On the topic of weather data, does anyone know if weather balloon launches ever went back to a "normal" schedule after so many jobs were cut in the spring and summer? If I remember right the northern plains area was especially hard hit by reductions. That's where our HP is coming from.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for northeast Georgia, Piedmont
North Carolina, western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina.

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

Hazardous weather is not expected at this time.

occur over the area this weekend. Hazardous travel and power outages
are possible and may linger into early next week depending on how
fast wintry precipitation melts. Additionally, cold wind chills may
develop Monday night into Tuesday morning and a Cold Weather
Advisory may be needed. Make sure to stay up to date with the latest
information regarding the forecast as this is an evolving system.

Move to east to Florence SC or the NC coastal plains, or move to Landrum SC and the foothills upstate if you want snow. The midlands of SC/GA are terrible for winter weather. Too far inland for the coastal stuff that develops.

Don't come here. It hasn't snowed in northern Spartanburg county more than a dusting in over 4 years now! And starting to look like it won't now either
 
Disappointed in the latest runs. Of course, the GFS was great, but I agree with others that it is most likely wrong --> Greg Fishel talked earlier today about its cold bias for setups like this. But many of us are still looking at a huge storm. We've seen these storms trend to the north at this time span to then trend slightly back south before go time. I have a feeling we're looking at a large sleet storm from the up state into NC. That would be a win for me. I would gladly take 2+" of QPF as sleet. and maybe we can get a little snow to start and end.

I posted this tweet about 3 years ago and I think it's relevant to what you're asking here. This kind of thing can happen when you get giant arctic air masses like this so close to the Rockies.

Not to discount this in any way because I’m sure it’s true, but this has to be one of the dumbest ways iv seen us find a way to screw up a winter storm. I mean this just sounds so ridiculous when I read it lol.

Yeah, lets just go ahead and blow up the yellowstone caldera. Let it take all of the Rockies with it to alleviate this problem.

Yeah I agree. I get carried away sometimes and gotta work on it.
 
If I'm being honest...the 0z NAM in its fantasy land actually looks like it's trending to this phased bomb at H5.

Placed in banter as it's where it belongs lmao.
