Possible significant winter storm for the SE US still on the table and the amount of cold air available might be underdone given the high to the north (MAJOR CAD situation...attention SF).

here is one potential scenario

I hope this verifies! I want snow soooooo bad!!

And to borrow Brent's words: I LOVE YOU!!

I LOVE ALL OF YOU!! I LOVE THE GFS!! (although I may end up hating it forever if it's wrong)


*sings Walking in a Winter Wonderland*

For us men, The GFS is like an exwife --- you start out loving it at day 16 but then when it stops showing you what you want by 3, one has no other choice than to dump it for the girlfriend (the ECMWF).

I could love the girlfriend too. May I see her?

here ya go

If you want real snow come out west to the mountains! I go there every year sometimes it piles up 5 feet or higher. Down here we can only wish for a flurry every 10 years or so .

I hope I'm wrong, but my gut says this is another 1989....when Savannah, Charleston, and the North Carolina Outer Banks experienced a white Christmas, and thick ice coated the bridges over the St John's in downtown Jacksonville....but here in Atlanta, we shivered in single digit temps, but not enough snow fell to make a snowball (0.2" at my location

FYI...the Florida snowstorm you mentioned occurred in February 1958, when over 2" of snow accumilated in the St Augustine area and much of northern Florida.

OK. I tried it a different way and it worked. Nice map.

[LAwxrgal]

Darn I'm right on the rain-snow line...

Couldn't ya just move the low a little further S?

[azsnowman]

I think its Santa Clause...

CLAUSE is like the last paragraph in a contract.

CLAUS is Santa's last name.

Do you have kids? Don't you have the movie "The Santa Clause"?? If so, you ought to re-watch it. This very point is debated in the movie (the first one, not the second one).



MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Jen

"(F)ACTUALLY...it's Santy Claus or Santa Paws!"

GOOD LUCK to all you'uns down under...hope your Christmas is WHITE and as COLD as MINE is gonna BE! Qoute from News Channel 3 in Phoenix, "Coldest night in over 3 YEARS is forecast for Thurday night for Show Low, Pinetop and the White Mountains!" Hmmmm....if we've ALREADY been down to -1°F, just HOW cold IS IT going to GET???

HAHAHA... ROFLMAO!!!!

Let's hope this isn't the ONLY snow we see in my neck of the woods:



Having lived in Atlanta since 1968, I know better than to get my hopes up for a White Christmas. So....I'm going to take a rather doubting position on this .... at least until Friday.

Jeny

I'm trying HARD not to get my hopes up. I've seen this before(not around Christmas) and it always has, in recent memory, failed to pan out. It's either cold enough but too dry or with plenty of moisture and too warm. I'm quite concerned it'll be too dry here. I've seen it before. I remember what was supposed to be a big snow in January 2000... we were expected to get 3-5". Well, West Alabama and Mississippi did but it was too dry over here and we ended up with barely an inch. Atlanta got ice.

Yes, Atlanta got ice. Hence, my absolute AVERSION to frozen precip in the form of anything but SNOW.

During that January 2000 storm, we had the tops of two 75 foot tall pines fall on top of our house at 3:00 am--while we were sleeping (woke us up fast, though).

Five months, many negotions with the insurance company and contractor....not to mention $14,000 later, we finally had a roof on our house again. Don't have ANY interest, as in ZERO interest, in going through that again.

Definitely....

My younger sister never experienced a white Christmas here in Atlanta while growing up. She moved to western Oregon in 1997, and has already seen several white Christmas's there (2 at her home near Portland; several others at Timberline Lodge on Mt Hood...only 45 miles to her east).

A couple years ago, she called on Christmas eve....37 yrs old, but sounding like a 7 yr old, in total delight because of the knee-deep snow she, her hubby, and their kids were playing in

I have heard of the possibility of it coming and giving the MA some snow... is this possible for DCA?

Eastern NC, VA, perhaps the Delmarva, but I don't think it gets as far west as the 12z/20 GFS indicated.

The synoptic setup ensures (assuming the EC is right) that this event is almost exclusively a SE event. So much so that as i said FL may get in on SOME frozen precip.

[breeze]

Local mets are hinting at a 1"-3" accumulation for us on
Wednesday night - since we're off on Friday through Sunday,
I'd be more than happy to close the office on Thursday,
as well!
