Negative. Warmed up. Shifted to elevation dependent event. But I agree with your assessment. This would have been fun at 3am. I do see flakage beginning on my security cams at the farm in Stuart. 1500' elevation. I'll have to enjoy that cuz its all I'm going to see today.
-
Trying to bait us all back in with a mythical Valentine's Day storm huh? Not having it!! I'll enjoy my 44° and mostly cloudy.....which is a helluva lot more likely to verify this winter.
-
Still in the 50's thru 240 and no obvious pattern change in sight. I'm talking polar vortex lobe breaking off and crashing into florida and killing the orange crops kinda pattern change. Thats pretty much what its gonna take right now. So I'll leave this here and spend the rest of winter in the sanitarium. Stick a fork in this winter cuz its well past done. Time to spread the pre-emergent.
-
The most truth ever spoken here. I predict a cold and rainy spring transitioning to a very nice May followed by 2 months of dry, followed by an August and September where it rains every weekend.
-
Moderated but delayed winter coming, bank on it. Meaning we'll have 40's and 50's out to the end of April. The only unknown is whether or not we can still squeak out a Fab Feb special in the second half of the month. It only takes one storm to make a winter. But that D10+ pattern shift is elusive for sure. Until that is HERE, and not 72, 240 or 300 hours out, we dont stand a chance at winter weather. Enjoy your sun today!
-
Yes, the forecast on todays (non) event has been atrocious. Majorly missed the mark at 72, 48 and 24 hours. Honestly I am starting to be more irritated with the inability of our forecast models to predict a crappy winter month, week , day, hour than I am the actual weather. This has been a horrible streak of inaccuracy the last 2-3 winters.

It's a damn fine day down here in Jax FL. I appreciate you fine FL peeps bringing out the sun and almost 80°. Now back to my NC mudfest.
-
Foothills up in Stuart VA. Got the lawn ready to lime like crazy, kill the moss by March and overseed into April. Mother Nature is doing a fine job right now. None of us will suffer from the winter blues and we may still bank a couple of storms in Fab Feb.
-
I'll take the under for $500 please. 70° patterns in January dont give up that easily. I'll ride the mild air until I see the Pac ridge lock in for more than a day or two.
-
I've been telling you folks to enjoy the heck out of what you have today cuz the rest of winter could easily be cool and wet. I mowed today, cleaned some trash in the woods, swept out the barn, went on a trail ride, and on and on. What an outstanding day!!
-
Should have some OBS coming in over the next 45 minutes. Post em if ya got em. Watching my security cams up in Stuart and waiting for that line back around Mt Airy to blow thru. 70mph gusts with that one. Get those chainsaws ready.
-
384 ALWAYS hints...... I'm just totally done with this wet pattern. Bring me warm and dry at this point.
-
Somebody from CLT south is getting ready to have a bad night. Worried about these high winds across the triad too as wet as the ground is. Power outages ahead me thinks.
-
For posterity sake, it is 61° outside on Jan 11th at 7:45 in the morning. I've had July and August mornings start off the same way. This pattern is simply amazing.
-
I want to report the follow observation. My grass is getting greener and the seed is starting to come up. That is all.
-
We used to say BOOM alot back in the good old days when Burger was here calling the PBP on the Euro. You know, back when BOOM actually meant something. Now....well now we just say NEXT!
-
100 mile NW shift and we're all out of it except climo favored areas. Next!!

Radar says it should be snowing here in Stuart but the ground truth is a 33° cold rain. Bummer. 8:45 edit - I have a few slush flakes mixing in. Probably about as good as this one is gonna get here at the lower elevations in Patrick County Va. -
I will say, kinda feels and smells like snow outside for the first time. May head up to the farm in Stuart tomorrow to see a half inch of slush. But it may be all we can muster until Fab Feb.
-
So easy to overlook when it is just one event. I said last year after it happened that it would take multiple 3-4" events for people to feel like it was a normal winter. When you get the whole boatload all at once, especially in December, all anyone remembers is the weeks of nothing from Jan-Mar.
-
Only if you sit around all day analyzing it. If you just enjoy what you have it ain't too shabby! I cant tell you how much work I got done over the holiday period that I didn't get done during our extended October summer. If Mother Nature is giving me my fall in January I would be perfectly fine getting my winter in March.
-
But, but, but.....it just takes one storm! Miracle March will save us! I'm gonna spend my day off trolling Weather UToobers and their clickbaiting ways to keep me out of the sanitarium.
-
It's the 18z. Next!
-
The pattern is awful. So rest assured at this point there wont be any significant cold "sneaking up on us". We'll see it build over 10-14 days if and when trends turn in our favor. Until then, enjoy the early spring, late fall, whatever! If I had 4 months out of the year be exactly like today I would be quite the happy camper.
-
It'll moderate......to about 67° in Elkins, WV. And that will be on the heels of 3 straight days of rain. Face it folks, we are now almost halfway into January with a LR forecast and no wholesale changes towards a more favorable pattern are in sight. The winter battle will be fought over 8 weeks from mid Jan to mid March and given how far off-base most of the forecasts have been thus far, I dont think anyone knows what the heck might happen for those 8 weeks.
