More winter weather around Feb.5-6?

I'm just going to casually check on your comments about this system from time to time this week.

I need a break from excessive/obsessive model watching.

Meanwhile i have to go back to school tomrrow, its about time. So i can't watch the models, but i did notice that NOAA already has middle tennessee with a 70% chance of snow/sleet friday.

Which "area"?  You're "area" might be at 70%, but my "area" isn't.  Care to clarify?

Well i didn't mean all of middle tennessee, i think it is just the northwest corner. But friday night all of middle tennessee has a 50% chance of rain and snow.

Yeah, I would be careful in making blanket statements like that.  That could cause ALL KINDS of racket.

Well geez, i didn't think of that, but good thing not many people are on here.

No Offense guys but this is definatly worth following...

Let me rally the troops for a second.

How many countless winters have gone by without nary a threat of snow?  How many countless winters in the future will go by without a major threat?  Lots of them..lol

The upcoming pattern is about as nice as one could ask for until March...

Eastern and Talk Weather forums are a fire about this particular storm and the pattern following it...

I agree but the only reason people come to this forum is when there is a winter storm coming, they never stay after/ or if there is a break.

Totally agree with the sentiment of your post.  However, Nashville has only had two years in recorded weather history(125 years) without any snowfall.  We've been a terrible snow drought, but we ain't Birmingham.    Again, totally agree with your post, Feb seems to have all kinds of potential.

[SnowSeek]

Yeah I mean I was just thinking how silly it is for me too feel tired and stop following storm when we only get these kind of threats 3-4-5-6 times a year...

I really wish some of you could watch Joe Bastardi's video blog this morning.  Holy Cow!  What a pattern that is about to develop.  Joe calls days 10-20 and beyond "the coldest and wettest pattern of the year".  You get some of that kind of cold air in here with that southern jet amped up and you got a niiiiice setup for the Snow Weenies like myself.

The way I see it, whether I hug every single model run or not has not bearing on what happens in the end.  It will snow or not whether I'm along for the early model rollercoaster ride or not. 

When a good chance looks imminent within 48 hours, I'm sure I'll plug in.

In the mean time, I have a busy work week ahead.  Those of you with more time on your hands, by all means stay on top of it and let us know when some exciting things pop up.

Being a "newbie", you haven't been around here during a really active weather period, like say our spring severe weather season.  It seems as if this past event was your first here at TNWX...and we're glad you're here.  But, people are visiting here most every day.  THIS place is where some, if not MOST, people get the weather info they're seeking.  Honestly, this is THE ONLY source I get my weather info from.  Just because we don't have 150 members users logged in doesn't mean this place goes into hibernation mode.  If the wrong person sees your previous post about "70% chance of snow over Mid TN", that person is going to think that the entire area has a 70% chance of snow.  As a reliable venue for weather info, we don't want to get in the business of hyping something that CURRENTLY doesn't need to be hyped.

Agreed.  Most of us have a life outside of weather.  To those that have free time to look at the models and discuss what is progged, by all means, we encourage you to do so.  That's what this venue is for.  Me personally, I took some heat from the "Better Half" regarding my constant hugging during the evening/night model runs.  To further prevent conflict, I'm taking a step back for a few days, but I'll be stopping in to view everyone's discussions.  If, and I hope it is, the storm is still present on Thursday, I'll start hugging models again.  Until then...I'm claiming model abstinence.

I am waiting with great anticipation. I hope this is still out there on Thursday. What are you experts thinking about the AO going strongly negative in next few days? I have read James Spann saying there is a strong negative spike coming.
