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. 

When it comes to winter weather in the South you just have to adopt a “we’ll see what happens” approach every single time. It helps clamp down on the disappointment.

Holy crap. ATL metro has a rough forecast with that run. I have to think some of that is ice/sleet down there. 

The biggest concern I have is power loss. Since it’s a Sunday before a big holiday in Atlanta proper (and with Omicron still raging), most people will be at home thankfully so there shouldn’t be a repeat of 2014. What is concerning is that over the last 10 years nearly 100k have moved to the city center and almost all of them in apartment blocks and high rises they were built quick (think thin walls with little to no insulation) and are electric only. If the power goes out for a significant amount of time we’re going have a similar experience as Texas had last year with their grid problems. Not for as long obviously since temps will rebound in a few days, but it’ll be a poop show for all those people in “luxury” cardboard boxes in the sky.

GFS Para......March will save us  What could possibly go wrong? 

 

The best snow storm ATL ever had was in March. We’re due something after watching the entire country get in on the fun. Well, except Texas. I want no part of what’s going on there.

Meh I’ll take what I can get if it’s only an inch so be it.  From an Atlanta perspective. 

I'll take it. Snow weenies in Atlanta can't be picky, and I always need a good excuse to work from home.

I don't understand all the wailing and gnashing of teeth on here right now.  We are at our below average the next 10 days after this weekend.  There is also a potential threat showing up for next weekend and the indices look even better after that.  It turned cold the second week of November and except for a few brief warmups it has been cold since then.  We have had a 3" snow before Christmas and a 5" snow in January plus a number of morning with single digit lows IMBY.  I have been closely following winters for 41 of my 53 years here in the SE and this one has been a good one by SE standards.  Even "great" winters here in the SE are usually front, middle or back loaded.  We still have possibilities heading into Feb.  It is quite unusual for us in the SE to go multiple months with threats of winter weather.  Enjoy it folks, it's a rare thing.  

Same here. IMBY I've had around 14 inches of snow this winter. That's like 5 years worth in Atlanta in the span of 2 months. Can't be mad at that.
