GFS also showing no real cold coming back in either.  Confidence in getting another decent snow storm in NC growing very low now for remainder of this winter in my view.  Getting close to throwing the bloody towel in.

JB said winter is not over for the SE!! What could go wrong!

I agree with this mostly, with the caveat that I’d argue that you actually have better than coin flip odds if you go with persistence and go warm.  For whatever reason, warm wins now.  Something is going on that essentially renders analogs of yesteryear useless.

Very said times in the winter anymore for the SE. Could be cyclical. All +NAO lately, warm AMO so it could flip. But the longer we go with warmer being the normal I fear I'm wrong and this is the way we're heading.

It doesn't look bad. Not sure that a conus wide trough with a war would do us any good in the immediate SE for snow though. Looks more of the same to me. But who knows?

I think it’s the ONLY model with an even remote decent look! And that’s sad! All the other ones are straight torch/ SE ridge, ugliness, till Atleast 3rd week of February

I threw mine in last weekend.  There are actually some encouraging signs for the MJO progression for the second half of February, but I suspect that it is too late for us.  MA and NE could get score though.

Well, if you have to have only one model on your side, I would prefer it to be the euro.

The NAO is known to be streaky on a decadal scale, so I am hoping that some the warmth of this past decade might be natural variation.  That being said I expect regular snowfall (ie a nice one every three years or so) in the non-mountainous areas of NC/SC to cease in the next decade or two.

That model is Atrocious!! It shows snow behind just about every cold front that comes through, how many times does that happen............................... 

Yeah, I don't have much faith in the FV3 in the long range. However, this is certainly the type of pattern to see a big cad event, if those highs to the north verify.

Yes, I definitely agree with that, just need to see some support from a model other than FV3.  I think there is a real possibility for some Ice to show up in the CAD areas before 15th  and it may get real interesting sometime after the 15th.  Like you said if those highs verify?!!

Well the 12z FV3 has the Tuesday storm again. Minor to significant ice event across the Piedmont sections of NC, VA, and north parts of the up state. 

That's only 7 days out. In years past, we would start getting excited about the possibility. Honestly I expect the model to lose it at 18z. Plus there isn't other model agreement as well.

Considering the GFS had 60s for the last few runs @ 18z on 2/12, this is a HUGE step in the right direction

Yeah it's stepping towards the FV3; which is showing a significant winter storm at the same period (day 7) then something else a couple days afterwards. I sill refuse to get drawn in; but if we can get more model support and get this to day 5, maybe....

Well it would be Valentines Day.  Mother Nature and Old Man Winter may be getting together for a quick fling.  And I do mean quick cuz there isnt any sustained cold on the horizon.  Sun angle coming into play and after this warm week ground temps will suck.  So its going to have to be the real deal as far as cold and I'm not seeing it here.  Temps around freezing wont get it done.
