Checking in at halftime of my older son’s game; what is the storm actually doing at this moment versus what the models have shown? Thanks. I’ll hang up and listen. .

Correct. The Blizzard Watch product no longer exists. The last Blizzard Watch issued by LWX was 1/21/16.

snow starting to reach the ground in evansville area

what happens to a tree deferred...

Been juggling that last sentence in my head. Most people are too illiterate to see anything other than “snow” in the forecast, so even 3” of freezing rain and the electric grid laying on the ground would be a bust to them because their iPhone guaranteed it.

Yes NAM is bad it sounds like.

We need to see more tv station met snow maps, Keep them coming.

Yes, we should definitley note this and not be afriad to pump the brakes. At the same time however, the NAM completely shit the bed on precipitation type, not totals. It showed nothing for little rock, AFB reported just under 6" with NW parts of the city reproting 6"+.

Chattanooga is all freezing rain. Light at the moment - mercifully. No more sleet. Radar above confirms it's all rain aloft. QPF is going to be all ice until sometime this evening. Temps are way under forecast and cooler models keep it below freezing until later in the evening.

This could cause some potential cliff-jumping to happen in the MA forum...already is, from the look of it. I get it, I just moved from there after going through God-knows-how-many rug pulls over the past three decades. Of course, the dire model-based predictions of a couple feet of snow earlier in the week have been reduced to MAYBE (and it's a reach) 9-12" with a lot of mixing coming tomorrow afternoon. But that's just MA climo. For my part, I'm done with rug pulls...Horry County historically seems to have just the right amount of winter wx I want to deal with the rest of my life, which is little to none at all. The panic-inducing headlines from print/broadcast media have been over the top since Monday of this past week. Complicating that, is the overabundance of model-hugging, dime-a-dozen hobbyist weather nerds out on Facebook, X and other platforms, who predict "winter Armageddon" based on clown maps or every other model run. All of that is the primary reason I've tuned/blocked all of that noise out, and just come here to AmWx to lurk and learn.

I think it’s awesome how it’s almost 50 degrees here NE of ATL with no precipitation anywhere in sight or on the horizon. Unreal.

Didn't we have something similar in 2016? NWS called for a foot of snow and we got like 4" of sleet out near Coatesville. My front yard was a glacier for like a month.

Weather Channel app has upoedsnow in my area (Clinton MA) significantly for tomorrow 8 to 12 from 5 to 8 with 8 to 12 tomorrow night and 1 to 3 Monday. They're usually pretty on target for my area. Any reason why?

13F/-6F .

The worst part is...sleet is difficult to shovel and I have chronic fatigue syndrome. So not only will the snow likely not be warning level, but now it's gonna require twice the amount of energy to shovel and twice as long. Shoveling isn't easy for me, but it's worth it when it's a great event. Shoveling an underachiever with the added toilet of sleet is even worse. I'll probably turn on Beethoven and pound the crap out of it, lol

Please read more carefully - especially before criticizing someone.

I’m not looking at next Sunday’s snow map from today’s 12z GFS. Not doing it

I’m not ready to jump ship. Still going to be a big snowfall. I can vouch that sleet blows good out of a snowblower

$900 is crazy… but I guess that tracks. I pay like $100 a month during the winter for a shoebox apartment that I leave at 66 degrees.

Yes, better to be prepared. That being said however, some people being upset about this could be very warranted. I could see that being the case with people on tight budgets who may have spent a lot of their money on preparation for a storm that doesn’t happen. I’d be frustrated in that situation.

This is the difference between a meteorologist and modelologist. He knows the science and how to use the tools, but doesn't just recite the tools.

So it's gonna rain or something tomorrow?
