  1. Finally at 12z the GFS op and GEFS seem to be joining hands to set us up between 360 - 384. Well established 50/50, steady stream of cold air coming down from northern Canada. Texas/Gulf Coast support both surface and aloft with developing rainfall in the deep south.
  2. Hey, that's a hell of an observation!!!!! It is sometimes amazing how quickly attitudes and beliefs can change!!! I am not trying to trash the control! Just making an honest reaction to past opinions.
  3. I understand your thoughts completely. Elevation folks like myself are accustomed to March snow. We do your March stuff later in April and especially May.
  4. I was on the pavement on my back putting triple chains on a 3 ton VDOT trk. in the middle of Rt. 250 on Afton Mt. on April 7, 1971. No danger because nothing was moving with dozen of semi's jackknifed in the heavy snow. Probably 8 inches on the pavement.
  5. You are spot on!! So many are so quick to say that winter is over when March arrives. Nothing could be further from the truth!!!!!! Dear God, so many heavy snow March periods in my lifetime, 1958, 1960, 1962, 1980, 1993, 1994, 2013....... Sea level communities lose out in late March but elevation carries into the early part of April. I received 9 inches on April 7, 1971 at 1300 ft. !!!!! At 1850 ft, April 7, 1971 received 17 inches...
  6. I agree and I believe the greatest opportunity is Feb. 20 - March 15 based on the Euro weeklies. Some may say, well this is only 25 days. Historically, we have been buried in 15 days with several storms.
  7. I don't believe "we go past the first week of March" but we could be in the last week of February to first week of March before significant pay-dirt.
  8. I Love those classic cars buried in snow during early March of 1960............................................. https://winstonsalemtimetraveler.com/2020/03/18/wayback-wednesday-the-snowy-march-1960-wednesdays/
  9. Thanks!! I was just ready to try again with the link.
  10. A lot of high anticipation is quite obvious this afternoon. Will mid February to mid March thrill snow lovers in the tristate region or will it end in disappointment???? We cannot know at this time. Ask me around April 1. Psu has often referred to 1958 Feb/March. The advertised possibilities are now reminding me of 1960. During mid Feb - mid March of 1960, brutal cold and repetitive snowstorms nearly paralyzed the western Carolina's and Virginia. While your dreaming about the possibilities, read the details of 1960 from Laurence Lee of NOAA: file:///C:/Users/James/Downloads/Review_Feb-Mar_1960(1).pdf
  11. I'm with you man!! We all have regrets looking back over our lives.
  12. Ice is trending in your direction. Perhaps a half inch of ice in southwest Va.
  13. If the GFS 24 hr. trend continues the 12z run will have precipitation up into central Virginia. Surface and 850 temps. would be borderline.
  14. Honestly, I had this feeling 24 hrs. ago. after I looked at the latest Weeklies. I tracked the trajectory of the lowest heights and got an uneasy feeling. I still have high hopes but not as confident as 5 days ago.
