  1. Buh Bye!!  This one will take a few pills and drinks to get over.  A lot of mets jumped early and will be left trying to explain a dusting lighter than the film on a glass top table after an all night bender at the local crack house off of Mountain Street in K-Vegas.  But that's all heresay anyway, kind of like talk of snowstorms in eastern Carolina.  :P

    As I said earlier, this is probably the yearly non-event that keeps us all grounded in the fact that we live in the southeast and it's winter.  They don't go together like Forrest Gump and Jennie.

    I'm stunned - I have no idea what's going to  happen. NAM-GFS are out, ICON/RGEM holding steady. I'll just wait and see at this point. 

    It's almost like we need a quantum computer or something to sort this out for us.  Anybody ever thought about that?  Brick?  Burger? Anyone?  :whistle:

    :lol:  

    I think this might be the week we all realize we still live in the southeast.  Happens every year.

    GFS with 4 distinct shortwaves to keep track up at hour 84, lol good luck. Forecasting this is like defending one of those Chiefs plays where they have Tyreek Hill in motion and Kelce in the slot with two of their speed guys in the WR role

    Oh, so you are saying its easy to do like the Bengals did.  Just sack Mahomes and throw darts to J'amarr Chase.  Problem solved! :D

  4. This backside pivot looks amazing.  Not sure who, but somebody is going to get another inch or two if they are in the right spot as all that precip back into AL rotates through.  There's a nice blob coming right up I85 towards the Triad and then quite a bit more after that tonight.  I won't call this an overperformer here, but it was certainly a nice event.....just different than expected.

    It's crazy how big some of the pellets are too. Nearly pea sized

    I have snow loving dogs and they wanted no part of that micro-meteorfest that is going on out there.  Thankful for the early snow or else I'd be worried about sandblasting my cars!

    I totally understand that, I think my statement may have been misunderstood a bit. I was simply mocking the absurdity of it - not suggesting it can’t happen. There’s just not a lot of precedent for this storm track. 

    10-4.  Totally agree.

    These aren't freight trains, these systems can literally stop and turn on a dime once they become influenced by a different feature.  If you have a rapidly weakening blocking high to the north and other features in place that would draw the system due north, it wouldn't take long at all for this system to stall and begin moving quickly north. (I'm fairly certain I'm preaching to the choir here, but the statement was made) It can absolutely be in Gatlinburg in 12 hours.

    I’m old enough to remember when Kvegas was an optimist 

    LoL.  I was 22 the last time the Bengals had a playoff win.  31 years ago.  Oddly enough that might have been the year we had the snowmaggedon snowball fight in the quad at NC State.  Probably the last kick butt snowfall Raleigh has seen. :lol:

    I'll go fire up the grill and crack open the beer fridge and things will get better.  Time for some brisket and ribs!

  9. The finger of snow modeled for today must have been the models actually giving us the finger cut that didn't materialize.  The warm nose that was nowhere in sight a week ago when we were planning this blizzard is going to turn this into nothing but a workout having to clear debris from an ice storm.  I cannot tell you how irritated I woke up this morning.  And I swear if the Raiders spoil my playoff party this afternoon that will certainly push me over my cliff.  

    Bengals win or I'm dumping all my ice storm debris in the middle of I-40.  Darn I'm cranky about this one!!:fulltilt:

    The closer we get the more it’s looking close to a December 2002 redux, in regards to precipitation type and amounts

    Curse you for bringing that up. Do you have any idea how many trees I had to cut up in my neighborhood??  Not to mention no power for 3 days with a 5 year old and newborn.  Not fun!

     

    Edit....but I kinda agree.  :wacko:
