  1. The biggest reason to be pessimistic is lack of cold air. Even with a perfect track we would likely be all cold rain. The only path to snow at this point is for the storm to stall just off shore and wrap cold air around. A tall order for sure.
  2. Doesn't raising the resolution just make it exactly the same as the current OP? Because the control is just a low resolution version of the OP currently?
  3. The southern stream energy comes ashore Thursday evening so the weenie playbook says we can't write this one off until then.
  4. Still seeing some big chances in the overall look.
  5. Wackiest run of the year. Easily.snowing in the piedmont at 189. Maybe the only way we can win is something like this where it gets delayed so much the cold can work back in.
  6. It certainly is. If there were more cold air in Canada this run would be a major ice storm. It seems to have evacuated the building however.
  7. A weaker/further north HP and the storm track is ideal but too warm at the surface. A stronger HP and it's cold enough but too far south. We kinda gotta hope that modeling is just not putting all the possible scenarios on the table right now. FWIW the GEFS mean is showing a bit of CAD. That may be our only path to frozen. Which would depend on a relatively weak HP, but the low in Atlantic Canada needs to be strong enough and in an ideal spot
  8. The trend is clear. I wouldn't quite write this one off yet though.
  9. For sure. More or less the same. Not good trends today but we still have time. it's actually quite common to have storms disappear due to suppression squashing them into the Gulf. Probably just as common as the NW trend leading to rain rather than snow. Kinda makes sense with all the big rex block, and positive tilt
  10. GFS looking juiced so far down in Texas. Let's see if we can get a little step in the right direction
  11. As previously alluded to, a little white rain possible Wednesday morning
  12. Been a while since we've seen anything this promising on the means. Let's see if it holds at 12z
  13. I know a better pattern is likely coming, but goodness, the fact this is rain is just depressing.
  14. Yeah it's definitely quite warm at the surface right now but if the coastal can get going it's got a shot. Problem is these late blooming coastals have been slow to develop and supressed all winter.
  15. Absolutely good storm tracks and the 540 line nearby they whole run. Of course 0Z was much less enthusiastic, so as you say we really need this to get inside 5 days to take seriously
  16. Even including the Dec 2018 snowstorm in the data, the last 5 years have been abysmal, with 38% lower than normal snow over that span. Mor than half of the snowfall in the last 5 years came from the 2018 storm
  17. Let's see if this one gains any traction. Not a typical system in our area, almost like a clipper
  18. True. 40 degrees drizzle wedge is what we do best!
  19. At least we won't have to endure storm threats 10 days out?
  20. Make or break is the first week of February
  21. For sure. it's currently 21/11 in Birmingham Alabama. Little Rock has been below freezing since Saturday afternoon. Also the projected difference in temps between just east of the mountains and just west is wild for tomorrow morning. Negative teens in Eastern TN and teens here, or 52 degrees below average in TN and 15 degrees below average here
  22. The 6z GFS features a period with 7 out of 8 days having measurable precip. Might as well just swap climates with Seattle
