Central TX has been a glacier the past 5 years and they have worse climo than us. Arkansas and Mississippi are getting snow from this one. We just suck.

Yeah I never thought it would be this bad. We could easily have to wait for year 4

Could this just be the new normal? I feel like the climates have shifted NC to a climate similar to SC winters of old. Virginia is more like NC used to be. Snow line and cold winters have shifted north.

Can we please bifurcate the climate change discussion from forecasting? There’s a whole forum for the former. Thanks.

.3 is way better than I've had in years, so I'm good with that, lol. Even .3 of zr would be more than a nuisance, but it would be something frozen.  And mix in some sleet, and I could still go sliding.  That's about what I got in 05 and I had a heck of a good time on it and that's the last time I could sled on concrete. Nearly 20 years, Larry, 20 years.  That just ain't right!

Hey, Tony.

Saw you lurking.

(off topic for forum, but couldn't send PM)

My daughter lives in St. Louis.  I've been giving her updates on tomorrow's system for a week and she is now preparing for a Mega-Sleetfest.

Man, that's a lot of little frozen balls that are gonna fall in her neighborhood. (cue the jokes)  Almost 3" if you believe the HRRR

Back on topic:  Ugh.  At the operationals.  Anyone have a DGEX to spark joy?

Isn't mentioning climate change a part of forecasting? Isn't previous analogues to be discussed for set ups and potential impacts? Isn't climate change a potential to change that discussion. We cannot just say that this happened this way in the past so expect this now if the climate is altered to a different state? So, it is worth bringing up as a wrench in forecasts based on previous expectations when models show something we used to see as a positive sign.

No.  It belongs in another discussion.  That's why it has it's own space.

Hey, Shack!  Hope she sleds because she's going to have perfection for it.  I've seen that, or close, 4 times and they are my favorite storms by far.  I think this is a long from settled and there will be  lots of surprises, good and bad.  Right now it's 47 even with a hot sun in the heat of the day in north central Ga., and more cold air coming, so I think it's about the moisture and if a storm, the waa...not the available cold. All we need is 32 low enough in the column.  I'm figuring to be in the several county mostly sleet/snow band......or very sad rain, if it's a fizzle.  I was 25 last night so fine for frozen with a cold ground. :)

Sleet is typically around a 4:1 ratio. Most I have seen in one event is around 3 inches back on Long Island in the 90's
