That storm showing up on the coast, trust me won’t move, maybe 50 miles north or south (talking about in the end). And be pure wonderful snow. Always works that way when it shows up a big snow for them.

Its kind of crazy how similar this next system's dates are setting up with the circumstances I found myself in this past summer/fall. Back in late summer or early fall of last year, my family was planning on going out of town the weekend of Jan 31st and originally we were all going, but after my luck from earlier in the year of missing two of the most significant severe weather events over my home the same days I had left, I nearly guaranteed there would be a major snow event on the weekend we left since I was headed out of town. I decided I would stick back just in case this threat actually materialized, but I was really thinking it might. Now we have a threat setting up precisely around this weekend. Not sure if me staying back at home will prevent it from happening, but still crazy to see the prediction from 6 months out has somewhat of a chance of actually verifying!

Nothing like all of the early wintry hype on a storm, only to get the chair pulled out from under you. And when you think things couldn’t get any worse, we throw out another storm for next weekend to get our hopes destroyed by Thursday.

The gulf coast got one big snow in what 50-100 years and now everyone acts like every storm has to go their way… based on history, the nw trend will always have it way, granted there are exceptions but they are rare! Just like the gulf coast storm last year.

I don't know. The pattern seems to get more amped these days.

Nope, We are going to get round 2.
Question for the board: Do you think it is more "fair" for significant snowfall to occur in Gulf Coast cities like Houston, Nola, and Pensacola or deep SE coastal cities like Jacksonville, Savannah, Charleston, and Wilmington? Fairly similar snowfall rates historically between the two, as far as I can tell, so curious to hear everyone's thoughts.
Imagine getting power back weds and seeing a 12” snow map 72 hrs out
My little brother has been in line for almost 9 hours waiting on a generator
I just want BK stop reminding me 
This weekend is the table setter for next weekend. 
I did not expect to be in the extreme zone at this point.
12z JMA looks similar ish to the GFS, etc. Seems to start the northern half of NC as snow. Putting this in banter because this model might have negative value.

21.8 inches......I haven't seen that much since 93! This would be nuts!

You mean to tell me the models are FINALLY figuring out that a LP can't just plow through a 1040+ HP unless its like a cat 4 hurricane?!! Seen this coming for days...
Right, so what would that mean? How does this change the storm track?
Late January sun angle doin work! Currently at 2pm
It's wild how some people can exaggerate or extrapolate an instance and then make it a common occurrence. I have a friend who loves to use outliers as strong argumentative/debatable points. Too many people seem to lack analytical thinking skills. Enough of my being on the soapbox, lol.

Flatter, colder, less moisture transfer.
More of a classic Miller A storm. Not full on Miller A but closer than this hybrid garbage
off of pure chance the gas log fireplace downstairs was scheduled to be repaired today and he's working on it right now. feels like a sign
To be fair, I think when most people say that, it is facetious. I say it but I don't believe it, LOL.
I literally just said this to myself, gonna walk out and snap some pics cause goodness….

2 actually. It just snowed across the Gulf Coast states (including South Georgia) this past weekend.
So then I would expect this would change the p-type on the front end of the storm, more snow-->ip further south in NC?
I feel like this is one of those scenarios that a met from the 1980s (without access to today's computers) would see the setup and would have had a very different solution from the models over the last week...

February looking very warm !
Bring it. Every time the heat cuts off and I feel the slightest draft of chilly. Terror creeps in. And it’s only 46 outside right now.
This is the storm that may kill my winter loving soul.
When does this start?

I might as well start planting my zinnias next weekend.
lol That is the first map I've seen showing February warm.
That is the first map I’ve seen where I’m cheering on warmth. Ever.

It's stupid that we've been out of basic stuff since Wednesday. Apparently you have to prepare like 4 or 5 days early to even get stuff like power banks or heaters. Freaking dumb.

I’m already moving on to spring season i’m not buying in to any more fantasy bull crap just to get my heart broken and dive over a cliff for another let down all over again. It already sucks missing snow to the south of me and yet another to the north and west of me just to believe another storm next week have a chance to miss to the south of me hell no f..k that. Sorry guys i’m in my feelings missing out on snow

Didn’t really fully notice this until I was just browsing right now.
Yeah, I think I’ll have to actually pass on this run. It’d be fascinating to witness, but could well end up being dangerous stuff.
Edit: just give me a good 5-6, or 10 inch storm within the next few weeks and then we can flip to spring for the second half of Feb.
