Euro is so wildly different from really everything around D6/7 the gfs is closer to it but even they are handling the pattern differently. Should be fun to watch and see if it's leading a trend or not right
 
For all the jawboning out there (not this site specifically) about Feb 15 thru end-of-winter being just super spectacular great we'd better see some goods. :)

That's the point. Too much wading through crap for storms that aren't going to happen.

The weather for the most part is boring. Weenies just wish it into existence for entertainment until the inevitable failure and "onto the next" happens.

What is one thing we are learning about this storm? Just one thing? Oh, it's the lesson we already know. Model chasing is futile. This all could have been easily avoided if reality was accepted days ago.

But nope. As soon as another Day 7+ threat shows on a model, regardless of how bad it has performed, here everyone goes again.

Kind of the whole point of a place like this though right? Find a group of people with similar interests and discuss the possibilities. I mean it would be like going to a sports board and saying only talk about the next game not further in the season or free agency.

By this point most people that have done this long enough should understand the danger of getting excited about anything until its happening. If people are walking away today with their feelings hurt I'm sorry I guess?

I just wish the pattern/threat threads were readable in 5-10 posts per model cycle. It's so much to read. I spend most my time scrolling until I see pictures.
 
I do think the dominant "threat" should be split off into it's own thread though. There's a lot to talk about with the upcoming pattern that's more conducive than what we are currently chasing.

Kind of a victim of our own success, when we started this place we said we wanted to take over the region and eventually the US. We are halfway there

I appreciate the POV. I am not sure I see the point of a weather board that only has 20 posts a day, though. There are plenty of people you could follow on twitter to see pictures and hear really good cogent analyses: webber, raleighwx, dt, kitty bump, etc!

I agree with this. I actually think we should break more things out into their own threads. I understand the superstitions surrounding threads but traffic management is #1 imo

Tune Sounds real familiar. Ive learned no matter how good it looks pattern wise and shows up as. Still need timing luck in some way. shape or fashion. Even in a not so sexy pattern like the short window next Sun-Tues, same logic and reasoning still applies. Chasing snow in the SE is a crap shoot!

I wonder how much pain would be erased if the public could only see the models out to day 5. Run them out like they are now but restrict access to people and organizations with a proven need to see them.

There are too many "experts" now. Everyone and their mother, including the media, share fantasy land snow maps now.

I can understand this as a Lurker.....the key in that no offense to anyone at all, only pay attention if certain ppl are saying things good or bad. Everyones opinion is valuable i just mean there is only a select few Ik to buy in or give in based on them lol.... Also you are in Columbia SC im sure even Mitch would tell you its way harder for yall than most. You think we need it almost perfect up here in WNC/NW Piedmont yall need it even more perfect unfortuately
 
It’s just so difficult to get snow after Valentines Day. There’s a reason why it’s been almost 15 years since there’s been snow after that day. I don’t care how good the pattern looks. The sun angle will win at the end of the day.

If it’s snowing hard enough it can temporarily stick. Won’t last long on the ground though. If it snows after Valentines Day it’s best to get snow at night.

Majority of snows anywhere in the southeast don’t stay around long regardless of the time of year. The last snow we got in Tennessee a few weeks ago was a rarity to have it on the ground for a week. In late January 2016 I got 12 inches and it was all gone by the end of day 4. It can be 20 degrees out but if the full sun is shining you still get lots of melting.
