Lol. Should me re-named Helms Deep Hwy. I've been worried about these 850's all week. I don't have the advantage of any phasing over here just to your west, it's all gonna be defo or go home over here. Hopefully I can squeeze 6 out of this maybe another 8 before I get rained on next week. Definitely think better totals as it moves East. May have to put up with some slop in the beginning . Of course last weekend the models slashed totals right up to the event and we basically got what they were spitting out 72 hours prior.

DARPA built some kind of weather machine inside I70. It's uncanny how many times the battle of good and evil is right along that road lol.

That GFS run was like Snowfreak cranked the magnet to 11 then blew the power grid releasing the low to jump back east lol.

If this coming weekend pans out with possible warning criteria fro MN to MO all the way east to the Mid Atlantic and NE one things for sure. This weather board is going to crash lol.

Gonna start calling setups like these "Buckeye" specials.

Can't help it that's the Battle of Helms Deep man!

This needs its own discussion thread, and a soundtrack.

Any molded before 12Z Thursday is over/under/sideways done as far as I'm concerned.

Da Bears

These models are as chaotic as hanging out with Henry Chinaski at the Golden Horn.

Just north up here I've measure about 1.5. That was one snow, probably another inch on top of that in .25 inch increments. Sad but I don't expect much around here until J/F unless we get a N/D surprise. I'm still optimistic but if I start seeing a suppressed storm track as the cold sets in I'm gonna need some mind altering medication, not the fun kind lol. Only thing I can say so far is my heating bill has free'd up some cash.

Don't trust it. Every 12 hours these models are showing something different. They are grasping at the timing as the only cold air around is at night. Have a storm pass after 11am and its rain. Have a storm pass after 9pm it's snow. The LL temps are oscillating in that 25 to 35 range daily. Just shows what happens when the Pacific takes a leak on our jet streams. If it pans out I will definitely be de- suppressed lol.

At least the complaint thread isn't "Hot" anymore lol.

My dogs, my bones and my beard and nature around here are hip to that 100%!

My dogs (New Foundlands and Landsears) winter coats are thicker than I've ever seen them and this old mans beard has been growing twice as fast the past couple months (weird but it seriously has). According to those 2 forecast models we have a brutal stretch coming up in Jan-Feb. lol.

Already trending good, 48 hours ago wasn't even there lol.

Don't know how long you'll be there but we always try to hit the Foellinger-Freimann Botanical Conservatory especially around Xmas it's pretty cool. PS: When you first came to this forum I told you the weather around here can send you to the looney bin lol.

Well at least we can live vicariously in these modern time. l will say big snows in the Blue Ridge are something speial to experience. http://www.resortcams.com/webcams/king-street-boone/

Compare this map to the natural tracks of storms across the conus...

Sure there are in the geographic carving of this board, I never said there weren't. I said density. You also said NE AND Mid Atlantic. Combining the East coast bias of this board (it was originally Eastern Wx and manifest destined its way west to American Wx) with the fact that due to natural storm tracks a single event will tend to affect a greater population of the subs you mention than a single event in this sub. You're naturally going to get more IMBY posts from those subs. The late Nov. storm here was boring IMBY but was a big deal to the NW. A gulf hurricane such as Michael will affect nearly every state in the SE sub. The tornadoes of 2013 here only affected parts of 2 states for the most part yet it was one of the biggest fall tornado outbreaks in history. I mean just the NYC sub has almost twice as many posts as all the other subs, is their weather all that exciting? Density, IMBY posts. Perhaps I misunderstood your Midwest is boring comment.

You're seriously going to compare the Midwest with the NE/Mid Atlantic areas which are the most densely populated areas of the country? Sorry, I perused the SE boards for many years (still do) when I lived there and if there wasn't a cane or a severe outbreak there wasn't a whole lot to talk about except 95 75 every day during the summer and 40 and rain during the winter. Sure they got a good snow storm last year and again this year. It was a pretty "boring" board outside of that last winter. I can guarantee you if Cat 3 was ready to make landfall in Chicago the thread would crash this site. When we get our once or twice a decade "Big Dog" you'll see the lurkers come out. A 6" snow isn't "that" big of a deal around here. I think you'll find that the posting here is petty consistent throughout the year no matter the weather extremes, something I really like. And btw, just because you live in a geographic area doesn't limit you to your posts or anything else. I post and read other areas of the country where I've lived and am familiar with the weather. Don't judge just because it hasn't happened in the couple years you've been here. Edit: You have the right to your opinion and it is respected, kinda a "Midwest" thing. But for someone that's supposedly from the deep south you certainly sound like a Carpetbagger when you post something like that. Just rubbed me the wrong way being born in the midwest but spent more than half my life in the deep south. Peace

The SE storm thread for this weekend has 4k posts lol. I'd say they be a little excited.

I'll take 10 days of nickle dime January cutters. Normally if we get a big dog it's preceded and followed my mud making warmth. Seems that's the best way to pile up a snow pack around here.

Get used to "Wedge's" and "CAD's". When I first moved to SC from Fl. 17 years ago I didn't know what the heck they were talking about. thought they we're sandwiches lol. We got about 4 or 5 inches of snow in Charleston area around '07 I think. You'd a thought it was the blizzard of '78! Its looking like the Piedmont may be looking at their biggest storm in decades from GSP's AFD.... We are approaching increases in the official fcst QPF cautiously since even modest snow ratios from these values would result in snow/sleet accumulations that might be a once-in-a-generation event for parts of the Piedmont
