  1. It’s gotten so bad that I’m hoping for a couple hours of freezing drizzle in the morning. And even that is a long shot now. Ops dumping cold into Midwest should scare everyone
  2. 18z GFS was a disaster but ensembles have the pattern we want. I’m not getting excited until we’re in the 7 day range
  3. Not as cold as forecast for my location. Bottomed out at 24.7
  4. 12z GFS is a dream run for mountain folks around the 30th
  5. We picked up 0.19” of rain last night after reaching a high of 71
  6. We don’t need wall to wall cold but getting 3 cold days then needing 3 weeks to refresh is the pattern we’ve been in for 3+ years.
  7. EPS and GEFS are downright disgusting heading into January. Really no sign of a pattern change on modeling except for a zonal flow and PAC puke to intensify through the end of the year. From today through Jan 1 I bet we see as many 65+ degree days as days with lows below freezing
  8. Tarheel is back… seasons over. Might as well hang em up till next thanksgiving
  9. When RDU breaks the snowless record the main forum is going to explode
  10. It’s absolutely pathetic. 18z GFS barely gets it below freezing for a night into SC. Just a day ago there were low 20’s pre Christmas into the Florida panhandle on some models
  11. Probably going to be close. I’d think slightly below is likely still
  12. Jan 16, 2022 was our last 0.25” of ice. So not that long ago but it’s been exceedingly rare. We used to specialize in ice, maybe not full blown ice storms, but most systems following a cold snap would at least start as an hour or two of ice
  13. I remember a bad winter was one where we had 2-3 winter weather advisories for freezing rain with maybe a light snow or snow to rain scenario. I mean not even counting the snow drought, we can’t even get a glaze of ice. That used to happen multiple times a year with CAD
  14. When the air in our source region is running +20 we are effectively screwed
  15. Agreed, the first half of December was better than expected. Guess that got my hopes up when models appeared to be building on something
  16. I’m 100% confident the torch will verify after our 2-3 day cold snap. We’re in a climate now where warmth wins out 8-9 times out of 10 and models struggle to figure out the type of warmth that exists now. This is a frustration post but I am at a loss. People are like it’s only midway through December but it’ll be January by the time this torch passes. Just a couple days ago we’d trended away from the post Christmas torch to repeated cold shots now it’s legitimately just a few post front cold days then the oven
  17. Chasing week 5+ weeklies already… Hello darkness my old friend…
  18. If you like cold weather, the last 24 hours was not the trend you want
  19. We deserve to break the snow drought this year, but only after every snowless streak record is broken. Give me the record followed immediately by double digits
  20. I’m not worried about long range but that pre Christmas chance has evaporated with most guidance consolidating LP in the MA. Looking more and more like a cold front then warmup.
  21. This snow drought is remarkable. Not only has it not snowed, but it hasn’t been close to snowing
