I don't think this is a clipper anymore. More Miller A like. Someone correct me if I am wrong. 

GFS sure seems like it wants to go that route.

Again this is only anecdotal, but I will be curious to see if the history and data that I've logged with system set-ups similar to this remain consistent.

The circled areas for my state are where I'm most interested to see if storm impact is higher. This is only based on my own data from the last 10 years (full disclosure, 4/27/2011 is one of my personal analogs that is included - which I am fully aware is extreme and not the same). I'm certainly no scientist.

This is only anecdotal, but one thing I've learned over the last decade is that I need to pay attention to even the "marginal" hatches. I've actually logged the 5 most destructive thunderstorms that have hit my location - these are storms that have damaged or impacted my property in some way (severe/moderate i.e trees down, power line on the ground, home damage etc.). 

4 of those storms occured under "marginal" threat hatches for my area, 2 of which accompanied cells that had tornado warning criteria at some point (either before, during or after impacting my property).

I've learned to keep an eye on anything within those risk hatches regardless of risk percentages. I will certainly be watching this closely.

How freaking hard is it to vent in the appropriate thread!? If anyone has a right to b*tch and moan about the lack of winter precipitation, it’s me. mby hasn’t had the first solid flake. If you want to cancel winter in the discussion thread, you better have a long detailed explanation with pictures to back it up. \endrant   

The sad part is you don't even have to @ anyone - they know who they are...

I am aware but I am referring to the overall setup east of the mountains this year.

No offense, but all 3 times I've seen snow IMBY - just this year - were preceeded by non-snow forecasts. I don't think any of you know what is going on to be honest.

Before too long, there's a decent chance Baton Rouge will be much colder and even snowier than Asheville. Just a comical situation unfolding.

On the plus side, snow plumes show a mean of around 70 inches for Snowbird/Alta in Utah over the next 7 days, where I'm headed late next week.

Alta is great but don't sleep on Solitude and Brighton. You could spend a week skiing Solitude and not hit the entire mountain.

Can’t recall so much angst over freezing rain in years past. Toughen up people 

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that some of us have been stuck inside with our 3 kids from ages 10-17 for the last year. Doing that without power in very cold temps will be 100% miserable instead of only 85% miserable...

Is it bad to say I kind of want an ice storm? It’s been so long since we had one in Raleigh that amounted to anything other than a nuisance event. Definitely helps I have a generator that’s been sitting unused for 3 years

Ukmet dumps the cold on us at 144hr with a storm out west. Great look.

After this past weekend I vote you start the potential thread if it calls for one.

My plan to create a barrier and hold the snow ransom is almost complete!

Clouds have thickened up here but temp up to 37 so...

Then hopefully that will help keep temps from climbing into unmanageable territory.

Literally the reason I just scroll this forum now.

Coming here is basically doom scrolling at this point.

Dude. How much we would love to see this forecast. 

4-8" this afternoon and 11-17" NEW tonight .

 

 

 

Ughhhh. I don't know what's happened to me. The older I get, the more I am repulsed by cold weather. It just sort of happened. No idea why. I still like to watch snow fall. But I don't want to be out in it. That's weird, right?

9 minutes ago, Cold Rain said:

And by the way, this is completely typical for winter weather around here.  North and west zones are favored and should do pretty well.  I believe we've seen peak snowfall maps for this one.  For south and eastern areas, we need to see big time suppression 5 days out.  We go through this every winter.

Imma need one of those sweet Cold Rain maps for clarification please...

Your user name is packbacker. Since you back the pack you should know that at State games they play and sing old McDonald had a farm. So you really want to come at me with a southern poke? Come on

My intelligence is just fine someone is a little sensitive today. My post was solely on the 4 week map you posted. No point in posting anything over 10 days.  

Guys......plez

You didn't have to paint the walls for St Patty's day. 

Ironically, we are about to paint those walls a gray-ish color. 

Awesome. I hope you rounded everything off with a Chimay.

I can't do that anymore.  Not the drinking - the paying.  Having three kids will absorb your beer snob money.  Adding a pack of Chimay to a cart with Duvel and Belhaven just seemed gluttonous and unnecessary.  I keep telling myself that anyway.

I don't think it would work out. If you'll notice, there is what looks to be a Guinness on the counter. And as you know, pro wrestling frowns heavily on substance usage by it's entertainers.

That is funny.  It is in fact Guinness (black) - but that was precluded by a Duvel. 

Top o tha mornin to ya there, Mr. Bevo!

Likewise good sir.

Have you considered a professional wrestling career?  Rowdy Roddy Piper retired I believe so there is a suitable opening for you. 

I'm okay with just tossing cabers and anvils.  I have no desire to walk the dark, dark road of "professional wrestling". 

St. Patrick's Day is my Christmas.  And Thanksgiving.  Go ahead and throw Halloween in there too.  I got caught in my shenanigans this past Sunday by my 9 year old:

Drove up to Spartanburg to play with my grandbaby this weekend

You appear to be on the Milliken property - it was a great day to be outside too.  Looking good for a 22 year old.

A good way to cheer up.  A 24oz extra rare prime rib.  

I woke up today, and you were still the man.
