Misc Winter 22-23 Whamby and Banter Thread Part 2

This winter has sucked, but March miracles can always happen at even very southern latitudes. After all, Marianna, FL did record an inch of snow on March 28th back in the 50's. Here's to hoping that the gloom will subside at some point in time.
 
This is about the time we usually say “throw out all the models (even though they should be more accurate than ever at this close juncture), it’s nowcasting time!!!” ?

Yeah, but “things don’t work like they used to” or something. ?
 
I think I will make a little trip to Brevard or Highlands in morning since I'm only 20 miles from those, I think you could see 2-3" there. I think Northern Upstate Counties Sees Snow Falling just not Sticking.

That’s why I still favor more regionalized threads. We end up with people rooting for their own backyards, which is understandable, but at one point with this event we had people saying it was wrapping up sooner and other saying it’s so much weaker. It isn’t so much for my benefit but for those just learning, it must be dang confusing.

Ive never said it on here but I've always said that the Threads need to be spit up. The NC people should have theirs, Upstate theirs, and GA folks theirs, Ect... it would make it soooo much smoother and not near as confusing

Call me salty but as an easterner I've seen every snow chance I ever get wished away by people who routinely see more snow than me. They always beg for a NW trend then freak out when it trends too much. Some might call it Karma when these things happen. I know it's just weather doing what weather does.
 
I'm out of here, This place has become a Damn Joke with all the "Know it alls" that don't know their Ass from a hole in the Ground!! Yall have fun!!

LMFAOOOO. Since this is a weather forum and we are suppose to be breaking down the storm with actuals facts, please show all of us one thing that should make anyone outside of western NC and extreme high elevations of North Georgia excited about getting any winter precipitation out of this. And I don’t want, “ULL can do whatever they want, models don’t know everything.” Models don’t know everything but there’s not one showing not only accumulation in SC but now most don’t even have snow flying in this state. I can show everything from warm BL temps, terrible track that puts us on the warm side not only at the surface but above our heads too. Nothing at 500mlb to show any sort of cold source for the ULL to tap into and zero low level cold from the small shot we had at getting CAD established before the storm. Simple fact is we needed a perfect track and perfect intensity just to have the HOPE of seeing snow. When your ULL closes off over Dallas Texas, that put the nail in the coffin here.

You’re just wishcasting and thinking bc it’s an ULL that it has a mind of its own. It has zero cold air to work with. When the NBM looks like this that should tell you all you need to know

Please tell us why anyone and honestly that includes the mountains should be excited to see snow.

Couldn't have said it any better, this one just went wrong last minute.

If we ever have a credible threat inside of 72 hours with enough regional coverage we will go this route. When we are at the day 4/5/6 level where it's just a threat thread I personally think that leaving it all together is better for information sharing. I don't think many people want to click through a NC thread, Upstate thread, nga thread, TN thread just to see maps they may not have access to at that lead.

I do think people would do the board a favor and preface their posts like "for my area the X model is trending better/worse" instead of "the x model is good/ bad". We all need something different even though we might be 40 miles apart I need something pretty vastly different than you.

In a honesty if we ever have a real threat we can do some cool thread things to really enhance and be a benefit like a model chart thread where eps/gefs individual member output is all consolidated for members. We just haven't had that storm
 
Long range GFS (in fantasy land) has ANOTHER winter hit for the south-central US. Because it's so far out it may not happen but man they've had incredible winters during these past three (la nina) years. There are folks on here wondering if we'll ever see snow again. The answer is yes. Even if you throw climate change into it, there's still plenty of cold air. We've just sucked with the pattern these past years. Honestly, my take is we're just going through another period like the 90s.

Here's that fantasy storm (~day 13):

I don’t have any issue with the way things are now. The threads are easy to read and I don’t understand the griping over locations, etc. I’m not a met yet I understand everything said and all affected locations in one damn thread. It’s pretty elementary to read and sort through.
