    Hey @Blue Moon , we do have a severe thread in the sub forum...FYI...

    I get all my long range info from Carver these days. I don't even have to look at the models much any more! But I do keep up on a daily basis and just patiently wait for day 7-10 to move into the day 3-5 range...very patiently.

    It was showing up on the Alabama traffic cams....power flashes and all as it crossed Hwy 280 near Al119...

    The 9th anniversary of the Harrison EF3 just north of Chatt.....took this pic just off Exit 11 on I 75.....

    Quite a bit of sleet fell between 1030 and midnight before I crashed....still around this morning.

    This regional forum was created to separate the NE GA and the Carolinas from the west side of the Apps as it is generally two different discussions when it comes to winter weather. There are no definitive lines for weather in Alabama/Mississippi etc for discussion in here. That discussion is welcome and was evident in the last snow that came through MS...we just happen to have more active TN Valley posters than the rest of this side of the Apps...

    Good catch, Carver! Time sure does fly....

    And so it begins.... If we can get the snow we got out of last year's winter....there will always be hope!

    I lived in Holly Hills for 12 years (sold my house in 2014). My kids grew up in that neighborhood. Most of the neighbors I knew are still there. The pictures are mind boggling. My former neighbor's house had the entire main floor taken off...There are tons of trees in that part of the neighborhood which only added to the destruction. I am thankful that no one I know was killed...my former neighbor believes if it had been two hours later and he had been asleep that he probably would not have survived as his bedroom is gone. First pic is his house; that used to be the front porch...we were at the top of a hill in the subdivision. Somehow my old house had just superficial damage. The house down at the bottom of the hill just a few hundred yards away was also unroofed and hammered by trees.

    Fortunately in North Chatt these days. I watched the intense lightning from my back porch which faces east but we probably only had a gust to 45 and I am about a mile northwest of KCHA which had a gust to 59. A lot of coworkers live in that area but so far no one got hurt which is the best news. Dew point rose from 45 at 8am to 67 by 11pm...I don't think I have seen it do that around here before as a preamble to severe weather. Pretty amazing.

    Glad to see you are well, dwag....I saw a pic from Grace Academy...some serious damage. I imagine my old house in Holly Hills got whacked based on what I have seen in the media. Edit: added pic

    Let's drop the politics and side commentary before I have to start swinging the ax.....we have a forum for that you can go sign up for it. It has no place in here. I remember going to Burial last time I was in Asheville! Good stuff! In the meantime, if someone would start up a Spring Summer Fall type forecast discussion thread....I would be most grateful! I fear I will cause a massive heatwave if I start it....

    The weeklies have gone mad the next couple of weeks, also.....

    About over here. What an impressive little event. About 3.5” here.
  15. Mr Bob
    Almost up to two inches now....still more to come.
  16. Mr Bob
    Score in North Chatt this morning. Getting close to an inch now.
  17. Mr Bob
    OMG!!!!!! Foul beast! These are useful in pattern discussions and it is the EPS afterall....We only object to the "Look at this 384 hr GFS. Wish this would happen" type silliness.....
  18. Mr Bob
    It's lovely....just a reminder that fantasy progs go into Banter unless you are supporting some type of theory/forecast....Thanks!

    I don't recall that one...but busts are a part of the biz especially with the modelling back then....the March 2001 disaster was the worst one I remember but that was north of the TN Valley. Stark memories for me on '93, though, I was actually working the extended desk as we called it at TWC back then and remember the debate among us about putting snow and mix all the way down to ATL 5 days out....we went for it. The storm was about as well forecast as anything we had ever seen back in the dark ages of meteorology (compared to today). I also remember coming in that Saturday about 4:30a and the rain was just changing over to snow...there was vivid lightning...When I got inside I heard one of my coworkers saying....its not going to happen here....I let him know it was changing over and by 7am we were buried in snow. It was also the only time in the 12 years I was there, that we were ever off the air....the power failed at 7:30 then the backup generator failed and took them about 15 mins to get it up and running. In all, we ended up with 10" of snow in NW Atlanta...it was closer to a foot up in Marietta where I lived. Fun times!

    The February 1994 ice storm in N MS, W TN and NW AL belongs in here for sure. Up to 6" of ice accumulation in northern MS from this one....can't even imagine! ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/special/iwais96.pdf

    Kinda like Julio on 10/02/2016?

    Damn...guess it is time to pull the garlic...We are selling our house to downsize so the good garden stuff has to wait until next year...
