Misc Winter 22-23 Whamby and Banter Thread Part 2

F Duke Energy. Corrupt company arm of state government. Hope they collapse. Honestly as harsh as this sounds the grid collapsing from the cold might have been the best... could have led to Dukes demise and better practices. Instead they will cover up and put more bandages on as they have always done. Maybe a summer heatwave can knock it out

The biggest issue I had with them yesterday was when they said that conditions got colder than expected… I thought overall the cold snap had been very well forecasted by all outlets for the entire week leading in
 
At least its Jan 4 and not Feb 4. I've always thought that Jan 15-Feb 15 was our best period for winter weather.
If it was Feb 4, it would be better to not see cold showing up, if the previous month was cold. When it's Jan 4 and there is no cold and you know February is going to roast, it is so much worse. When we get to Feb 4 and there was no cold or winter in January and we see constant April temps and rain, it is going to be ok, because reality has had plenty of time to sink in.
 
Y’all seen the lightning strike at JR Motorsports this morning? Brad P has it posted on FB, it’s pretty crazy
 
I don’t have time to go way back through the threads, but this time last January what was everyone talking about pattern wise in here? Was it looking good at this point? We’re we already seeing signals of the January 16th storm?
This time last year Nashville was 2 days away from this. The pattern was kind of flip flopped compared to this winter so far. Very warm December followed by cold January, especially nights. It’s been the exact opposite this winter.

It just feels more intense to me than it normally does this time of year.
I noticed it was very intense recently here in Birmingham. I just thought that I forgot about what it felt like this time of year since I haven't been here in about 4 years. I don't remember it being this intense in the Carolinas.
 
As @Myfrotho704_ & I have been saying for a few days, the pattern + analogs generally can support a mountains & foothills paste bomb, which is what the GEFS is hinting at.

Outside of that, I'd be pretty skeptical for now.
If such a foothills paste bomb were to materialize, where would one best experience such an event, that doesn't require a four wheel drive vehicle to access?
 
Lol Meteomark has made quiet a name for himself all across weather platforms. Got to be the biggest weenie on the planet. Impressive stat considering I never saw him until this year.

 
Hmmm.
