CherokeeGA Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I think it is funny you said melting down when there will never be anything to actually melt down. Not looking like it so far, is it? Though, I've seen plenty of years get a later start than this one. I will say, probably not quite so many people will blindly buy into the "statistical comparisons" in future. Yes, statistical similarities are interesting, and they are absolutely valid topics of study and conversation, but they shouldn't generate any sort of expectation that it will work out the same way this time as it did last time we had a X October or a Y November or a Z December or whatever. I think a lot of people saw the concluding "similarities" paragraphs and just assumed it would all unfold the same way. The Earth has been here a long arse time. We have been (somewhat) accurately recording weather data for a couple hundred years, give or take, and many fewer years than that for some types of the data, because we're still inventing the technology. I have no idea why we want to believe that a mere 100-150 years' worth of spotty data out of millions qualifies as any kind of a truly accurate statistical indicator of what will happen next. Foolish mortals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 4k NAM gives Waycross 2 wintry events over the next 24 hours. Winter uncancel maybe. If its snow tonight and we get ice tomorrow, I'm rubbing it in all y'all faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Track Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I think going into next year I will pay all the Mets to refrain from doing a Winter Forecast. Just give me the box of chocolates baby!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 When is that one from, James? And will we EVER see a surface map like that again? Edit: By the way, to this day, those are the best surface maps ever created...the ones that looked like that. Give me those over any that you can generate today.

That was January '96 ("The Blizzard of '96"). I love those old TWC surface maps, too. I love the yellow blotches for fog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjames1992 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I think I got screwed in that one. I always liked the peach color for ice! I think it was a raging sleet storm in Raleigh. Lots of it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshetley Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Yes. This. I'll take this. Move that 50 miles south and it would be perfect. My area did not do well in 1996 from any of those storms. The best from them were in NC and I-85 north in SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowNiner Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 CLT didn't do much for those storms either. Still waiting on my Feb 2004 redux. Actually I'll take Feb 2014 redux actually too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshetley Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Jan 24 2000 would be nice too. We got just under 1 foot here from that. We ended up right at a foot from the Feb 2004 storm. And I think all of us would take Jan 1988 and be very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshM Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I'd just liked to have had a nice snow covered ground tonight with a calm wind and that 1060mb high right over head :shiver: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookout Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Spoke of the potential for cold last week and sure enough once again cold and snow effected areas that aren't very accustomed to it. Jerusalem has been hit by a blizzard. Also, some areas went 50 years without seeing snow but 2 years in a row they get hit. http://www.theweathernetwork.com/news/articles/snow-blankets-the-middle-east-as-rare-winter-storm-affects-area/43170/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcbjr Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 At least enjoy this cold shot before you , guys! One thing Jon, our NWS sure missed it - called for 50's and windy today; was 65 and calm. They say 25 tonight, but it sure doesn't feel like it'll break 32. But no cliff here ... we still have magic to pull out of that old hat !!!!

I predict the low IMBY to be in the low to mid 20s tonight, not 16F or 17F like they are saying. With calm winds tomorrow night I think it will be a couple of degrees colder, probably around 20, with some of the colder spots in the high teens.
