The GFS weather model just dropped the most insane look I have ever seen. No way this verifies. This is truly…. This can’t even happen, right?

Gonna be a crazy week if these crazy model runs continue.

WARNING: Just a model run. Still 6 days away. Not a forecast.

It’s very rare for James Spann to mention something this far out. But might need to start thinking what you would do in an ice storm situation. It’s been 26 years since last crippling one for all of Atlanta.

Only 286 days until Halloween! 🎃 👻

Oh yeah Macon!? Well…. That snow will melt quickly tomorrow. And your stupid city will still be flat, ugly and boring. Y’all heifers. #gawx

I’m just a little bitter.

So…. Not looking good for snow in Atlanta. Maybe SE metro.

Definitely central Georgia. Which makes me really cranky. I get really indignant when it doesn’t snow on me at all and south gets it. But I guess I’ll be happy for them. 😒

Winter wx update..

Models have trended NW today.

so…. Is Atlanta back in the game for some snow this weekend?

Maybe…

At this time, it’s still looking like those SE of I-85 have the best chance.

NW / I-75, folks, we still have some praying to do. #gawx

You will likely see some crazy maps that show a fantasy snow storm this weekend for Atlanta.

⚠️ Don’t your get hopes up!

I want it to happen too, but the best weather models aren’t showing it…. Yet.

Will it happen? 🤷‍♂️

My best guess is you’ll see a flake or more.

rumors of snow. yes. do I think Atlanta folks should get hopes up? no. but the chance for system this weekend is not zero. #gawx

Probably no real snow for the Metro Atlanta region, but ?

Warm week ahead. Above normal temps. Burning away precious January time. Bummer for winter mischief loving folks.

Sure. There are hints of a pattern change flipping back to cold. Of course the cold will return. But nothing can be said if cold and moisture lining up for any magic.

The weather just sucks as we start 2026. It’s no longer hoping for snow. It’s now hoping for rain.

Because summer will be miserable if this damned drought persists. #gawx #drought
January 2, 2026 at 3:20 PM
#StrangerThings pulled off…. Life.

Seriously.

Epic expectation, but it’s meh. Make the best of the shit ya wind up with.

You can be disappointed. Or you can be happy. It’s your choice. It’s not anyone else’s.

So I just choose to be happy

I finally got #IronMaiden!

🤘

I’m that weird #gay.

Winter returns with front tonight. Sadly little rain is expected with its passage.

Winds and very dry + drought will result in high danger as we head into New Year’s.

Please be responsible with fireworks. Better, just skip them this year.

Also. Interesting pattern coming? Winter mischief? #gawx
December 29, 2025 at 2:02 AM
The warm continues for Atlanta through Saturday. Just unbelievable for this time of year.

But the worse story is the drought. We need rain. And we will get a paltry bit of rain Sunday into Monday.

The cold does return though. Will be sharp contrast come late Monday. #gawx

If John Williams, Hans Zimmer, and Howard Shore did a Christmas album together.

That’s what I’d be listening to.

Happy Easter! Cuz that’s what it has felt like today. #warmChristmas #summerSucks #gawx

But the cold will return. So if ya like this kind of weather. Enjoy while ya can.

-PNA from hell quickly killing all hope for the heart of winter delivering any wintry fun. Really couldn’t ask for a worse pattern setup going into January. Yuck. #gawx

So winter is basically canceled for the rest of this year.

Hard to say if things will look better for fans of winter mischief in January.

Very cold tonight. Please plan accordingly. #gawx
December 14, 2025 at 2:38 PM
This is so cool!
I zoomed in, added a bit of contrast, and went back and forth over the first few seconds to show how the ground around the vents bulges outward before the lava breaks through and blasts it apart. Remarkable stuff. Nature is neat. #Kilauea
December 7, 2025 at 1:02 AM
Just wow.

And if ya ever wondered what it would like right before Madame Pele gobbled you up, check the second posted video.
Y'all the latest episode of the #Kilauea #eruption just went CRAZY. It looks like pressure built up enough to explode out the ground around the two existing vents (first few seconds), leading to a massive surge in lava fountaining.🌋🤯

Well it’s been cold. But it’s not been a good pattern for us for getting any wintry mischief.

Sadly, that will continue to be the case at least through mid month.

Wish I had better news. It’s making me grumpy.

I don’t know what it is. But #StangerThings. Y’all. It feels like a chore to get through. I mean. 5’s first 4 doesn’t suck. But it’s not great. Like S4. It’s just fine/meh. I’ll just be glad it’s over on new year’s and that’s that. Happy memories, yes. Great show at times, yes. But it’s kinda meh.
