Bounce back and forth between Pivotal and Tropical Tidbits to see who gets the update first!

My thinking is somewhere there will stripe with a 3 to 5" - mountains will squeeze a bit more - In general though we will want that stripe north of where it has been heading! We also want the system a bit stronger. I do not think we are thinking much more than this. Outside the 3 to 5" stripe will be a 1 to 3" area.. and then the fringes of course (which we all hope is not in our back yards) I think anything more is wishful thinking.. even this may be wishful thinking! Less is of course possible with the squash factors in place and the strung out look! So we fine tune and hope for a north/stronger trend.. but no one should get too excited or upset. Things are better than they have been!

Definite step away from storm.. We want some consistency in placement! I am out - until 0z! No more trends south.. This would be a great run if we were under 72 hours..

SW VA getting the goods at 132. Light snow in area.

Looks juicy to me at 120

You have targeted that timeframe from way back - you and Bob both said that we would probably not have a meaningful flip until the 15th or beyond. So true is this that I scheduled something and noted to the people I was scheduling that we may have weather concerns due to the changes I was thinking may occur around mid-month. So it has been a thought for a while. I honestly thought, with this being an El Nino winter, we would be backloaded. Anything before was gravy, as it always is! We were baited into early belief with the November appetizer and the Carolina/Southern VA Crusher. It makes sense climo-wise as well - which you point out here.

Been cleaning so. Missed the excitement but knew gfs was getting ready to spit out a fantasy snow. Fun to see. Wil it hold.. Probably not.. Lol

Back to the old 100% Chance of weather

My thoughts exactly!

Happy new year!

Cmc looks a little crazy

Anything under 6 inches is a nuisance snow.

Had a trace of snow grains on my deck this morning. December wasn't a shutout! Lol!

That was what the Carolina crusher did

Squirrels, foxes, and deer were out in the masses getting food.. They must know something is up!

6z does some great screw us things. Trends look bad

Gfs changed pretty significantly!

No step backs on free speech!

@Ji Scale: SN+ for at least 5 hours SN for a total of 10 hours Measurable snow starts at 6" otherwise it is a nuisance event A snow storm is anything above 12" unless we have wicked winds and SN+ for most of the snow between 6 and 12" A flip to anything but snow could be considered a fail.

In Leesburg.. Was intense winds.. Wow. Winding down now..

CPC Seeing the colder than normal

For the visuals only!

It probably depends on who it is!

Different storm bro They both suck!

This looks a little different from yesterday's Happy Hour! I do see the CAD set up - something frozen is better than none for some!
