i remember vividly the feb 2010 snow that dropped like 8" in summerville (15 miles from downtown chas) and the models picked up on it early and kept it nearly every run from 5-6 days out.  

 

i know this is my inner weenie talking but man it is fun to have something to track down here.

you are right.  It will not snow if it is going to get as cold as models are showing.  Not here, not a substantial snow anyway.  Flurries don't excite me.  If we don't get something the next ten days we will miss out with cold as the ridge will be back and though we can still get something it will be a lot harder.  We can wish, beg, all we won't that's just life in the SE.  

basically after a very wet and somewhat cool summer, most likely we will end up having a cold and dry winter.

I'm looking a lot closer in than you guys.  Goofy's pushed it back to Monday, but it's been bringing in southern rain to Ga for some runs now, after it being a tiny blob in mid Fla a few days ago, and a full blow low a week or so back.  I think Goofy wants to bring me some sleet late weekend, early week.  I'm encouraging it all I can...I have the Moles on it.  NWS says I'll be at or below freezing at night the whole time.  Just depends on the next cold blast not pushing out the rain that wants to come up.  DP's should be a help, if it's day time..but usually these things come at night, so I'll be good...if...if the rain comes up.  Tony

Again here is RAH's statement:

AND PROVIDE THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY FOR A MORE

Exactly what it did at 6z and 12z today.

That one still came north at the last minute some (or at least the precipitation field did). I somehow picked up a couple inches IMBY from that one way up here in north-central NC. It was an amazing, widespread storm.

Anyways, I like the trends today, but I do feel I might be too far west. A good I-95 special might be in order.

I hope Larry can take a look at some data I sent his way.  I've been showing him some stuff for CHS and he's trying to figure out if the Euro is horrible or being consistent.  Looking like it might be consistent and different members generating heavier amounts of precip for us in the SE.  Which in his basic words is a great sign to prove there aren't members who always show large amounts of snow as a bias.

 

I took a look man.. down that way on the EPS... you look okay.

 

KCHS has 14/51 Euro members (00z) showing accumulating snow.  One member  is closer to 10-12", another 6-8", some 5-6" etc.  Definitely not a bad look for KCHS!

With strong blocking like Feb 2010 the models should be able to model storms 5-6 days out fairly well, with these progressive patterns it's to fast.  The NAO looks neutral, with a strong -AO, so maybe the models can start being more accurate from day 5/6.

As it probably will for the continuing model runs...never bet against the NW trends.

totally different pattern. We had a juiced southern stream with blocking and the euro did fantastic that year even from 7 days out. Since then we have been in a progressive northern stream dominated flow which is why the euro has been subpar even at day 5.

Good point; but still darn cold around this time-frame.

What do you think about the ridge out west collapsing so quickly? Just a post truncation type thing?

euro ensembles break it down so its correct. I will be glad to see it go. I just hope the negw nao it is advertising trends stronger with the -ao and epo. I would hate to end the . Year with more subzero days than inches of snow. And that looks possible even above 5000ft here in macon county.

This thread is a disaster. Guys it's one run. Let's see what the Euro says and then see what they both say over the weekend.   :wacko:

 

Yeah, it's only one.  However the EURO this morning had a similar placement.  With the 12Z GFS, they're in agreement with the LOW off the coast.  I agree though, this weekend will tell the tale.

Well yea there is a chance....it's just arguing about placement, qpf, etc... that kills me. GFS ENS says some members might be pretty juiced. Has more moisture further west into NC.
