Screw it I'm moving to a more wintry location like Shreveport Louisiana.

And it's only 10 days away. Yeah right...

Just my own personal observation here but so amazing that we have all these fancy weather models and hi-tech tools in 2019, and man is no closer to being able to determine precisely what , when, or exactly where the weather will be. Only the Creator knows what the future holds. At 5 p.m. it was still 31 degrees and not even a complete dusting and 2 days ago we were under a Winter Storm Watch. Failure to launch in NE TN valley.

The discussion thread just threw out a term I don't think I've ever heard/read before. What the heck does 'anafontal' mean?

Non using letters??? LOL! I think they meant anafrontal. 

Just another untypical winter day. 61 degrees and 27 mph winds.

I have been watching the d10-15, because I would really like to see some extended winter.  That said, what the models are spitting out inside of d10 is crazy.  The first is the 12z GFS actual surface temp map(not departures).  The second is the 0z Euro departure maps.   There are -61 departures over the Plains on the Euro op.  We saw this(temp extremes on models) a few days ago.  It would take only one coastal of any variety to send that stuff south.  One would think a storm might right that boundary at some point.  

I try to remain optimistic but as Mack says, "these are always 7-10 days away."

MRX says light accumulation here Wednesday into Thursday. That's usually their wording for 1-3 inches. Up to a 50 percent chance of snow Saturday night. The short waves rotating from the NW over the next few days change their timing with almost every run.

MRX not impressed in am disco. Higher elevations may get an inch of snow after we all get our 2 inches of rain.

CMC is onboard! Game on

I don't ever remember seeing Mack positively excited. Although I'll admit to being around only about 2 yrs.

E15 cracks me up. We throw around the words historic a lot. That would definitely go down in the record books.

That is awesome. Need something to actually develop and start laying it down.

Probably should change your username. Lol

Do you like my -11 for E TN?

I can vouch.  Very heavy radar echos with just enough evap cooling in Johnson City and surrounding areas to turn us to snow and produce the largest snowflakes I have seen since 1998.  Some were the size of the bottom of a water bottle.  Picked up a quick 1/2-1 inch that was not on the radar of meteorologists.  Melted quickly after the precip stopped, but heavy daytime snow is always fun regardless of whether it sticks around or not.

I certainly agree with your description of the snowflakes. Those were huge. The ones in 1998 were longer, we all thought those looked like chicken feathers.

Temp dropped 6 degrees in last hour in Colonial Heights.

As soon as the rates slowed down temperature went back up 2° it's now a light drizzle.

Can't wait for this awesome pattern where we get to rain, freeze to death, warm up and rain, freeze to death again and repeat over and over again. What a shit fest!

Looks like it's time for fresh kitty litter.

trying to find stuff about the weather but there is nothing at the other place about weather, just banter and BS,

And people crying about the sky falling and always getting rain and 33. Hello - You live in the South.

Interesting how far the weather forecast was off today. It's 36 degrees at 1:23 p.m. with light snow flakes in Gray, Tennessee

What is the wx for the Kansas City game?  Have heard very cold and windy.  Should be interesting seeing two teams that play outside in the cold go at it...no dome teams struggling to acclimate in this one.  Grown man football in the cold.  

High is supposed to be 8 degrees.

30's and cold rain is as miserable as it gets. This was a morale crusher in Raleigh. 

Better than 90 and no rain.

That kind of cold not good for things with no snow cover though imo

What do you mean not good for things? Like nature???

Definitely possible in today's climate, but obviously, this would be quite an extreme outbreak, and therefore, quite unlikely. 

But boy...the lows on the mornings of the 27th and 28th are stupid cold. 

Definitely possibly. In NE TN, it is not unusual to go below zero.

Huge storm. Can't decide if it is shaped more like a tornado or an ostrich.
