If you were hoping for snow in last weekend’s winter storm moving through parts of the Southeast (or even if you weren’t but like weather discussions) you will be very interested in this discussion of the complex forecast surrounding the storm by Matt Daniel, UGA alum and television meteorologist at WMAZ in Macon GA.  He has an excellent blow-by-blow description of how the forecasts were made, how social media blew things out of proportion, why snow forecasts are so difficult and what went wrong and right with the final forecast.  You can read it at https://www.athensgaweather.com/reviewing-january-6-7-2017-winter-storm/.
