Great post and really disappointing you have to explain it yet again especially to those that should get it.

Thank you for that and I think you are too. Actually you illustrate his point in this post to me. Posting that map without explaining or discussing the fact that it may be starting to show a pattern change and not a verbatim solution tends to mislead those trying to learn. You and I know it will not happen as depicted others do not. If you've read my posts you know I like to have fun but we need to keep the disco thread clean and the 300 plus GFS maps are pretty much meaningless for anything other than trends. I learned everything I know about how to read these maps from listening to guys like Weathernc,WOW,grit CR, Queencity ,HKYWx,downeast,pack, Burger , many others and they will too.

It is what separates AMWX from the rest of the C4ap out there. These posts would be laughed out of the MA forum.

This one when it's known that it is wishful and improbable information.

Everybody,me included would love for those to work out but they rarely do. The fact that the fantasy storms are there at all is awesome though. We have gone winters where we couldsn't even get those. The middle to end of Feb looks really good. We just got to hang on and wait for it to get real.

That's not new and he's right it's banter. Not much on that map will look anything like that when it gets here. At that distance we look for trends and model consensus.

Looks like ice for me. Glad the previous storm did some major pruning.

This, not going to get focused on anything till I see some cold.

Has he ever been a member here?

Dare we ask Why he asks?

Didn't want to be the parade killer but that rain on the Euro's not all that cold. Got a ways to go.

Yepp, they always score big.

I looked really hard at farms in Roxboro and west of Chapel Hill but just couldn't come to terms with anyone. Made an offer on a place just north of Roxboro that got turned down. They later had to sell for less than my offer.Things turned out for the best anyway. Better place/deal and I'm way over climo.

I seriously reviewed historical snow maps before making a final decision on my last home purchase.

Yeah, been silent on this but cmon man climo is not your friend down that way.

Hope you are right ,rolling the dice, Birthday wkend at the Biltmore for the 24th

Great book with a simple message. Must read for my kids and bought copies for friends that needed it.

Mack's reply "I don't like all this positivity from Pack! I'll bet you two bags of preemergent, that I don't see an inch of snow or ice accums with this "awesome " pattern coming up!" You guys just got to wait for things to shake out. I went back and read the Dec. thread and it was fushadey all over again. Mack, when he comes back I believe you owe Pack two bags of preemergent.

Great posts CR and downeast. You newer folks heed their last two posts, you will enjoy this hobby more. BTW I would not bet against NCSNOW or his last post.

See Snowgoose's post from yesterday on how the GFS has handled temps at this range of late.

Euro was colder?

Exactly, are we really going to do this again?

Not sure what it is but Wow has a thread (Russian pop ups) on the top of the home page where he has addressed some of this.

TY sir, always good to get your input.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the Euro handle the cold better early on for the last storm than the GFS?
