Goofy's 216 has a weak gulf low, down in Fla, and cold air pressing in. That's nearly as good as you can get this far out, in Ga., and something that could shape up in the remaining time. Perfect winter storms in Ga are fewer in number than the fabled dayglo unicorn, blizzards, and basket ball sized snow flakes... and I saw those in the 70's, and the bliz in the 90's, saw the perfect SnoJam snow storm close down Atl in the 80's, and several perfect sleet storms in the late 50's, early 60's, the late 70's and early 80's. And one down here in the 90's. So hope is alive....but exceedingly rare to be realized, lol. It's taken me over 70 years to get those little bits of joy. And they are so fleeting...at least sleet has staying power which makes it wonderful beyond snow, which it generally here today, gone tomorrow beauty. So whatever frozen that falls needs a cold blast behind it..part of what makes a good one so rare. Cold before, cold after, not too bitter cold during, no waa, reinforcing caa, wsw winds bringing the moisture, n or ne winds bring the caa, low in Fla. but not too deep, weak gom low to prevent the waa, and help the caa. No wonder it's so damn tropical around here...lol....too much needle threading. The most perfect sustained conditions for a winter event was also the worst, most horrific storm I was in so far. So perfecton is over rated. I'll take a two day surprise....though that horrific storm was a complete surprise...you just don't see it sit on 32 hour after hour while a strong gom low puts down inches of rain. .. thank goodness, lol.
