  1. Yeah this epic winter that some thought including myself is quickly going up in flames. I said a month ago if you wanna ruin a winter let the modeled AK trough set up. And it did set up and looks to hold strong. That is one of the most stable winter patterns around when it sets up. Whether its caused by the MJO or not I don't know. The warm blob is all but gone now which should prove sea surface temps don't drive the pattern but are a result of the pattern. If we can't manage a good winter in a moderate Nino and low solar are good winters even possible anymore in this day and age?
  2. For GSP going back to 1960 looking at Decembers that received 1 inch or more of snow, only twice did January follow with an inch or more. 10-11 and 17-18. If any month produced after a December snow it was usually Feb. Just food for thought. I have no idea how the pattern shapes up but if history is a predictor of the future snow will be hard to come by in January. At least at GSP.
  3. If it wasn't measurable snow does it really count? I don't count it. Reality is CAE has only had 3 winters of the past 15 produce an inch or more total for the whole winter. Absolutely pitiful even for CAE. I stand by my statement that is the biggest screwzone in the state. At least further south you pretty much know you're not getting anything. The upstate is guaranteed something every year, even the western upstate. CAE is always close enough to the action to keep Hope's alive but fails miserably in the end.
  4. That area definitely appears to have it's own micro climate. I still would rather live there than CAE. Going 5+ years without measurable snow, relentless heat and humidity, 95-100 every single day from June through September. Even lines of thunderstorms break up before reaching CAE. Not the place to be unless heat and humidity is your thing.
  5. No CAE has the honor of being the epic screwzone. They haven't had snow at all in 5 years.
  6. If Panovich's in house model is correct weenie land, oh sorry, RDU posters will crash the server for this thread!
  7. I wonder why these look so much different than the Pivotal Weather ones on the south end around CLT back to Spartanburg?
  8. I'll go with an ice-breaker after seeing the NAM for the 85 corridor.
  9. Putting a pot of coffee on. It's about to get jumping in this b***h!
  10. Yeah unfortunately I feel this one may be different. No where near the strong cold push and that was Feb. There was no doubt about the cold with that storm. Just precip types.
  11. I remember closing in on the Feb 2014 event that the upper layers started coming in colder as the medium range models came in play. I don't remember exactly how far out though. Being 54 hrs out or so now you would think tonight at Oz something need to start happening and definitely by 12z tomorrow. If not I think it'll be a lot of heartbreak come go time for the 85 camp. You can't go into one of these storms being modeled on the edge. Cutoff most likely ends up nw of where modeled.
  12. Yes looked to me like it would have stayed snow from GSP all the way up. Does anybody have the Kuchera?
  13. Glad I stayed at the bottom of the cliff through all the chaos yesterday. Look to be on the receiving end of the shaft as usual. Historic to bust in a matter of hours.
  14. The high is weak. But good placement of the high and low off the coast.
  15. Yeah the placement of the high and it retrograding west looks suspicious to me. I like the NAM for CAD but not sure I can believe that run.
  16. What are you talking about? Are you really hyping flurries?
  17. Oh I got ya. I don't know why I thought you were in Athens.
  18. Yeah. I'll take 20 inches of snow instead of the amount of ice that could come further south down your way.
  19. And hey we get more Monday! Can't wait for my roof to fall in!
  20. Pretty much matches the northern upstate. Must be going all snow!
  21. I'm guessing that's not kuchera?
  22. Wouldn't say that. It's just the first mid range model to come in range and it actually handles CAD well. The globals don't and may not until go time, if then. But for some reason Tarheelprogrammar88 is worried about them.
  23. Why are you looking at that? Just look for players on the field and track of the low. CAD my friend.
