What happened to "Keep the hope alive!"?  That sentiment dried up quickly.

 

Relax, Brick.  You've got a lot better chance of seeing snow than you have anytime in the past two years.

 

This is what drives me crazy. He'll cash in better than 80% of this board and when the next one comes around he'll complain about how he never gets snow and it's so unfair.  :axe:

Just some folks like Foothills and a few others are really talking up this storm, and then it seems the maps are showing less and less, and some folks keep saying like a dusting. I can't help but to think this might be a big time fail in my area.

What is Foothills calling for in your area?

A weenie post (that's why it's here), but temps are staying colder than predicted today (for piedmont NC). Currently in the low 40s. We're been in the 40s for a long period now and if "if" we get snow may help drop ground temps a bit to help with some accumulation.

 

My temps have also been held down today. Only 42* currently and we were forecasted to reach 55.

Not too excited about much here in this area. I would expect a brief period of snow before the precip pulls out, regardless of what the model snow maps show (they are almost always overdone by a mile). And if the north trend continues, then I'll be even less optimistic. But hey, I'm just glad there's a chance of some snow.

You are making me sad.

See my post in the storm thread. After 36 hours the 700mb low is decaying pretty quick.

Foothills is not talking about your backyard.

I be hatin Ima gonna get nada IMBY.. :weenie:

That's as of now.  ULL's are like herding cats.  They go where they decide to go, do what they decide to do.  You might end up with all of it. Might end up with a now cast, and still not be sure :) 

What's pathetic is how the cold air can't make it into Ga.  Not a good sign in the long range.  Counting on a storm to bring it's own cold is a losing proposition most times. Two winters in a row where any artic blast stops at the Tenn. line is spooky scary.  Sure it gets cold even in a bad winter, but no freezing in Cuba on the GFS, well that's Mayan Poxyclipz stuff, lol.

Bevo, what are you thinking for our general area? I almost wish we were out of the money completely because then it wouldn't even tease me at all. It might just come down to precip rates.

 

Honestly, I don't know that we can call it yet.  It's so close - but if I had to give an estimate, I'd say Hwy 11 will be the judge in this case.  I would rather be sitting in TR than this close to I-85.  Either way, there will be a lot of rain falling for a while.  

 

If the track and strength maintain what NAM showed earlier (and being optimistic), north of I-85 could see 1"-3" of a slushy mess after all is said and done (more as you reach the northern parts of upstate counties).  Those rates look solid enough.

The rates look solid, but it almost looks like an extension of the foothills snow shadow is going to make its way down here. Of course I'm not too sure; I've only lived in SC since the end of August.

 

The way things are looking now I'd be happy to see snow fall and thrilled with a sloppy inch. There's a little weenie "mountain" about a mile from campus (Paris Mountain I think). Maybe they'll get a foot.

 

Edit: I checked. It's somehow over 2000ft elevation. Weird
