Looking at the radar, I see a LOT of convection firing up around Texas/Gulf Coast. Precip is BLOSSOMING north, east and NE of there. Just throwing that out there. Implications? Could that slow down the wave and in turn slow down the monster low, that is about to break the chains in the Gulf Stream?

Models may be underdoing the precip because short term drought.

Just got to Waycross Ga.  Hunkered down here for the duration.  This looks to be a primo spot for Southeast Georgia.  Hearing anywhere from 4-7 inches of snow. Don’t think mixing will be a big issue.  Expect to stay mainly snow throughout.  

Awesome that’s my hometown! Give us lots of reports! And it’s looks like freezing rain might be an issue. Didn’t think Waycross would stay snow the entire time. Looks like that will be further NW near Douglas and Alma.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I SERIOUSLY DOUBT this is ALL VIRGA? Really? This thing is looking more and more robust. Even GSP is starting to throw in some wording in their FD! I know that this is the Intellicast Radar and will get flamed for it, but i guess what i am trying to say is how is this translating to obs. Anyone reporting anything in those areas. If anything, this would help soften up the atmosphere for the big dawg?

There are a few mPing snow reports in Louisiana, so it is making it to the ground in some spots!

I’m happy for Florida and SE Georgia. They never get to see snow. A lot of kids are gonna be happy this morning. I mean, this has to be a record for that far south in Florida. 

Yes, I am too! The radar is looking good for them. I am wondering if anyone has any data to show where the main low is setting up/tracking?

Arctic air is coming through the great lakes low is just off the coast of Florida the other two players you can see crossing Idaho, and coming through Texas/Louisiana.
