Not surprised at the melting today, I've seen snow routinely melt in the sun once the temp gets to about 15. From there up, she'll melt some. Especially if it's not icy. I always chuckle when it's sunny and 30 and people say that the snow isn't going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be one and done but they're playing very well going into the playoffs. The thing I admire (and honestly am jealous of) is they can run the hell out of the ball. I feel like they're sort of built for the postseason and Tampa better be ready because Philly could take them out. Brady beats them by 14 easy.

(My wife was in Boone, NC during the storm and met Jim Cantore) I actually thought you meant 1918 as that is the year of the extreme winter where the Mid South had lows in the -20's. I did not look up any specific snows that winter though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbler86 Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 Wow, the 12Z Euro Op is a total snooze through 200. Upper Mid West "clipper" starts to dig a bit late this weekend but very progressive dig as it heads for Florida. But high and dry for 8 days.

But model breakdown wise, the Euro is a punt of the middle of winter for snow lovers. Not only is it boring, there is no sign of anything at day 10. The low shown in the south has no realistic path to move up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anotherman Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 In my experience, we often get long range outlooks in winter that look super dry and boring, and usually the ground truth is quite a bit different. What I am trying to say is I will take the cold and let the pattern develop. If we have a cold pattern, the snow will come. Maybe not a big storm, but we will get events. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 MU update: As the Arctic high pressure system moves off to our east and a Clipper-like system tracks across southeastern Canada, more seasonably chilly air will return for Wednesday and Thursday. However, I see signs that the pattern may become increasingly more favorable for potential snow and wintry weather in the East between ~ January 15-25. A bulge northward in the Jet Stream across western North America may occur in conjunction with the return of Greenland blocking. By January 19 or 20, that blocking may very well become centered just to the south and west of Greenland -- a classic "west-based," negative North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). As I've explained in previous discussions, this Jet Stream configuration is a "snow-lovers dream" and often present leading up to and during major winter storms in the mid-Atlantic. However, here's a word of caution. Even if this pattern does come to fruition, it doesn't guarantee that we'll receive a moderate or major snowstorm. I've seen several instances where snow has failed to occur in this favorable setup. The probability increases, but we're still just talking about a word that nobody has ever shoveled -- "potential." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted that just to remind all of us that while the pattern is really good, it's not a guarantee for anything. I think it was after the twin blizzards in Feb 2010 that the pattern thereafter was epic, and there was talk of more blizzards to follow. And while northeast of here got a good storm near the end of the month, that epic pattern produced very little here after Feb. 10th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
