The struggle is real. At least some mood flakes would be nice. I used to be a big golfer before kids, so I can understand this, BUT, its been plenty warm enough for golf. In fact cool weather is way better for golf in my book. The problem the past couple winters has been rain, not cold. And there'll be plenty of heat later on. I say bring on as much cold as we can get and hopefully some frozen please. In years past I would say we have until the first week of March but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Still hoping to see a better pattern emerge for Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our club has good drainage and still been sloppy, cart path only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burrel2 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Places like Savannah and Charleston were pretty close to a major snow event Tuesday night. Plenty of cold air; storm gets cranking about 300 miles too far east though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warm nose is only 2/3C and caps out around 850mb. Something to watch. Has me interested! Hfs is awfully close to a mix bag here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Good look for cold air and eastern trough... at the end of the GFS Op run. Maybe something will give going into February. Chasing 10+ day cold patterns has grown old... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 THE OP EURO HAS BEEN HINTING AT A GULF LOW AROUND THE 27TH/28TH BUT IT HAS IT TOO FAR SOUTH FOR NOW. TEMPS WOULD BE MARGINAL BUT IF IT COULD TRACK FARTHER NORTH IT MIGHT BE INTERESTING, 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if we could shift that big low in the Northeast NE another couple hundred miles it could help funnel colder air in and push that HP down out of SE Canada into NY state..I know, It’s a reach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(In fact up to an inch or more in the mountains over toward rome). Nav also has been consistent with a little. Despite the dry profiles and runs of everything else, still wouldn't surprise me to see some meso effects create a small area of flurries/showers into tomorrow morning. Not a huge chance but better than zero which is a lot considering how horrible this winter has been. 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barely managed the slightest flurry in Clayton this morning. The highest elevations here in Rabun County up around Sky Valley have seen a dusting, but the rest of the county has been completely shutout so far. In my lifetime we've never not had any measurable snow in a winter. I can't imagine it actually finishing that way but I'm certainly not optimistic right now.

mackerel_sky Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 That day 16/17 event on the GFS , looks great! I know it’s a dangerous game to extrapolate the long range GFS op, but wave forming after a big Arctic front passed, $$$ 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLweather Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 That SW swinging down really starting to get going over the Gulf Stream. Radar returns growing off the coast. Winds have picked up this afternoon... Ashame it wasn't about 150 to 200 miles west. Could have a decent event for eastern SC, NC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLweather Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Getting reports on some Facebook pages of iguanas dropping from trees and even dangling. The cold has stunned and immobilized them.

Well to be fair it’s threading the needle but the high to the west northwest of GA isn't in a terrible spot for western areas of the southeast.

jjwxman Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 If PTI (Greensboro,NC) ends the month with no measurable snow, which is looking likely, it will be the first time we’ve gone back to back January’s without any snow since 92 & 93. Interestingly enough we all know what happened shortly after in March of 93... Hope is alive and well!! Lol. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
