Pattern Jan 2025 Powered by Rheem AC

[Twister]

Anyone in the south that’s in the central time zone will love this upcoming pattern. For us east of the mountains this looks like a textbook overrunning pattern. If we could get any kind of -NAO I would be really like the setup for us to get something frozen. But we will have to time up a cold high sliding east with one of these waves. Luckily for us the subtropical jet doesn’t look to be a problem with multiple opportunities. Just will come down to timing for us.

It has been and always will be about timing here.

Probably a dumb question, but is there any place to get a snow map of what actually fell across the south?

Kind of. Purple is probably around 4 inches

Oh yeah some places had a good dump before it rained for hours. There was a very sharp gradient though

Yes even my parents south of Birmingham had accumulation which I can't even remember the last time that happened

So weird wasn't it? Almost beat the best storm I've seen here(it probably did actually on length)

And we had zero hype people said we'd get a dusting while Arkansas got buried(okay they were half right)

Maybe they were radar estimates? So much dry air probably lost two inches to virga. But we had to cool the column to get what we did

It started snowing around 11am and by 5pm we still only had a dusting. At 2am the airport reported 5 inches and it kept snowing til sunrise

If we had been colder we probably would have had a foot. I mean... The only thing that kept it down was the daylight. There was so much precip

If everyone posts their location and snow total I'll work on a map.


Or we could do something like we did with the member map

This is the best one I've found. Purple is over 4 inches

Don't know about a map but here are some totals from GSP. No big totals showing up on here, I'm sure there were some higher amounts locally or with elevation.
