Wintry More SE Snow ? (1/16-1/18)

Something doesn't add up. FFC can't do math. They must be expecting a fantasy in S GA.

State of Emergency declarations are used to help have available resources.
Any television met who thinks he knows anything to do with it, is a moron.

Idiot said a dusting of snow and areas saw a foot, last time, anyways.

And even though this won't be like the early December big snow, it can become similar to 1/28/14 with that light snow becoming ice on the roads, especially in North AL/GA.

Mods feel free to remove/move this if it ends up being too banter-ish.

Honestly, I'm beginning to feel like that some of the TV mets down here might be a bit too conservative. I'm not trying to say that I know better than them or that I don't understand why they're so conservative. But sometimes it can be a bit much, like the whole predicted dusting ending up becoming a foot people here keep pointing out.
I know TV mets probably don't want to cause a panic, but it's better to have people prepared for the worst case scenario and have nothing happen than to have situations like the 2014 event happen.

Especially in a Metro of 7 million, some people were in their cars for 24 hours, totally embarrassing.
 
Jan ‘14 can gtfo. The lunchtime start to that event was a huge factor in its creation. Timing looks different this go around that would limit the chaos of everyone hitting the roads at the same time.

Seems like a decent analog though. Light event occurring with temps in the mid to upper 20s. The discussion has been had before and the consensus I got was roads begin to freeze around. 27-28 air temp in the daytime. Need those few degrees to fight off the dark surface absorbing the incoming heat, cars running over it ect....

Another thing is the phone weather apps show nothing, and basically even on Dec 8th. I know this belongs in Banter, but thought it was relevant to my thread. Unfortunately for the lay people, lol, that is what they believe and see and it bites them in the a@@

A lot of the models have had that and then have it kind of reform or intensify shortly after. The NAM has been showing that for the past 2 days

Yea that's true the reform would be shortly after that hour. Plus it's the long range of the hrrr to.

Yes the two factors that will help in Metro ATL
1) Time of day as you said, we will not have the rush of vehicles
2) GDOT now applies brine which should help with the onset "stick" issue
 
Keep an eye out for a trend towards an upstate 850, especially one that slowly deepens as it exits the coast in NC. RGEM is on the extreme end but even the Euro hints at some 850mb close off potential. You would want to be NE of the 850 center by a margin for enhanced lift.

Are you saying that would favor Roanoke Rapids to Norfolk VA?
