Wintry January 21-23 2025

So is this a situation where this storm is more of a deep south hit more than the areas in the mid south?
No one can know. Just speculation based on models runs and players on the field

The GFS run truly is an upper echelon look with long duration SW flow overrunning into a big and wide cold dome, followed by a west to east moving wave to finish it out
 
It shows a funky warm nose at 800mb over me, which would be heavy snow and sleet, probably more sneet like last time! LOL
I’m in Senoia and I think we’re the sleet capital of Georgia. It can be snowing on the other side of Coweta County and sleeting here. It always seems to work out that way I guess I’m a little bit too far south.
 
I think the big takeaway right now is the ensembles are leading the way showing a favorable pattern for overrunning an Arctic air mass. What is beginning to become quite encouraging is that despite quite variable H5 evolutions, the ops and individual ensemble members are starting to pump out winter storm solutions quite frequently.
The other thing I like here is that if we can keep the big and wide conus trough, we won’t be dealing with 5-6 different pieces that have to miraculously come together to make it work. The modeling should be better equipped to handle a solution where the features are longwave in nature and not chopped up with a bunch a small features
 
That GFS run honestly gave me February 2014 vibes. Even had a small wave down a quick inch or two for some areas 18-24 hours before the main storm arrives. Great cold airmass in place and getting reinforced with a 1055mb high
Exactly,
Am I wrong in my memory that snowmegeddon happened a couple of weeks or so prior to the storm your talking about here?
It seemed it was an appetizer for the main course for many!
Similarly to what we had this past weekend!
I mentioned this on Twitter to Mitch before the last storm based upon what the long range modeling was showing after that storm.
It reminded me so much of the evolution of 2014 with what this was showing last week.
 
1. We're not 10 days out
2. The setup isn't all that complicated
3. Broad model and ensemble support for very cold air in the area and high pressure over top
4. Ops AND ensembles showing a system
5. You better get some rest while you can

Might be less than 10. Could start as early as next Tues night.

Yes the mess in Atlanta happened two weeks before that incredible week in February 2014. In facts models first started to pick up on the potential of that storm just a couple of days after the late January storm ended
 
Anyone got ratio output on the northern fringes? Im assuming 14-16:1 based on column temps.
 
Yeah, no doubt. I will be happy for folks south of here to cash in but it hurts to be north of the best snows when you live far enough south already! Mind numbing when that happens. @dsaur likes to remind me of one of those events! :D
I've promised myself not to pick on you so much. I think the karma is cutting back on my sleet totals, lol. If I'm real good, I think I can reel in a really good period of sleet in about a week, with beaucoup snow on top. So this is me wishing you the best snow of your life!!

To you as well, Tony who if anyone on the board just gets dumped on with sleet, I hope it is you my friend. Onward to the EURO and let's see what Dr. No has to offer at 12z.
 
I dunno if the Euro will have a storm or not, but it's much better through hr 114. Colder/quicker in the east... follow up wave behind the cold shot is weaker and less suppressive... and our storm energy dropping down the northern pacific coast is further West and everything looks oriented better.
