They got snow on Halloween. They used up all their good, snow Ju-Ju for possibly decades !

Merry Christmas, Southeast Crew !!! Yes, it snowed in Lizella, GA on Christmas. I didn't see it fall, but some of my neighbors have the video proof. I was up about 1:00 am and saw the little band incoming but it set up just south of me. A smattering of flakes, Is all it takes, For Southerners like us, Such happiness makes, It falls for a moment, And sticks for a few, It alters our feelings, Enhances the view, We track it's incoming, With models and prose, Rejoice! "negative tilt", We mourn the, "warm nose," But a Maconites dream, Primed with each flake that I see, Is the promise again, Of February, '73.

It's also possible that the "South of 85" curse is specifically because of Mack and the country may now be faced with a new curse of "South of Hwy 20"(hwy that bisects Dubuque). We should all monitor 20-21 snowfall in Iowa and the midwest and if this hypothesis proves correct we will all chip in and buy Mack a house on the beach in Fort Lauderdale !!! And, anticipation will bring you back to post in the SE Forum, for sure, as we all love to watch a good tragedy, i.e, our GFS-inspired winters. Enjoy the new environs, Sir ! New adventures are always great for the soul.

Watching this line from here in Macon with ya, rips. Yeah, not good.

06z GFS closes off a low(weak) over southern Mississippi on Saturday morning which gives a little blue-radar stuff to northern parts of Alabama. Fizzles as it reaches Georgia as the low is squashed. 00z did as well, but just a little further north before squashing as well. Neither Euro or CMC have shown this feature. Curious to see if 12z has it today.

"And this mornings's weather report, Bob, has us with sunny skies, 38 degrees, with a slight chance of iguanas........."

Sleet sounds good and yeah, he would love it. And, it has been a while, and I think I posted iI in the banter thread a year or so ago, and I might have missed some update, but what's the story with Tony? No word from him in years.

Merry Christmas to all AmericanWX !!! May the future find your winters filled with snow and your hearts with the Joy of the Season !!!

Dang. Here in Macon it's raining at 39deg and lightning popping outside like it's summertime.

Glad to hear it ! Only benefit, I guess, is that you've got a lots of time to read our silly postings on the weather !

Any update on Frosty's surgery?

Reading this type of thing for quite a while now and haven't seen this term before. National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO 501 AM MDT Sun Oct 27 2019 .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 501 AM MDT Sun Oct 27 2019 The cold air has moved into northern Colorado overnight, and as the airmass has moistened, temperatures in the moist layer have remained warmer than -10C, resulting in super-cooled liquid water hydro-meteors. Until the airmass becomes even cooler, freezing drizzle will continue falling. Road temperatures appear to be remaining just above freezing, so ice accumulation has been limited to elevated surfaces.

0.15 at MCN yesterday evening. And I heard thunder, too. (it's the small things) Currently 65 with winds out of the west at 5mph. 3 squirrels tearing up bird feeders. 1 deer eating whats left of the wilted hydrangeas.

Just arrived home from shopping and can verify that clouds sometimes produce precipitation that looks like fairy spit here at MCN. (but I still never turned on my wipers)

102 at MCN. 4 out of last 7 days at 100 or higher. Personally, I have totally enjoyed the anomalous September. It's been dry, yes, but it's been great to be outside without your clothes getting wet before you get to the car.

50 at MCN this morning, this, only two-and-a-half days after it hit 103. That's a pretty big swing for us.

Took a screenshot of this Satellite Photo from yesterday. I was enamored with it so I showed it to my family. Everyone sees something different, but tell me what you see off the coast of the Carolinas?

200mph gate-to-gate shear on tornado at Perry, GA

2" Hail reported at the Macon Airport.

Was trying to figure out the forcing mechanisms that make this frontal passage through the southeastern states and associated precipitation different than our usual "cold chasing rain" scenario. Here is a helpful link describing the anafront scenario. https://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/what-are-ana-and-kata-fronts/73473 Looks like the difference is the velocity of the cold at the surface is so fast that it shoots out ahead, with the attendant moisture being forced up and over the advancing cold.

Dang. The number of people that I now 'ignore' is getting out of hand. Can the moderators please just take a minute to nicely touch some of them on the shoulder and say, "Hey, we like you, but read more, post less?" A little banter thrown in here-and-there in the discussion thread is fine, but folks, c'mon. And, I like to see something showing up that warrants it's own thread, but......just dang. And.... the Saints were robbed. That is all.

Well, we've all just got finished watching "Charlie Brown Christmas", and are reminded that there is a Lucy,.... and her attendant football........ That's why some folks aren't jumping on the long-range-cold bandwagon yet, although the indices seem favorable.

Yeah, I think so. According to the 00z FV3, vertically stacked lows at all levels pass right over on Friday. Surface temps are warm, but at elevation there should be something to see. Hoping to visit friends in Highlands this weekend so I think we may go up a day early now.

Sounds like just their kind of place! Hovering at 32/33deg here.
