Lookout Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Well it looks like we are finally going to pay for all of our winter fun. Talk about a boring stretch of weather for the foreseeable future. It seems strange not rushing to the computer when I first get up to check the latest model runs and following them/this board all day. It really sucks and I'm almost feeling withdrawal symptoms not having anything to follow lol What sucks too is we can't even get any good rain or storms out of this warm pattern. If we can't get snow/ice, I wish we could get some storms. I'm itching for some at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtg947h Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I wouldn't think you would have a problem. I was down there just last weekend when it was still "cold" and it was in the upper 50's. Upper 50's is cold... I'm looking for mid-70s and sunny. (I'm probably the only one on the board that hates winter... give me spring storms and summer heat any day...)

If we can't get snow/ice, I wish we could get some storms. I'm itching for some at this point. So it would seem. Like I've said to some people, this winter has been one of the best yet that I've seen in a long while. You folks in parts of GA have done exceptionally well this winter with snow totals and I'm impressed about that. I too have those feelings of withdrawal from model watching. Now I only open one tab instead of 3 or 4 set aside for model data haha. In all honesty though, I'm ready for warm weather to finally prevail. It has been too long since I've last gotten a decent bike ride in and now would be the perfect time to do so with our temperatures getting into the 60s (maybe low 70s for some tomorrow?). I agree though that we could use some rain with the warm pattern. Some of us are still a bit behind and a good downpour ought to help out with that, as well as limit the fire danger that has been going on in some areas of the SE. If no snow or ice, bring on the rain and thunderstorms I say. I'd love to be able to hear and witness a passing thunderstorm again after all of our wintry shenanigans.

griteater Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 One of the most memorable things to me that happened this winter was something that didn't actually occur in the atmosphere. Rather, it was the 3 straight Euro Op runs of a near once in a lifetime storm for this area (for the Christmas storm). Don't know that I'll ever forget that. Here's a sample: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 For those of you wanting winter weather eye candy, check out hours 264-300 of today's 18Z GFS. A NC/SC special 6+ inch early March snowstorm! Of course, it is still way out there in fantasy land, but at least it's something to talk about! Stay away dry heat. This board is dead, we need to bring it back to life... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I learn something everyday here. Never paid much attention to them but had to retrieve the paper from it and just noticed the buds. Here is a picture I took of my one of my dogwood trees during one of our ice events. The blooms that spring were fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This board is dead, we need to bring it back to life... Interesting to note: Has anyone noticed that during the past 2 winters, we seem to have something wintry around the March 1st to 2nd period being modeled in the long range? Makes one wonder if we'll pull it off again this go around. Hard to believe with our current warm pattern but certainly would fit the idea of getting one last hurrah out of winter during March before we close it off. We'll see.

NEGa Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 might have to make some visits to my customers on the golf course lol - definitely a leave work early kind of day Interesting to note: Has anyone noticed that during the past 2 winters, we seem to have something wintry around the March 1st to 2nd period being modeled in the long range?

We'll see. true, and this year is similar (except for the warmth now) to last year. hopefully we will get one more cold shot - which we will i am sure. its just a matter of whether its early march when we can get snow or towards the middle or end when a cold rain would be more likely outside of higher elevations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itunis Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Heading to Colorado for the weekend...funny thing is it will be in the mid 50s to near 60 out in Denver tomorrow and Saturday, so I won't be missing out on too much warmth (until I hit the ski slopes ). Hopefully we can cool back down to near seasonal averages at least for a while, a temporary warm up is nice but I'm not ready for spring quite yet.

jrips27 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I'd really like to start seeing some signs of a colder pattern soon on models. It seems like after the first 15 days of March, winter just turns off and spring arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rankin5150 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Heading to Schofield Wisconsin for Ice Fishing next Thursday.The models keep changing but so far, on the long range, it looks like a decent snow will be setting up while I am on the Tundra. Have crossed the Artic circle 3 times, but never ice fished. So excited. I hope to come back and we are back in some cold here, before winter winds down...

MotoWeatherman Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Pulling for one more of these before winter is over. This is from March 1983 storm in GA. I lived in Jonesboro at the time which is south of the Atlanta airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoWeatherman Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Or I'll take one of these...the biggest IMBY snow I've ever seen of about 8". Also in Jonesboro GA but from 1992 I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nchighcountrywx Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I'm hurting real bad if I don't get at least one more good snow this winter in the NC Mountains. Already going through withdrawal and need at least one more good cross country ski day. Definitely not ready for summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATL_Militarypolice Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 12Z GFS looks like some possible severe weather for portions of the deep south into the southeast late next week. GFS brings 60 degree dewpoints northward ahead of a system expected to track towards the lakes next week. 60-80Kt jet at 500MB lifted indicies range from 0 to -2 across MS into AL northwestern GA then through eastern TN although cape values are low right now, but it's still out there in the long-range plenty of time to watch the models. At least it's something to track. SPC this morning: MOISTURE IS FORECAST TO RETURN NWD BY THU/D7 AS AN ELONGATED UPPER LEVEL JET STREAK AND HEIGHT FALLS OVERSPREAD THE REGION. ALTHOUGH FURTHER OUT IN TIME...THIS SYSTEM APPEARS TO HAVE GREATER SEVERE POTENTIAL ASSOCIATED WITH IT...DUE TO RICHER LOW LEVEL MOISTURE RETURN WITH MID 60S DEWPOINTS. A SEVERE AREA COULD BE NEEDED FOR PORTIONS OF THE LOWER MS VALLEY INTO ERN TX IN LATER OUTLOOKS AS DETAILS BECOME CLEARER. AS FOR D8...THE GENERAL PATTERN IS FORECAST TO REMAIN THE SAME...WITH GULF MOISTURE LURKING NOT TOO FAR AWAY AS COLD FRONT INTRUSIONS REMAIN SHORT LIVED OVER THE WATER.
