It's running up the apps now?  Maybe we should be glad we didn't have a HP over the lakes and we were only dependent on track.  See, silver lining to everything.

 

Clipper still in play for Mon/Tues?

 

Haha, I have no idea why I said apps runner.  I meant I-95 runner.  My brain inserted the word "apps' without my eyeballs catching it.

I was going to say, that would be almost impossible.  But, still may tick back east to get western NC in play.  Although, 95 runner ain't bad for Boone.

Lol we had good temps but it was suppressed, now it's gonna be a nor'easter. Typical SE weather.

Yeah the real kick in the groin is the fact that dc and the mid atlantic will get hit. It's one thing to be missed, we are all used to that, but man it's like throwing acid in an open wound when dc ends up being the winners as the result of us losing.

Absolutely. I wouldn't mind losing out and seeing these fine NC folks get some. But when it's the MA and NE it's sickening. It's like seeing a rich kid get that brand new truck while we are stuck driving a 99 honda.

The clipper looks off the table now. Can't believe it changed that much in one run on the GFS. 

 

It is hard not to get excited about the end of the month into February, but models have changed so much outside 3 days it is hard to believe anything.

I believe that you have no idea what the GFS maps actually shows.

It's still a very warm snowstorm.

This is the answer.  This is how we frame the winter of 2014/2015.  Plenty of snowstorms!!  Just warm ones.  

 

I gave up weeks ago.  When all of Russia and Siberia looks like a Samsung Freezer commercial our chances aren't too good for long lasting cold.  Another bad sign for us this spring, I have noticed an abundance of stink bugs still alive OUTSIDE!  We could have a plague of those damn things come May.

For me, as much as I like the NC folks, it would hurt more if they got snow and we didn't. DC is like 700 miles away so I honestly don't care about them. They are supposed to get snow. Just like places like Chicago are supposed to get snow. Would everyone feel as bad if Chicago got snow and we didn't ? Why do people on this forum care more about the weather in the northeast than the Midwest ?

lol exactly..and just like a spoiled rich kid during the storm or right after they will complain about getting 6 inches instead of 10 or a foot. Then toward the end of winter/spring they will complain about how much the winter sucked and how hard they have had it, despite getting  nailed several times with snows that we would kill for.

I don't feel this way about any other region, including the northeast/new england. I only get annoyed with dc/mid atlantic. and the reason it bugs me is   because for years I/we had to listen to their endless complaining before we broke up the board into subforums. Plus most of the time when we have a storm trend the wrong direction and it screws us,  it usually means  they are going to get hit. So not only did I/we have to listen to their absurd complaining over storms we would love and appreciate, at the same time we would be sitting here with our 35 to 40 degree rain.

 

Oh and at the time when many of us were just starting out and learning, there were only a handful of mets on the board and 99% of the focus from them was concentrated on dc/the mid atlantic. There could be a serious threat of a major winter storm in the southeast and not a single met would touch upon it. Instead, they all only cared about if DC was going to get a dusting or not. And to top it off, 99% of the time they all tried their best to find ways for the storm to screw us so DC could get theirs. It was maddening :axe:

 

Fortunately, we no longer are forced to read that crap lol. Still though, it left an impression on me that lingers to this day and it still gets under my skin every time :arrowhead:

 

All this is why i laugh at those today complaining about north carolina getting so much attention when it pales in comparison to the DC/mid atlantic snow obsession back then. You younger/newer folks would really blow a gasket if you all were around back then lol

Yeah, from what I have read others say, things looks really good for a storm around the first of February. It looks like the ingredients we need for a good one are coming together. The GFS clown map is insane for 2/3.

After everything we've gone through this winter so far, I don't see how anyone can take any threats outside of 7 days seriously. Brick, I'm not trying to single you out, I'm just tired of seeing people act like there's truth to these fantasy storms when the models have proven time after time that they can't get their acts together even withing 48 hours of a storm. Now, if this storm does verify 10 days from now, I'll gladly eat crow, because I want to see something frozen just as much as everyone else.

Just look at the wild swings the storm this friday has taken.  First, models were showing a nice snowstorm for the southeast, then it was suppressed all to hell with very cold 850's.  Now, it's a huge rainstorm with temperatures torching, although they have cooled somewhat with more recent runs.

I disagree that the models have shown lots of good lucks that didn't verify this winter. What has happened is one model has shown some potential for something to happen if about 50 things go right and it continues to change in the direction of snow, which hasn't happened. The ensembles have shown some storms but they are designed to show all of the possible scenarios, not the most likely. Much of the SE forum pain this winter has been self inflicted. I don't recall the models showing a look at good as the one they are showing for the beginning of February at any point this winter but I haven't been following them as closely as some.
