Don’t look now, but the latest GFS has next weekend a stripe of 2-3ft of snow stretching from Alabama to North Carolina

Ha ha, agreed! It brought back memories of the DGEX maps.

The 12z Canadian model came in with monster snow totals.

You just broke the internet posting that map. Lol. I can’t recall ever seeing a forecast that insane for snow across the southeast. With what I’ve seen in the models I was expecting an insanity run to show the full potential, but that run is a different level.

We got like 10” total in 2015. That was the most snow I’ve ever seen in my life. It was gone two days later - typical Mississippi. Lol

Actually, ABC 33/40 were the ones who first created the forum many moons ago and John Oldshue oversaw it. (I've been here since 2002 and it was already in existence then. Yes, I'm old.)

I first found the forum not too long after the 1998 Birmingham tornado when 33/40 was running it. I was a devoted lurker for a long time until some event eventually forced me to register and reply to a thread. I know I have a hard drive from the computer I used back then stashed somewhere. I wish I had time to look for it, because I'm pretty sure I have screenshots from the early days on it. It would be interesting to see them all these years later, if I could get it to work. I'm still mostly a lurker, because I have no expertise to offer, but I'm still poking my head up from time to time when it seems right. All of us from back then have grown old together. Time flies when you're having fun, right?! I don't think I have ever started a thread, although I certainly remember at least ONE that YOU started. Don't do that again, please. lol

Heh. Holy cow, yeah. If this verifies next week, it would make up for a lot of disappointment for Alabama folks.

(lala land GFS - no, I do not think this will verify, but like Richard says, the setup for storms after this one will have plenty of cold air)

That would definitely make up for not having ANY measurable snow since 2018 in Dallas County, Alabama.
 
Just looked at my BMX forecast for the Selma, AL area and it is saying a 20% chance of freezing rain this coming Friday night, Jan30. And I cannot find a single model that shows ANY type of precipitation during that time frame. Does anyone know what they might be looking at?

UPDATE: They took that out of the forecast...just a cold, dry day. I am still hoping that a system with just SNOW will move through while the temps are cold. Most models are showing a system in the Gulf at that time...hoping that it will trend back north. But like I said, there is a big snow shield over my area. We literally got 10 minutes of snow last year when south Alabama had that nice snow storm.

This weekend's ice storm has me itching for some powder. Seems like there's a non-zero possibility of that next weekend, but ensembles are not in agreement at all about what that would look like. Definitely not counting on it, but we will see.

I'll take #17 please! ❄️❄️❄️ ...the only one showing snow here.
 
Great Lakes ice coverage is already up to 41%, which is near the average annual peak.

With the open water temps already cold, and what might be a 10-14 day stretch of more very cold weather for the Upper Midwest, there's a chance we could challenge the all-time ice coverage record of 94.7%, set in 1979.

It's interesting the Euro which has been the most reliable lately is showing snow snow chances with that system as well. Temps are borderline here though according to the euro. Definitely something to watch
