"Thanks Andy, long way to go with more twists & turns I'm sure. People get sick of hearing about the Mnts getting snow, but it hasn't been a bed of roses here. I know 85 & the Boone boys have had some good ones but it has been almost 2 yrs since I have seen anything over a 2" lay. I am not complaining but after 2009-2010, 2010-2011 it has been slim pickins."

 One addition:  Weenie Wilt - the condition that occurs when you realize you aren't getting any.  (I mean snow you perverts)

 

LOL 

 

I've seen this happen.  I can recall a guy from Greensboro, per another weather site, go ballistic when his area didn't receive any snow during the early-January 2011 snowstorm.  He was somewhat giddy about their chances of snow, and talking about how much he was anticipating the flakes flying.

 

He was rather ticked (especially, at a couple of his local mets) once things were finally sinking in that he wasn't gonna get "any."

oops I'm guilty of using agreement amongst the mets and the informed  (especially the awsome ones on this board, like MSUWX, Robert, GAWX, Moto, Foothills, and the multitude of others from North Carolina, etc), local and surrounding NWS offices, then Ray and KM,  as a tool.  

 

But one that it left out, that I use extensively, is if that the amount of snow to be expected is in direct proportion to the arguing and namecalling on the boards.  and the snarkiness usually peaks just before snow hits.  So while I honstly enjoy the back and forth and witty put-downs, as long as no one gets their feelings hurt too bad, its a good learning tool; but I'm ready for some more harmony if for nothing else because it will mean the snow chances are up. 

Snow always makes things better ;)

Will those little blue fertilizer pills help this condition?

What are you talking about? I posted the RAH hazardous outlook and the comment on the storm thread first, and then I deleted it and posted it on this thread.

 Try and read what others post sometimes.  The RAH outlook was posted in the storm thread and there it still is.

Okay, I've got an IMBY question, so I'll post it here in banter.  I am curious as to the warm bubble of 850 mb temps depicted on hour 54 of the 18Z NAM.  See boxed portion below:

Earlier today, Robert posted about the thermal profiles all working themselves out over time.  Given that the 500 mb vorticity chart shows a closed low (at the same forecast hour on the same run of the NAM) centered over GSP, is that bubble of warmth very likely considering the sub-freezing 850 mb all around it?  I thought that being to the N/NW of the closed low was usually the sweet spot.  Anyway, any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.  The sounding for that forecast hour is not available to me yet.  Of course, this is one run of a NAM still 2.5 days early, so things would obviously change, but I am curious.
