packbacker Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Brutal run of the GFS...and with how things look now it's safe to way we are going to be snowless until atleast end of January. I know this winter isn't like last winter for the continental US but for NC it sure does. Good news it should be seasonably cool and wet the next 2-3 weeks.

packbacker Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 And when DT abandon's ship for this week and starts tip toeing about a non-wintery January you know it's bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpiemaniac Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Well, one things for certain with next week"s system. At least I'll have something to do at work next week with following it. Oh, Brick. Haven't you learned anything? It'll drop off the models by Monday Sunday morning. Fixed my own post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnweathernut Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Anyone else wonder why it is that the models take baby steps toward a positive solution, yet when it wants to take snow away it just goes ahead and takes GIANT steps?? You have to find the comedy in this, or as a winter lover it will drive you absolutely crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goduke Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Well with the Jan 3/4th storm looking like a bust, things are really starting to look like last winter.:/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 As Burger said yesterday the deck is stacked against us. If one was to equate warmth to rolling the dice, warmth is a seven because there are just more ways for it to get warm from a probability standpoint. There are fewer ways for it to get cold due to latitude, elevation, and proximity to oceans. I think that is why the models have a tendency to more often go warm than cold once a solution is somewhat determined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazaroo Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 The models always do this to us it seems. I still say it comes back in the next day or so although probably not a huge precip producer but may surprise some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tacoma Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 will have to agree with Brick I'd rather it warm up if we can't have snow. cold and dry are no fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magpiemaniac Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I know some else will elaborate more, but this is not like last winter.. I know that technically you're absolutely correct from a meteorological perspective, but to the average person in the mid-South, this is by most measures so far a repeat of last winter. Most people don't get twisted up in the model watching and dynamics. Colder and dry or warmer and wet is all they see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magpiemaniac Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Like many of us, the epic winters of 2009-10 and 2010-11 spoiled me. Early 2010 was especially fun. But for me personally, the only thing that sort of saved winter 2011-12 was the Feb 19, 2012 snow. It wasn't much, but it prevented Old Man Winter from pitching a shutout. I'm crossing my fingers for at least a little something this winter, but I think I'm less confident this winter than last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilj4425 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Nail in the coffin?? You obviously are forgetting about the models with the 12-25-10 storm, basically no storm 3 days out. My thoughts on this system: "With as much dignity as he could muster, the Old Man gathered up the sad remains of his shattered major award. Later that night, alone in the backyard, he buried it next to the garage. Now I could never be sure, but I thought that I heard the sound of taps being played, gently."

NGaWxNerd Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I think we need to coin a new term for our members here...HOH's. We are the Hang on Harriets, polar opposites of the Negative Nancies. HOH- no matter what the latest model run shows we hang on to the last ones that look good in hopes of miracles, flukes and turn arounds. Proud to be a HOH for the Jan 3-4 event.

POWERSTROKE Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 no concern here until feb 15th. I know we have had big snows in March but by feb 15th we seem to be getting warmer and looking like spring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 This sucks! You can't trust these models at all. All they can tell us is when it's going to be dry or rain. Can't handle snow at all. And looks like next week is going to be our only shot for a while. This winter is starting to look like crap again.
