I have only scanned thru this paper (will get to it at some point), but it's a new paper talking about how, in spite of temperatures climbing around the globe and in the Arctic, we are still seeing maybe more cold outbreaks than expected....yielding at least some level of hope for the future generation I'd say

Interesting. I have observed that it seems in the past ten years or so it seems like the polar vortex, or TPV, usually descends pretty far south in North America. If you are under or around it, you freeze, and if not, you roast.
 
I think we have one last shot in February but the rest of January is cooked unless you are in the mountain. Also early March is too far out to tell we shall see. ❄️ ☃️
One day your going to be right.Hope im here to see it. How was that 8-12 thunder snow? You get it all out of the driveway?

didn’t pan out brother. I saw 6.5” in Ashe county. Wilkes topped at 5ish same for Surry according to storm reports. the Storm tried its best. What I wanted to occur did happen over hot springs Arkansas and no one saw that coming. Actually 14” reports
 
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.
 
What system was this for? I can promise you I live under the purple and I barely got a dusting

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
 
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.
