We are officially in a WQBO descending phase so we should be right near that transition come next winter so may be a little interesting to start off. Not sure about the transition to full on Nino but plenty of time to discuss.

Regarding the fish storm…it takes a different climate pattern to get a snowstorm in Va beach. If they’re getting snow, we’re in trouble in Frederick. Let that one go. Next week is more trackable, though that ridge out west looks like a monster brewing. Interested to see how much that impacts those BN projections.

North Charlotte 34.5 / 38% and 66.7 inside lol! I cant wait to see some snow on top of Sleet/Ice we have outside.

That's when you jump in the pool.

My mom is down in Marion, SC. They are excited. 4 to 8+ The whole town maybe has 1 plow they probably have to borrow for another jurisdiction. They'll be closed for a few days. I almost chased down there but then I remembered, I'd have to be in that town.

Would be good for the sheer novelty and to isolate from the main event in the Carolinas.

Better position but worse track. I don't think we're getting anything here, but you know, It's fun to watch I guess?

Hmmm... I was told you stopped posting.

This is our blacktop area here at school, where the kids have recess…it’s looked like this all week, and in direct sunlight most of the day. Not melting..except where the plows tires(with salt) wore out the snow. So that was my point when I said there has been very little melting. Now of course some sublimation might have happened, but it’s negligible.

Fair point it really has been awhile for that type of pattern. There is a large amount of cold air this year which I have been told ad infinitum that this will not be a thing going forward. The longevity is something else this year.

MRX has apparently pushed all in on the NAM judging by their snow maps. (I'm sure it's the NBM, but it weighs the NAM family heavily the closer we get)

Wow, that’s surprising how low the depth is. Sorry to hear that. I guess even MSP isn’t immune to maintaining a healthy snow cover, even during the heart of winter. The depth has actually decreased by 4” since 1/1, even with a cold January and 4.1” of snowfall during the month (that’s a very low snowfall amount, but you’d think it would have helped at least maintain the 6” depth from 1/1). There were a few mild days earlier in the month, plus the MSP urban environment probably doesn’t help. Ugh…we need to get past this dry/chinook pattern. Obviously it has been cold recently, but the angle of the cold is all wrong. I used to laugh when Joe Bastardi would say that, but it’s true. This is why you need to build up a snow cover early in the season, to withstand the inevitable dry periods.

The north sucks for snow. I’m moving south.

Do we need to start a separate thread?

Queen City Classic volleyball tournament (Sat, Sun, Mon) in Charlotte hasn't canceled...I feel like thats a bad call. People drive from all over the country to this tournament, and teams are flying in from Puerto Rico and California ffs.

As per Mike Caplan The weather service upgrades central and southern Cook county to a winter storm warning. This will include the city of Chicago.

lol.......hope I am wrong. I certainly do not have the technical skill set to weigh in on this particular set up. But in all of my years here I have never cashed in on a ULL system in downtown Greenville, but i certainly have seen Spartanburg do very well.

ICON trying at 120-144,1008 low off the coast of ILM.

Currently the model battle looks like the NAMs vs everyone else. The NAMs have dried up considerably. Everyone else maintains so far.

Agreed.

-6 here this morning. 9th subzero day of the month.

For everyone’s awareness the Clarksville Mesonet location is in a bit of a cold sink. Not at the bottom of it, but down far enough to have it be anomalous compared to the surrounding area. The Hancock station (-9) is in a park that a stream runs through. So likely colder but not anomalous of other low areas in the broader ridge/valley region.

I’m not sure what people are upset about, we just had a major winter storm.
