Been a very long time since I've thought about having someone toss me a rope! Should I hold off a little longer?

I would. I do this to myself every year..I guess part of the fun is getting sucked back in. I honestly don’t mind the disappointment anymore. I expect it

It can still happen, but it's less frequent now days. Climate change is BS to some, but the Earth has indeed warmed over the years.

You are right, there is no such thing as normal weather. We base "normal weather" by averages which is what we go by. The weather does what it does and like you said, the weather is simply what it is.

An old weatherman story. I arrived at friendship airport in Greensboro NC. Temperatures were in the low 60's. I was 18 and on leave. Needless to say, I was out and about.

I ran into Fred Blackman from WGHP at a bar. He said they were looking at an area of sleet in Atlanta. By 3AM the temperature was down to 10F. Snow flurries had started. A flash freeze had frozen everything. Between 7AM and 2PM 17 inches of snow fell. At noon street lights were on. Trees cast shadows.

This became known, as the President's Day Storm in 1979.

Oh man, I grew up with WGHP! Well, at least through the mid-80s. Frank Deal was the best of the best. He was my all-time favorite weatherman.
 
Yep, I remember Fred vividly. He used to anchor with Cynthia Smoot back when I watched it. And Rich Brenner with sports. I think Mike Hogewood did sports there for a while. This pic is probably from the late 80s or early 90s.

In the not gonna happen department, Member 50 manages to drop several feet of snow imby over a couple of days. Nothing is ever going to top the Euro op showing me with 36 inches within 4 days though. (I ended up with 2 inches)

Im already sweating the @GaWx post a few nights from now telling us the GEFS is “much” warmer than previous runs but we wIll quote “wait on the Euro.” for confirmation

lol, no GEFS is already warm. I'm dreading the EPS caves to the GEFS. This would be of course the time when Dr. No being Dr. Yes is wrong.

The new Bleaklies say don't sweat it as winter will be returning for the last 12 or so days of the month. Also, each and every bleak of bleaks 2-6 is a bit colder than the previous run (Monday).

IMO, wintery door opens for most lower elevations (Atlanta to Raleigh) after January 23rd. The two wintry mix events prior may not workout for most outside of VA/NC west of i77. *All based on the first major cold outbreak arriving.

Interesting fact I'll share here is Wilkesboro, NC sits at 1047', and Atlanta, GA sits at 1050'.

Although I do get a little angry sometimes I’m trying to tone it down I hope that doesn’t qualify me as one of the “dumb posters” ?
