Pattern January 2021 - Joyless January

If the TPV continues shifting south, we may see a weaker/flatter look like the ICON has IMO. The chance of it shearing the energy out and preventing a bomb is pretty high. I just don’t see a way at this point to shift the system south enough without also shearing it out into a weaker wave like the ICON has.

Looks like this is the case... based on the trends today.
 
Well yes the exact amounts sure but you can not deny that this setup isn’t similar because it 100% is. Take the Mar 1927 storm cut the totals by 2/3rds or what not you’re probably not too unreasonable in terms of expectations. That of course is still a lot of snow.

Been saying this all along but if If we play all our cards right, a mar 1927 lite storm is on the table

Looks like we will be lucky to even get flurries outside the mountains at this point. GFS has very little accumulating snow outside the mountains. 1611547676009.png

Gfs isn't even close with the second system.

Model shifts tonight have been drier, warmer and worse for snow chances in NC. I just don’t see much of a mechanism to change things at this point. The energy pressing down is keeping this system weak as it crosses the area and the faster timing has hurt too.
 
Boone should do well so I'll be there Wednesday/Thursday
 
Welp, the cap is holding serve for now. The convection that's out there looks unimpressive so far.
 
I actually don’t see why everyone’s jumping ship I think what the Gefs and Gfs v16 are seeing is that the potential here is big it’s only a few degrees from being a quick paste for NC folks .. 850s looks awfully cold I can’t stand to think that would translate to rain at the surface .. storms are always a bit colder I mean hell we got sleet tonight?! Like huh?
