Yea, I'm with you , knew it was this weekend, cold is real deal. I've been saying for days this week was glowing with potential, enough to gurantee a shutout was getting erased for us, even if it's a 2 hour front end thump of a half inch of cement and flakes. Easy pattern to recognize for such a small quest. And to think everyone sent brick to bed with those horrific gfs images in his head, yall ought to be ashamed.

This is now looking like a two pronged cold attack with a winter storm in between. This is our best look all winter thanks to this arctic outbreak. Multiple nights in the mid teens is pretty darn cold for my neck of the woods.

Yeah, the post-storm outbreak looks potentially more brutal and deeper than the pre-storm one, especially if there is snow or ice on the ground.

delayed but not denied!!!

THE AIRMASS COMING INTO THE EAST DURING THE SHORT RANGE WILLPRODUCE ANOTHER ROUND OF FRIGID AIR LASTING INTO FRIDAY. WITH ASUBSTANTIAL SNOWPACK, AREAS FROM THE NORTH CAROLINA PIEDMONTTHROUGH THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION WILL LIKELY SEE RECORD DAILY LOWS,AND IN SEVERAL CASES THE LOWEST READINGS IN DECADES.

 

Not fair..euro and gfs showing sub zero temps widespread across north carolina possibly two mornings in a row with highs only in the teens while we only manage single digits to around 10/low teens for lows and mid to upper 20s thur and 30 to 35 fri. I mean if it's going to be cold, i wish it would do something truly special here..instead us in ga/sc have to put up with more or less miserable run of the mill cold...while folks just to our north bask in the glory of something truly historic.

Hey Lookout, well when my pipes burst on Thursday I'll gladly let you stay with me and help cleanup the mess :P

 

You'd get at least one day of historic cold that way.

:clap:  Could not agree more! WNC getting to teens below zero and WV getting to 30s below and we get to what, 8-10? Boorrrriinnggg!

Bring the real cold - wanna see some negative readings here too. You NC guys have all the fun.

Sub Zero would be nice to see in Marietta, I guess the lack of snowpack here is going to keep the temps 10-15 higher than in NC/TN

lol... high heating bills and only 3 inches of snow via 1/2 inch here one inch there, mostly on November is something you can have. I like cool/cold weather in the fall and thru the holidays. After that I will take it with snow to play in. trust me being Below 0 is not too fun.

Yeah but its a bad year for you snowwise. A bad year for you is a good year for me. Plus you get much cooler weather in the summer.

lol..well i can prevent that..and gladly would if it meant seeing something i've never seen. Lowest temp i think i  can ever recall was about 2 or 3 degrees.

yep..one could go the rest of their life  and never see that type of cold again. Our temps, although cold, won't really be that special.

I'm not totally convinced it has to do with snowpack, at least over nc. Maybe the airmass moving over the snow pack north of there has something to do with it but the core of the cold goes straight for them. They stay under 850s of -20c for a long time..for more than 24 hours..which is nuts. (we only briefly touch -20c before rapidly warming)  So even without it, they would be looking at very impressive temps.
