For your first post this was a good, yet painfully accurate one. As a fellow 53 year old, I blame millennials (for everything). Somehow they screwed up weather patterns. Welcome to the forum.

The videos coming out of TX this morning are just sickening. On our best day this winter, or possibly the last 4 winters, we haven't seen snowfall rates like that. Why the hell can't we ever get a blizzard?? Why is my house sinking into the ground? Why do my dogs have mushrooms growing in their paw pads??? THIS SUCKS!!!!!

Nope, Monday night is stating the TOTAL expected of 6-10" which aligns with the forecast.

You need a solid evaluation and at least two full seasons of therapy.

Dude, you may single handedly pull a rabbit out of a hat while nobody is looking. Keep it up. Now, can you get Dogecoin to the moon?

Negative ghostrider. Since when do you ever see ice across that large of a region and on both sides of the apps?? Can we just shut down the models until the planes start flying again? Or maybe start using carrier pigeons with weather sensors, or drones, or kids birthday balloons that get launched from Chuck E Cheeses parking lots. Anything to get better data for pete's sake. This torture must end!!

Ice storm a few years back made 220 south (now 74 or 73 I think) headed towards Pinehurst look just like this. Several miles of pines laying on the road before they cleared it all out. I would be hard pressed to sit calmly in my vehicle.

I'm almost there. I dont mind the cool temps as much as I mind the wet. This is getting ridiculous, and if the summer ends up dry thats even more painful. I was hoping to plant my first full one acre crop this year using my new gravity fed drip irrigation system. (I'm NOT a farmer). This is a fun project for me that mother nature is not making any easier. Cant get the field ready, too wet, and cant get my rain totes in place to catch the rain we have now. And even worse, the dogs have muddy paws every freaking day!

Big difference between power and no power for many could be the fact that winds are nearly calm. The crust is already in place, on everything, here in Kernersville and a quick peek at the security cam in Stuart is a nightmare, but there is no wind. Any change there and yes, lights out everywhere. Lets hope for a calm rise in temps later today.

Just let the dogs out. Deck is crunchy, almost like some sleety material is falling but no idea what it is.

Already looking at quarter inch icicles on the Japanese Maple branches. This may not end well in the triad if the heaviest precip is due tomorrow morning.

No matter what happens tonight and tomorrow, I can get thru it knowing that my 7 day forecast shows sunny and 50's. Of course the way the models have been verifying, we'll have our Big Dog next Saturday. Already spitting pretty steady here in Kernersville. I really hope we dont jackpot on this one. 29°.

Made it back from Cincy today. Left about 5" of compact snow behind me with another 7-10" coming early next week for a freaking ice storm? This winter in the SE blows. I'm buying grass seed asap. Time for spring.

Thanks. This one has me quite nervous because you wont know you are in it until you are in it. Thinking I will slow down a little bit tomorrow and see if I can time my arrival into Princeton, Wytheville and Mt Airy to the late afternoon. I only need 33°. VADOT will do the rest. I cant believe the cold temps forecasted up here next week wont make it down. Highs of 15°, lows around zero. We just cant win.

Help a brotha out folks, I am seriously short on time to really figure this out. As you know I'm rolling back from Cincy tomorrow with your polar vortex in tow. Now I'm worried I'll be making my own ice storm down I77. Is this legit? Should I stay put until Saturday?

FYP. Yes, model watching has been exhausting this year and we still have little certainty around tomorrow much less a 4 month outlook.

I'm so sorry, but its like a damn snow globe up here. Just hammering white powder!!

Can I be in my home forum and be whining about too much snow with being banned? Ripping fatties again here in Cincy. Here comes another 1-3" literally out of nothing. I'm now sitting on 10" since I got here Friday. I just cant believe how difficult it is to get a snow event like this in the southeast.....in the dead of winter.....at night.....it sucks!

The heavier the precip I tend to favor a rain solution when the CAD is marginal. I get that the models often underestimate the CAD, but as shown, I'll favor the warmer forecast. Not to mention I'd rather not drive home from Cincy during an ice storm.

This could end up being a multi-day ice on ice event for some. Very little melting going on. Tenths upon tenths of zr. This long duration event would easily rival the tree damage I experienced back in 2002. Pray for sleet but go ahead and buy your gennie now if you ever wanted one. This is U..G..L..Y!

6" of high ratio bliss here in Cincy overnight. We were literally trained by a 75 mile wide streak of snow for 7-8 hours. Simply amazing. Wish I could bring it back!

Not disagreeing, I'm simply pointing out (while I sit here in Cincy watching it puke snow outside) that starting tomorrow the high temps here wont go ABOVE 25° until the middle to end of next week. This isnt run of the mill transient cold. This has staying power. And we would need a monster SER to block and/or moderate this airmass. I like our chances over the next 10 days.

I will say this, I understand how our GSP friends now feel after cashing in the other night. It is ripping fatties here in Cincy, 2-4" tonight. And man is it glorious. But it still isnt the same as having it thump in your own backyard.

Agreed 100%. The Cincinnati forecast has been also trending colder all week this week and the local tv met last night was even talking about the cold press into the south. I suppose it's possible the trajectory takes it into TX/LA instead of the SE, but the cold pool is definitely there. Highs in the teens here by late week, single digit lows. I'll get my fill of snow up here this week as we have it every day in the forecast at present.

That would be me and my F250 hauling the cold back from Cincy on Friday. Highs in the teens, lows below zero here on Friday. I'll do my part for the forum but somebody else needs to figure out the QPF. Still a chance for a Valentine's Day surprise!
