Pattern January 2021 - Joyless January

Yeah the fact we’ve gotten this close with this first system is amazing lol, I had no hope for it a few days ago
 
I thought the euro might flip us on the backside instead just flipped the bird. Gotta go hate we are basically trying to make the best with Pacific or modified cP airmasses here. I'd still take my chances trying to pull a magic trick with the Euro setup though. You'd have to think there would be an area of cold 850s north and west of the upper low and enough banded precip we could flip areas to snow

cP air mass in early-mid January is at best marginally favorable for snow in NC, until the block starts to shift north a bit and we have a few storms under our belt to secure some snow to the north, meh. We gotta do everything right, get a slightly stronger upper trough, then have the heaviest precip arrive during the late overnight/early morning to have any real chance to get accumulating snow out of this and even checking all of these boxes is gonna be difficult.
