Pattern January Joke

We’ve received 0.0 here in Columbia.
Posted a couple of weeks ago that, for some reason, La Nina...and this pattern is frustrating. West of the apps...rain, rain, rain. East? We can't seem to get ANY rain. Couple that with the incredibly frustrating H pressures that miss time the moisture feed.

We goin' go crazy east of the apps if we can't get a Strong H over Central NY..and the STJ firing. Trends this winter have shown this time and time again.

It was nice to do a 50 mile bike ride and sweat... ;)
 
Lol I jinxed it. It slipped up. Not gonna be as crazy as 12z
I still think it’s gonna bounce back on 00z. For the past day and a half, the 00z/12z runs have been better while the 06z/18z runs have been worse. The next day or two, I expect both to come to a consensus, and hopefully it’s more of an 00z/12z solution.
 
@Jimmy Hypocracy it's a delayed Apps cold air special for us lmaoooooo

Pretty to see, but unless we form some kind of secondary this will 100% never verify here. The mountains won’t allow it. Idc if it’s a 1070 high on top of Pigeon Forge. It just can’t do it

the triad can do it successfully. Atlanta can do it no problem. We cannot

Well this did kind of happened in the Mid January 2018 storm. Columbia got completely shafted in a two week span from the North & to the South. But anyways! Nice run from the GFS for many on the board!!
 
The best part about this is the onset time is inside 200 hours (more like 180) which gives us time to work out the details to maybe (hopefully) get a boardwide hit, but also makes it increasingly hard for the entire system to vanish into thin air. Not saying it can’t do that, but it’s much less likely to.
 
That looked more like EURO
Broader trough like the Euro instead of another useless sharp trough. For us east of the apps folks, we need HP in both the northeast and in the Ohio valley to get a storm (banana high)

This set up isn’t a death sentence for us bc the air in place ahead of it is pretty cold and dry as well. A slight shift south with the boundary on this run and we’re all snow, start to finish.

As it stands on this run, everything starts off too far north and west and we need some low level caa, (which won’t arrive bc mountains).

The good thing is this is about the most amped and north solution being depicted on modeling. Cold and dry is on a lot of the modeling too. (Umket, Canadian, euro, and euro ens).

I’m looking at it and I just don’t see a scenario where we snow. I mean I know there are scenarios where travelers rest can score in late arriving cold setups but this is certainly not South Carolinas bread and butter setup. As it stands At least. It’s just brutal living on the immediate Lee side. Until you get a wedge but that never even happens any more

But I guess I see what you mean. How do we keep from scouring this out? There’s some high pressure off the southeastern coast. Maybe we can use that? Idk I’d really like to see this setup evolve but idk what that needs to look like yet IMG_7427.png

What about the Triad area in ur opinion

Unless that L in southern Canada gets replaced by one of those Hs, nobody east of the Apps are getting snow, not just the Lee side folks. If this trends more like the Euro then we have a chance

We’re not roasting out ahead of it. No need to panic yet. Hi-res models would have dumped on us with this depiction.

You’ve got to get that cold bleeding south prior to precip. There’s got to be some sort of gap between front and rain. Need cold air sagging in some way shape or fashion prior or you can forget about
