For such a big event, it is absolutely dead in here. Is there another weather board open somewhere?

I'm here. :) In answer to your other question, I look at PSU ewall for euro graphics, but they're not much better than Plymoth....well, maybe a little. But it seems like something's wrong with the PSU site today. The 12Z and 18Z model data looks like it hasn't updated today.

On another note, it's frustrating how all these big storms and cutoffs always seem to close off over MS/Al or whatever and move NE up west of Central SC/NC. We keep getting these thin bands of rain that seem to break apart over central sections of the state, while all the good weather stays West. :angry:

It was like this leading up to the Christmas storm last year. Struck me as odd that the busiest times here are when there's no weather to speak of and when a monster is knocking at the door this place is a veritable ghost town.

Maybe everyone is getting bread and milk. :)

For us, it's another yawner....hopefully that's not the theme for us this winter, missing out on last Jan 10th's storm still ticks me off.

part of it is that while its close, it appears to be a near miss for most of the se posters as far as wintry weather. the heavy rain is still a couple of days out and we all know how fast and drastically we can get screwed out of even a really good rainstorm. any potential flakes for most of us would be tue or wed and its still just a little too far out (and too early) to get excited. not to mention its thanksgiving weekend

from the MBY perspective, ne ga and the upstate may be screwed in this set up lol

How do you think we can get screwed in this set up?

lol sorry i was speaking in generalities from past experience (and relating to snow or wintry weather. not as much getting screwed out of rain, other than the drought years a few years ago). many times there have been storm warnings, snow warnings for a lot of snow, etc issued and maintained even in the morning of the day of the event, when its obvious by looking at radar etc. that it aint gonna happen.

also, it doesnt usually take much of a jog of a storm system to bring in enough warm air for 33 and rain or get the 32 temps and just not enough moisture. the last two years were great, but the many years prior we kept getting screwed over and over lol

generally, when i see the radar lit up, and movement is 'as it should be' according to the models, etc i start to relax

Well if you consider 3"+ of rain screwed, than your super screwed! :-)

If they were calling for pure snow and we ended up getting 3+" of rain, then I'd say I was super screwed...happened March of '09...but since they're calling for a lot of rain, then I have no higher expectations and we need the rain anyhow...didn't want it all in one shot, but I'll take it.

Few more folks browsing. Good to hear from everyone. My TN team got it handed to them today - not in the best of moods due to that. Really, that should have no bearing on one's mojo but it did! Dang, I hate watching my team lose. Anyway, even if this low doesn't pan out...it's a pretty interesting set-up. Like a few have said, this pattern could throw as a grain of corn sooner or later. Cut-offs are notorious for being modeled badly. I think of those hurricanes that just jog around w/ no steering current. While I don't think this one has quite that potential, when a storm is left to wander...the models don't handle it well. That said, looks like most of the snow will go north and west of here unless it really "spins up" (may not be the best meteorological term). Glad it's winter. Best board on the planet here.

Sorry lol. Jeesh I am not making sense tonight apparently. I was speaking in generalities to the question Of where everyone was. I don't think we will get screwed out of rain this time - we look to get pounded. My NE ga/upstate reference was that the model snowfall outputs seem to be missin mby and the upstate by about 1 county tue-wed lol if the trajectory is wrong, mby gets the dreaded downslope warming and drying out :(

Hoping to see a few snowflakes here in Rabun, but only expecting a great rain event....my cats and dogs aren't gonna like it, might need a boat later on to get around in...lol, but I see where you're coming from now.

Yeah, me too.

On another note, how bout that Pack today? 2nd biggest comeback in ACC history. That game contained two of the worst halves of football I've ever seen.
