Burger & Upstate T Ur both right with the storms u mentioned. 2014 was the year u were thinking of Burger. There is plenty of instances in my 51 years where their is arctic air in place. The storms tend to be 4 inches or less. Big dogs with arctic air in place tends to be once every 10 to 20 years. Last one I remember was Jan/88 So u could say we are past due. Ty all for the things u do.

U know business is picking up when u see Brick posting... Things just got real ppl... Good to see u man...

I get the negative feelings but I Agree whole heartily with Buckeyefan1. The next few weeks r the best pattern we have had since Dec 18. In which I got 6 inches. It doesn't mean it's going to snow but, No matter the pattern it all comes down to timing. I'll take the pattern that's being shown and hope we get lucky on timing. I think a lot on this board will be happy by the middle part of Feb.

It's the unusual warmth that's causing the severe weather & we need the rain. If u want a gradual step down process to cold, To prevent the severe storms... I'm ok with that but, We need cold so we can prevent these types of events in winter. Prayers to all victims.

Grit I've got a question. I was born in 70. Maybe it's just child romanticism but was there not times in the 70's & early 80's when it was cold coast to coast? ( Except maybe SoCal or S Fla) Say 77, 79, & Christmas 82? If so what were those indicies that allowed it to be cold continental 48? And can we not have those setups now?

That was the storm of my life and I'm now 50.

I'm in Greer it snowed here for about 20 to 30 mins then changed to sleet for another 20 mins or so. It was supposed to get to 45 here today our high was 41. It has cleared here since. Gsp was 32/28 @ 10pm definitely colder than what was forecast.

I'm in Greer it snowed here for about 20 to 30 mins then changed to sleet for another 20 mins or so. Now nothing. It was supposed to get to 45 here today or high was 41. The temp at 4 was 39/23....

Remember that storm well. Ppl at the same Elevation & Longitude as me further west got much more than my inch here in NE GVL county. Why? Because of timing. It hit u guys early morning hours in the case of NGA it was prior to sunrise. In some cases in NGA they had 6-8+ inches. It started here around 11am and didn't change over to snow til 12 noon. Timing looks to be good here in the Western Carolinas & NGA thus far.

Is that a UFO?

Btw that storm i had 6 inches It was great....

This won't be one of those storms because I'm well north of 85 and although its been snowing since around 1pm. It will cover things with a dusting once intensity goes down then the lil that accumulates melts. I had more accumulation with the late Jan and early Feb events.

What did she forecast yesterday? I was giving all my attention as a snow wienie watching Chief wienierologist CJ

I live around 1100 feet in Elevation on the side of Paris mtn. The sleet begin to mix here around 11am Then changed to snow around 1pm. Been snow since but its so warm it melts on contact of everything. Occasionally when heavier rates come down it will build up a lil but once it slows down it melts off.
