Folks in upstate SC, CLT and RDU should not rule out something bigger coming down the pike. We gotta see where we're at tomorrow morning but I'm feeling really confident about where this is going. It won't take much. Let's see what the GFS says. 

Just waiting and watching burger. 48 hrs is drawing close my friend ;)

IF temps cooperate this will be a once in a lifetime storm, the qpf totals the models are spitting out are just insane. heaviest snow in chs was back in 89 with 7" and back in jan 1800 with 7".

Yes. The NAM has been leading the way so far, so maybe the GFS and others trend towards the NAM with temperatures. The Euro is cold, just doesn't have that much precipitation.

I'll be in church from about 9:30 to 12:15 and will be offline during that time. So when I get back on, if the page count has increased by more than 7 from what it is at 9:30, I'll know things look good. Less than 3 would indicate unfavorable trends.

Page count increased by 6. Decent run for the Americans.

BR ratio based on 60 people like yesterday = 30:2

Snow ratio should be fluffy, 15:1? Temps in 20s, just don't know if it gets up here! Crush job would be sweet, but 1-3 inches with non- marginal temps would be pure joy!

 

I'm hoping for that, too.  Sure, I'd love more, but to see snow fall in non-marginal temperatures for the first time in years would be fun.  I think you and I are going to be on the outside looking in, unfortunately, but you never know...

Here comes the Euro. I am so confused with the "Southern energy is stronger and a tad west", "northern energy is east". I can usually tell what's going on in the pbp, but this time I can't tell if these statements are good or bad!

Agree ! With all these pbps, it would be nice to have a little more info like: northern stream a tick west, looks good or not what we want?

You want the Northern energy more west and the southern energy/Baja low more east so the northern energy can pick up the Baja low and phase, that would bring much more moisture/snow up through inland areas. So as long as you know which one needs to trend which way, you're good. lol

Much appreciated, Jon!  I knew that the inland folks want a phase to ramp up the precip further North and West.  If the Euro is holding back the Baha low and showing it's bias, then the metro Charlotte and Raleigh could be in for a major event.  It's funny being on the NW side of a track for a change.  I keep thinking that we will see more NW precip shield than what is modeled now.  I have been burned too many times with that shift in the past.  I know that this is a different setup and it may not work out, but I still don't want to be in the Bullseye 60+ hours from an event.

My gut tells me the coast is going to get screwed. I think atlanta does well and places between Atlanta and Macon are going to be digging out.

 

I agree. I really think people should avoid getting stuck on what the Euro is doing with that southern energy. For me personally I just need to stop trending so far south. If it can just stay 50 miles north of progged it's a big time hit.

lol, has nothing to do with you being located near atlanta im sure.

I like to play the climo odds. A coastal dumping would be a rare event. The less crazy scenario is areas farther inland getting plastered. If I were within 50 miles of the coast I'd be sweating. I also think more moisture gets thrown north and the eventual track is slightly warmer and north.

Yes, it is wish casting which is why it's here but don't think it can't happen!
