Usually that kind of cold does move out quick. Still if it happens and if somebody was to have snow cover this kind of cold could produce below zero temps. It's been sometime since I've seen that.

 

Didn't Atlanta record a high of 17F on February 5th, 1996 after a similar situation?

Thanks man. Major winter storm incoming on that map.

The details of the potential storm is just banter at this range, but looking at the 18z GFS brought back memories if the January 1996 storm. I was living in Wake Forest and we received 14 hours of sleet. The below map depicts 4-6 inches of snow/sleet but that was mostly sleet. Amazing storm. Would not mind seeing another one of those.

This is just sad, just throw in the towel.  Sadly in the back of my mind I was still thinking this was going to come together for a -AO in Feb.

The outlook for the AO for February favors more neutral to perhaps negative conditions developing after the first week of February as influences of the minor stratospheric warming event continue to be felt.

 

Edit:  I looked, rather quickly, but we haven't had a +ENSO/+PDO winter where all 3 months the AO was +.  Atleast one of the months was negative, but that's what we are looking at while staring at a record SAI.  Only 2 of the 15 winters didn't average negative for DJF (83 and 05) and both of those barely avg positive (.15 or so).

Just give it up man. You'll feel so much better. We are not going to get any sort of blocking of any kind until winter is over. It just doesn't happen anymore.

I can't tell you why, but I don't remember that storm at all.

I'm waiting till next Tuesday before I jump aboard for "Fabulous February". These models are crazy and could easily be doing a repeat performance of this entire winter so far.

Fwiw I haven't even been paying attention to tomorrow and didn't realize we had a severe weather threat here. Awesome!

What's up man? How's it going?

It feels like we will never see a -NAO again,  1 out of the past 13 winter months (DJF) has had a -NAO (including this winter).   And its no coincidence that in those winter months we have had about 10" of snow total, which roughly spans 4 1/3 winters leaving us at roughly 35% of climo.  That's why I am so bleak on any snow the rest of this winter, no blocking no now for us, usually.

 

We are setting a record here for a +ENSO/+PDO winter to have all 3 months with a +AO, so we got that going for us.

Webber with some strong posts today. I'm not a big fan of the Miller B screw though. That often results in a change to rain for us.

 

Yepper and with no blocking.  I wonder how many miller b's we have had with no blocking.  If you see his composite what does it show that sticks out like a sore thumb compared to what we are hoping will produce a winter storm in 10 days.....

 

His composite is beautiful, PV has shifted into SE Quebec, blocking over the top, suppressed storm rack, tall ridging in the west.  We have 2 of those items but not the most important.

 

Edit:  I also am not saying Webber is hyping this potential event, he was simply saying it won't be a miller A, if something does occur.  I was just re-using his composite to make a point about the red herring...
