Misc Winter 22-23 Whamby and Banter Thread Part 2

Our climate absolutely sucks now for snow here. And the models keep sucking at showing something 7 to 10 days out only to go nevermind the next day.

The only good thing about this winter is it won't snow in DC, Philly or NYC either. I do love that

Here we go. You've bought into a long range storm again. See you in here in a few days again asking why the models are always wrong on fantasy snows. ?‍

That didn't take long

Zero cold air around in the middle of January. Brutal

Just like December 2021, KATL has a real shot at going the entire month of January without a freeze. Starting out at a healthy +16.2F for the first 5 days.

I bet we have a few 28 degree mornings later in the month but it's certainly looking bad if you like cool weather.

This is what we are calling January?! Wow

This is why I hated missing any snow with the December front, that may end up being the only legitimaye cold we have all winter. There are always comments about snow before NY or before Christmas being "bonus snow," but the reality is it may well be the only snow. Take it when we can get it.

 

[SnowNiner]

Meh, we knew this would happen deep down. Can't have a perfect setup with no real cold around 7 days out and hope nothing changes. It always does.

Maybe I can salvage some snow showers in the mountains once the storm passes.

“Wet chair pics coming soon.”

Now I'm the one that's grumpy!

 

[LukeBarrette]

When was the last time we had a favorable cave?

They are thrilled I'm sure.

Just not feeling it this winter. Bring on spring and baseball.

 

[KyloG]

How SE folks feel today…

Are you back in TN or still traveling the states?

 

[Brick Tamland]

Do you remember the good old days when the models would show a winter storm 10 days out, then lose it, then bring it back inside 5 days?

You mean that one time back in 2010? Sure

I have seen a storm or two in the last decade come south. I can’t exactly remember the ones(I think 2011 and sometime later).

Yeah I recall it happening a few times but it is very rare obviously

 

[Metwannabe]

I know what I do remember is any 10 day model output never happens and why after all these years some still buy into it hook, line and sinker is beyond me.

 

[Shawn]

I think it's important to not look at any specific storm outside day 4 or 5 on any model. H5, sure. Actual storm, no.

You'll save yourselves a lot of heartache on these day 6+ "threats"
