Oh wow! That is textbook. I know this is a Niña year, but I remember some of our biggest snows being in Niña years. Weak ones, at least. .

Question…is the leeside event some models are showing different from the mesolow forming? I am just learning and curious. Thanks! .

Now THAT is the Oconee Snowhole if I have ever seen it. If it ever makes it’s way into a textbook someday, they need this as a graphic. .

@wncsnow @buckeyefan1 thank you both for your kind words! I just emailed Mississippi State about what I would be required to do as a new/old student. [emoji2957]We shall see! [emoji1694] .

I love chunky winter birds! They are so cute! .

Hi! Not sure where to put this, so feel free to remove if necessary. I am currently a second grade teacher and have been the past twelve years and I can say I am no longer happy. Weather has always been a passion of mine, and the older I get and the less time I have left, the more I want to go for it. However, math was always a weak spot for me. I noticed with some of the programs I am looking at, a lot of Calculus is necessary. I haven’t taken that type of math in 13 years. [emoji30] For meteorologists on the board, do your have any useful tips or suggestions on how to do well on the math that comes with a weather degree? Thank you in advance. .

Are you thinking this for the first wave, second wave, or both waves of precip? I remember events where precipitation was supposed to fill in from the east and it never did. .

Just came in from sledding because of the sleet and wind combination…ouch!!! Coming down hard now. .

Absolutely magical here in Travelers Rest this morning. We have at least 6” and still coming down. .

Got snow in Travelers Rest! .

Flizzard at Caesar’s Head! .

Travelers Rest 41/27. Just saw some snow on radar up at Caesar’s Head. Headed up to check it out and see if it’s verga or the real deal. .

That’s literally right up the 85 corridor, per usual. .

Lol! I am playing with my son and I call him “buddy,” so I guess I typed it when I said it. [emoji1787]my bad! .

I would love to be used at Caesar’s Head for this event. We are in TR about ten minutes south of 11 and I’m banking on at least 6”. [emoji1694]We have a huge hill in front of our house my 4 y/o has been itching to sled down. I always root for my friends south of 85, buddy once again, it is the battleground of the Upstate. .

That’s more along the lines of what I was thinking. I thought their first totals were a bit out to lunch. .

Thanks! I am hoping we can keep the warm nose at bay for as long as possible! .

Upstate SC Peeps- Can I have some honest feedback on this first call map? I have a lot of friends and family who ask me about weather and I don’t want to disappoint them by being to bullish. I thought Chris Justus was somewhat conservative and heavily reliant on climo today,and with some of his past calls, within good reason. However, I am really liking this front end thump models are depicting before the warm nose. I tried to make a map between model ensemble estimates and his forecast. Thanks in advance! .

Got it. Thanks! .

That’s what I thought! I know it is good at sniffing our warm noses, but I also remember it being very bullish this far out. I know here in the Northern Upstate, evaporational cooling has saves our butts several times. Do you think that will come into play here?

Doesn’t the NAM have issues with temps that far out towards the end of the run? .

Now that is a thing of beauty. So much pink and purple! You don’t see that much. .

Laughs in Weather Weenie! .

I have heard they are wonderful! We were on the BRP today and colors were popping big time around 5300-5300’. .

Rates were absolutely insane! It haven’t seen anything like it since January 2011. .
