USCG RS Posted Monday at 06:34 PM Share Posted Monday at 06:34 PM 55 minutes ago, wxslug said: I’ve been on this forum for a long time (the 25th will make 14 years) and rarely post, but it seems this place has almost become a dumpster fire of whining, complaining, and just plain childishness. In a storm thread in years past I was able to learn, whether it actually snowed or not, and got to read a lot of good analysis. All the ridiculous, off-topic comments used to be relegated to a dedicated banter thread and there was actual moderation. It’s like the mods and admin just gave up. Ok, got that off my chest, and that’ll do it for my approximately two posts per year. Maybe next year professionalism will become the norm again. 39 minutes ago, NYweatherguy said: Totally agree with you on this. I also have been around for years and remain mostly a lurker (I don't have the ability to participate intelligently) but this board has definitely gone down hill with all the mocking and childish arguments. It's a shame. I think it has just been a hard few years for a lot of folks, and the weather has also been rather, well, adding to frustration in various aspects. There are some very good posters on here, and on the other forums, and the large storms do bring them out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems similar to the late Jan of 2014 sudden late NW trend that lead to ATL and other areas into well inland SC/NC getting huge impact. I‘m not saying big impact to ATL and those other well inland areas yet. But keep watching! The n/w shift has been real in many cases. I've gone from 15 plus to half an inch, and points in between, and I'm far from making a call, lol. But what falls will stick...none wasted, so there's that. I'm sure pulling for you to get sn/ip. Sleet, sleet, sleet...wishes do come true...listen to Jimny, Larry. Well, before the stars get covered...so be quick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowGoose69 Posted Monday at 06:40 PM Share Posted Monday at 06:40 PM The GRAF has come back south somewhat now, showing less wacky totals for ATL than it had been. I think dsaur/deltapilot/suzook are sitting in a way better spot than ATL downtown or even the airport. could see a case where they see 1-1.5 inches if this bumps somewhat north and downtown ATL sees flurries or nothing. In SC I think I'd pick 30-40 miles NW of CHS for prime spot. CHS obviously risk of sleet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im just NE of downtown Senoia off Rockaway What type of aircraft do you pilot? 2 hours ago, gamecockinupstateSC said: The orientation of the tilt change is evident on the GFS. That is a significant difference from a small change in the orientation. Hi Res Models should begin to pick up on this in the next 12 or so hours if true. I do wonder if the orientation, extent of the Artic HP/front is being ingested. 1 hour ago, GaWx said: 12Z Euro: fairly similar to 6Z; so the only major 12Z model without a notable NW/wetter trend though it did trend slightly NW vs 6Z in NC The Euro can be rather slow in changing at times. It can be very consistent, but like the GFS, also consistently wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its undoubtedly a very overpowered aircraft but I've not heard many pilots say they don't like it over the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, I'm right off 16 across from draft room. Well, I think you said we get some "mood flakes". I win if its over 1/2" and you win if its less???? Sounds good on the Beer.

suzook Posted Monday at 07:30 PM Share Posted Monday at 07:30 PM Seems a little conservative, thinking a little more on totals on the south side of the map. Maybe they are thinking some mixing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are thinking some mixing. Agreed. I'm also confused with the WWA for the northern counties yet the verbiage in the WWA says 1-2 inches, I believe in the south region of the NWS 2 inches is supposed to be a Winter Storm Warning.

neatlburbwthrguy Posted Monday at 07:36 PM Share Posted Monday at 07:36 PM The new HRRR looks good for Macon south in Georgia. Unless it's somehow off by 80-100 miles, ATL may strikeout with this one sadly. Sucks to have temps in line for a nice storm, and be so close, yet sooo far away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeznado Posted Monday at 07:51 PM Share Posted Monday at 07:51 PM Boy, dew points are super low way to the south in the low single digits, I think that might cut down on accumulations, not sure how well the models handle that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
