Do we know for certain when the hurricane hunter data is getting ingested into the modeling?

The top map makes absolutely no sense at all. Looks like a kid colored it.

I didn’t think it started until the 6z and fully by 12z. My brain is running on 2 hours of sleep and I just got back from my cae round trips and clocking into work so I’m not totally sure

I was assuming the 0Z GFS got the data and that’s why it held serve. While the other models shit the bed.

Euro is on an island on its own right now… do we trust it?

Between you, me, and @wncsnow. I just don’t know how we can get or feel any lower.

You as well. I guess the whole foothill crowd. The hype was so real Sunday-Tuesday. Everything was going right. Operational models. Ensembles. Slight fluctuations but it was locked in.

Boys - The Upstate of SC, especially I-85 in Spartanburg, has seen ZILCH in years!  Seeing that mid-morning GFS run was one for the ages, 19 inches of snow (hahahahaha).  But there is a big difference between digital snow and real snow.  We haven't even SNIFFED a flake and won't during this system either - Praying for 6 inches of sleet now!

Jan 2022? That’s the last one for most of us. Guess a few of us have seen a flake or a dusting here or there. But I know it’s tough rn living in the upstate or lower elevations of wnc

It’s over boys! Cope and get those chainsaws ready.

I wasn’t joking when I said that I had 02 flashbacks after that first insane run. That unfortunately hasn’t changed much for what I’m expecting for MBY, but I do believe that the sleet potential will be much higher than what is currently shown for a lot of people

I’m always hoping that everything trends colder as we get closer to game time

Steve has the answer in our mountain thread bud.

This is a rant and whining, so if you don’t want to read it, that’s fine, ignore and press onward but I just have to get it off my chest. 
 

Is it ever going to snow a warning criteria amount here again? How long do we have to wait? 5 more? 10 more? 15 more years? I really wonder. We can’t do one damn thing right. For years we’ve watched suppression be the reason we’ve missed and now in crunch time we’re going to get all of the amplitude we possibly need. We literally are allergic to winning. Go ahead and crack open the salt container for when we see a suppressed storm in a few weeks so Charleston can score again. I hate this sport sometimes.
