January is looking like it will be more above average than December unless the last 2 weeks are frigid 

Good news is temps in the Eastern US lag about 20 days behind a SSW event, and with this projected to begin the first week of the year, we may begin to cash in around the last week of January. Bad news is I doubt it'll be enough to get our temps down to average even. Late Jan - early Feb is the time to watch though for extreme cold.

Why doesn't CoD use the FV3?

Can't say why, but the evidence is that CoD only shows 20 ensemble members, whereas sites like WeatherBell shows the 30 from the FV3.

The GEFS maps from College of DuPage use the old GFS rather than the FV3. Meaning it could be more or less reliable depending on how you feel about the FV3 lol

I personally wouldn't put too much stock in this depiction. The "fingers" of snowfall seem to point to an issue resolving borderline temperatures during the time skips. Plus the pattern of snowfall would imply that this is the back end of the anafront, rather than post-front flurries from the back-end energy like the RGEM shows.

Well with the very active Hurricane season I think most of us were in the main tropical page and now with the holidays around, people have other things to do plus the weather has been pretty benign lately.

 

I still frequent the tropical page here. I just remember the southeast forum here as being really busy, especially during winter. It was the first forum I joined right before the January 2017 storm. I remember the epic meltdown as that storm trended NW. Really set the tone for the next few winters haha

It’s been slow around here.  Weather is still a discussed subject I assume.  Maybe they’re doing it elsewhere.  I just don’t feel like signing up for another forum.

Speaking of slow, who’s ready for the usual southeast pattern of 25 and dry then 45 and wet?

add about 20 degrees to those temps and that sounds about right for my neck of the woods

Wife and I heading up there too!  Staying til Tuesday luckily.  Hopefully see some snow.   

The extra 24 hours will probably make all the difference. Although I'll admit I don't know how Gatlinburg fares in a setup like this.

What happened to this forum? I remember it used to be much more populated. Now I can go weeks and it seems like I only missed a handful of posts. Did everyone migrate to a different forum?

I'll be in Gatlinburg this weekend. I hope to see some snow showers but it looks like any chance of snow there begins after I leave on Monday 

FYI, I (WintersNotComing) made a new account under this name to match my account on SouthernWx (and because GoT ended so poorly), so any updates on the snow chase will now be under this account
