This rain caught me off guard. Sigh, when I looked at the NWS forecast, I thought there'd be sprinkles at most today. The new rain event was much faster than forecast.

Gotta check that radar, yo!
I hear people saying the PV could split at the end of Jan but how long would it take for the deep south to feel the impacts ? Climo goes dramatically downhill after Feb 15 in the deep south so a PV split at the end of January is cutting it kind of close isnt it ?
I want to go home and sleep. My 2 y/o was up all night sick and I feel like I’ve been hit by a train
I’ll say it so someone else doesn’t have to; Some of our best snows happen in March
I remember one good snow after Feb 15 in Carrollton GA and that was in 1993. I was referring to the deep south not upstate SC
@Webberweather53 (I think) posted some stuff recently that indicated it could be pretty quick, if it was due to a tropical influence, rather than some kind of Wave 1 thing. I could be screwing up the terminology, but I think I have the idea correct.
The one thing to keep in mind is that we will have a lot of cold air in close proximity available to tap, as opposed to other times when we've had to wait, after the pattern has become more favorable, for the source region to be seeded with cold air. What this means is what it probably sounds like: When the pattern becomes able to tap what's up there in Canada and bring it down here, winter should get here fairly quickly.
i got almost 3 inches early March 2017
I didnt realize Columbia has had a snowfall that recent.
yea and had bout 5 inches from a ULL on Nov 1st a few years ago. (earliest snowfall on record).maybe someone else can remember what year that one was. maybe 2016?

The last real snow here and one of the best snowstorms of my life was here on March 4th 2015 lol
Not that I'm expecting a repeat but all the snow that winter was after February 20th and that was the 4th storm in a series and also the biggest by a mile

Just pouring rain, forecast busted today Mets. Had to be 6 stories up on a roof watching a emergency roof replacement today. Let’s just say it’s a cold rain and my rain coat isn’t rain proof like it was a few years ago.

How do y'all mentally prepare for the Bleaklies each Mon and Thu? Any advice to your fellow members?
On a related note, I wish today's Bleaklies were based on 12Z instead of 0Z because the end of 12Z EPS looked significantly better than 0Z's end in the NE Pacific. So, if they turn out to have their typical bleakness, take solace in the fact that it was based on a worse EPS run than the latest. For those who don't know, tossing a run of the Bleaklies is an option is now officially offered by this BB! The powers here had to get the approval of the suits at ECMWF because tossing a King run was not something normally done for obvious reasons. So, "we toss" no longer applies only to the 18Z GFS/GEFS!

I don’t pay too much attention to them anymore. Anything 10+ days out is always wrong. Heck we can’t even get the 24hr forecast right.

You know things are bad when it’s 6 pm and the last post in the main thread was at 430 ish. In other words, you know it’s bad when the happy hour GFS gets no posts.

You wouldn't know per the constant whining and over-exaggeration from a handful of folks, who reside in this area, on this forum.
That was 2014 (November 1st). Only a dusting to an half inch in my backyard. But folks about 15-20 miles southwest of me lucked out with anywhere between 2"-4".

Other than the possible flurries or whatever is showing around 120, the rest is terrible.
It's nice to have a hobby where you have absolutely no control over the outcome.
