called my boss at 11am telling them I'm not coming in. They were like why ? I told them the roads were going to be really bad. I guess they didn't believe me.

Yes, I called in at 7 am on that day and said I wasn't coming in. I have this board and Webber to thank for it!

Tbh I think even if the roads were a bit better, we were screwed once everyone left at the same time and all the schools let out at the same time + the roads. It was more the fact that nobody believed it would snow.
 
I mean this exact orientation, placement and everything looks identical to the pos we’ve been getting since 2021…. I still remember the days I’d be scared to death that EURO was even 200 miles SE of me at 4 days out….. This same positively tilted weak sliding garbage. Save me the lame bs about ohhhh I’m scared of a jacked up QPF monster bc it might mix or warm me to 31 instead of 26 with worthless pixie dust. No, bring the amped potential apps runner with 1-2” QPF and that mixed bag. Give me 12-18” on a model run just so I can get pissed off on Saturday when Short ranges start showing a warm nose all the way to @Frosty back deck. But still, let me sit there annoyed while I hear sleet beating on my window mixed with flakes the size of tomatoes as it switches back and forth every 10 min bc the mix line is riding the Iredell / Cabarrus / Meck line 10 miles away. And then, when I accept it….. give me a random Deform as the ULL pivots through and drops a quick 1-3” on me ending me at 8” snow , 1” sleet and 1/4” ICE. So no, save your weak overrunning child’s play, if that’s what this is I will hold until Feb and take my chances knowing I’m about 10yrs overdue for a foot plus

Also, miss me with all the “ohhhh no it’s gonna screw our “DEEP South friends”. Guess what partner, it ain’t supposed to snow in South GA , Charleston , or Aynor SC so let’s be realistic the clock on y’all’s dream cinderalla run is ticking.

I just really question the cold air transport when our surface pattern looks like this on top of the diurnal timing, etc.

Depends on where you are speaking of. For north ga and the upstate timing would be almost ideal...after 06z. As for actual temps...the atmosphere is rather dry with large dewpoint depressions at and above 925mb with plentiful evap cooling. So if we can get precip to develop and assuming its simply not much warmer than advertised, it appears cold enough from Columbus to Macon north with 850s of -3 to -4 and 925 even colder by 12z

But, to be honest, South LA/MS/AL/SC doesn’t see it that often compared to the northern areas, so it’s realistic that some of us would be a little hopeful. However, in my opinion, I think those southern areas are going to get something, and that whole NW trend that moves everyone out of the snow and puts ATL/BHAM/TN into it isn’t going to be as aggressive as it normally is.

Man i swear i’m going to be pissed if south Alabama gets snow again… I knew i should of not moved up here a little north of Huntsville Alabama

Huntsville and north Alabama has been the damn snow capital of the south the last decade. I think you’ll be okay staying put where you are.

Here's the thing. For S Alabama, an NW trend doesn't necessarily mean no snow for you. A NW trend would more likely affect Georgia and the Carolinas more for good or ill, depending on location.
 
And meanwhile out here everyone is wondering if it will ever snow haha

Been over 120 years since we didn't measure 😜

Wouldn't it be something if it never did
