Off topic..What is this "warn status" junk showing up below my profile pic? Can it be removed?

That is your warn bar, as long as it is empty you are in good shape. A much deserved carryover from eastern and lets the user know whether or not they have some deficiencies as far as the mod staff is concerned. I would not put much stock into it at this point as it usually lights up, as warranted, during active periods. Still a warning though to those out there whose posts are sub-par, consistently, and identified as such. :guitar:

Not to sound to elementary schoolish, but how come nobody else has that? I rarely even post, much less stir the pot.

your warn status is private, as between you and the staff... As long as the bar is empty, you are in good shape, no worries! No one else can see your warn stat, except for mods and admin. Nothing to fret, just a simple formality that preserves and maintains the integrity of the board during active periods... :thumbsup:

Good grief. I understand now, and totally agree w/ its use. I thought other folks could see it! Sorry. I just turned forty...maybe that's factoring in... :whistle:

I see you point of sounding in areas where Elevation varies greatly. But I would bet that most folks use it within the bag of tricks. Hard to pin point soundings for exact Elevations.

With that said, I use the $hit out of soundings for my area (roughly around to sightly over 1,100') in the winter.

Soundings have worked for me in my area. By the way I get soundi gs from the euro now so that should come in handy this winter. Also I live in the mtns and I am not reall expecting anything other that a few flurries or light snow showers.

From AccuWx pro? Those technically arent soundings if that's what you're referencing. However, it's 100% more information than we used to have.

I can't help but notice that the title of this thread is "Thanksgiving weekend snow/ice threat", but I am really failing to see much of a threat at all. Note that I am not discussing anything for December - just the coming weekend.

The past several runs of the GFS, including the intermediate runs, have been modifying the cold air that is due to arrive on Thursday/Friday, depending on where you live in the Carolina's. Just a few days ago for Asheville, it progged 850mb temps near -10°C and as of the latest run, they've been warmed to only -3°C - and with minimal, if any precipitation. I definitely don't see temperatures falling 30-40 degrees as was stated in the opening post in this thread.

Let's remember that the long-range GFS has always had a known bias for it's super intense cold air outbreaks, only to slowly modify them over each successive model run.

There is little doubt that it will be noticeably cooler this weekend over the warmth we are experiencing now. But it won't be nearly as bad as initially forecast.

This :hug:

Tepid cold chasing the moisture. Now the one around the 5th has a low in the favorable parts of Fla. Were that to verify, with some actual cold air, it might have legs :) If we could only figure out a way to live in the long range Goofy....we'd be sledding all the time, lol. T

And this :wub:

Lol, well, relatively speaking...anything over 25 after the summer/fall I've endured will seem tepid :) T

Remember, last year I predicted a sleetacane for you this upcoming winter. Looks now to be around the 29th of Dec.

FYI, did you know in a sleetacane that most people die from the sleet surge, not the sleet itself ?

The threat is there, mainly just for TN now.

I definitely don't see temperatures falling 30-40 degrees as was stated in the opening post in this thread.

Not saying the 18zGFS is right but it clearly shows 30 degree drops with the frontal passage in TN and MS
