Early March southern Snowstorm potential
« on: February 20, 2010, 11:02:55 AM »
Beautiful!
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

the way the low curves to the north up the coast would keep us under snow for two or more days too!

HA, and another textbook screw-zone! Good thing this is still way far out. I still gotta love how much hate the models throw down here, even at this range!

2/20 12Z ECMWF also has a storm during this time frame but the 0 lines are all the way up to the Great Lakes, LOL.

How far out does the Euro go? The sites I look at only go to 168 hours, which is well before this time frame.
Edit: I see that it goes out 10 days? if so, it would get to the beginning of this period

If I may say something about this system..... Looking out today, and being out in the sun has made me want Spring that much more.... That being said, if we're really gonna get something memorable (6-12 inch snow) then that would be great. If its only borderline or just a 1-2 or 2-3 inch snow with tons of cold/clouds, I don't want it. With all that in mind, no one knows whats gonna happen. Only God does, and only time will tell.

This response would be much, much different if I hadn't seen snow for the past year, which is not true. I've seen 10-12 inches so far. More would be good, but if we don't get it, then oh well.

Seriously folks... there are two systems that have to pass through before we can even suggest discussing march.

18z NAM seems to be handling things a little differently with the secondary low after the monday system. That could effect the light snow that is supposed to head to our south later in the week.

Lets keep our eye on this week ahead when we've got cold and a shortwave moving through before we get too far ahead of ourselves.

LOL...I was about to say the same myself. Its not like we are in desperation mode this winter...most (all?) of us have seen a good snow event comparatively speaking. Not to say its not worth watching and the pattern doesn't support an event like this...but I don't see any reason to be getting caught up with 240hour GFS maps right now.  ;)
