Yea, 2/1 snow ratios for someone in the mountains too...

Here in the foothills the extracted 12Z GFS data has great 925/850 before, during (however) rises above and torches around 5 degree and back to below 0 as the moisture leaves....

Total of 1:04" 

So close

It does have our storm the GFS is showing and is another closer call but rain for most

Yep, the real cold is still locked up in Canada during this time.  If the GFS is to be trusted, it shows a pretty good push of cold air south from Canada but not until the after this storm has passed.  Still, something to keep an eye on as well as the following week (1st week of Feb.) with cold on the move.

Go figure, :facepalm:

Can someone explain what the CFS model is? It’s showing big snow in roughly 280 to 300. Yes I am a desperate weenie but trying to learn what this model even does

An animated image of CFSR global atmospheric precipitable water for March 1–15, 1993, in 12-hourly intervals. (One-hourly CFSR data was down-sampled to every 12 hours to keep image size down.) This image was produced with the Grid Analysis and Display System and ImageMagick.
The Climate Forecast System (CFS) is a model representing the global interaction between Earth's oceans, land, and atmosphere. Produced by several dozen scientists under guidance from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), this model offers hourly data with a horizontal resolution down to one-half of a degree (approximately 56 km) around Earth for many variables. CFS uses the latest scientific approaches for taking in, or assimilating, observations from data sources including surface observations, upper air balloon observations, aircraft observations, and satellite observations.”

Well tried as hard as I could to see flakes this morning but alas only managed virga. Its beyond sad and embarrassing that winter sucks so much that it I have to  resort to that.

I guess the next sad excuse/fail for  winter weather.... is there  could be a little sleet at the start of precip thur evening due to dry low to mid levels before our exciting  mid to upper 30s rain slams us. :weep:

Looks like some sleet and even snow fell for a brief period at the start in parts of west ga with the heaviest stuff...from  around Carrollton to the north. As expected though it's been brief with a quick changeover to rain. The way this year is going they should consider themselves lucky.

Yes, any non liquid outside of favored areas should be lucky to see anything.

Ensembles 19 threw down one hell of a haymaker... Large portion from Texas to Both Carolinas getting 5"+ from the 6th-8th (haven't seem that in weeks)

Shorter term (the 1st), only 3/20 ensembles have snow for NC/SC outside the mountains
