2/8 0Z GFS shows snow for southern Mississippi, southern Alabama, southern Georgia, and maybe Florida....sickening and unnatural.

I think it will trend to the north some....how much is the question.
Snow in the South is wonderful. It has a kind of magic and mystery that it has nowhere else. And the reason for this is that it comes to people in the South not as the grim, unyielding tenant of Winter's keep, but as a strange and wild visitor from the secret North. -THOMAS WOLFE

00z GFS stinks for middle TN.   >:(

Was hoping to see at least a little bit of a northward trend on this run.  Oh well, there's still plenty of time.

Check the 18Z out...this is actually in the right direction.

What is making the low take such a southern track?  Its not a like there is a huge dome of cold air sitting over us.  We are cold but not that cold that the low would track through Tampa.

The HPC tends to think it will go farther north

If it's any indication, while watching the News 2 weather last night, Brother Davis did mention the possibility of "another winter storm" Friday.  He said, and I paraphrase, "The long range models show a significant storm system passing to our south.  That will have to be watched, though.  My old meteorological professors said those lows shunted that far south on long range models tend to jump back northward."  I guess we'll have to wait and see.   ::shrug::

I think it comes back north as well.  But it is concerning that the Euro is THAT far south.

And I'm not buying snow for Mobile, either.

12z GFS run says that TN gets hosed.  Guess we'll have to go SOUTH to see snow this time.  ::bangingheadintowall::

Unless there's a drastic change in the models, it looks like "no soup for us".  ::shaking_finger::
