December 8-10, 2018 Winter Storm
BlueRidgeFolklore replied to Orangeburgwx's topic in Southeastern States
I have never seen GSP put out a map this bullish 3-4 days out. Heck, I'm not even sure the wave has been properly sampled yet. Rest assured this is a warning shot. These totals WILL go up for the mountains. -

That's exactly my thought. I wouldn't put too much stock into the CMC at this point. It's on an island. -

You should have learned from experience not to get your hopes up in first place, when you're sitting in those areas. Lol. -

They both nailed the forecast in WNC when IIRC, Jason Boyer was very conservative. However, I think that storm is where Chris became really gun shy of the I-85 corridor and still is today. -

That's a 24hr snow map, initializing Tuesday at 2p (so from Monday 2p to Tuesday 2p). By that time, the storm is leaving WNC/Upstate and heading Northeast. That's why it looks the way it does. -

He's basing it off of climo telling him the 85 corridor is nearly always the freezing despite what the models say. -

Did it just disappear? Lol. -

Hot spot still continues to be along the escarpment, esepcially where the east/west escarpment meet north/south there in the Saluda, Hendersonville, Bat Cave, Gerton area. I can see that area getting rocked! -

That's pretty typical with CAD storms. The higher mountains simply block the cold air from reaching that far SW corner of NC. -

LOL at that white dot over Mt. Mitchell. Close to 4 feet I'd assume! -

Cherokee County always gets screwed on these CAD events. -

BlueRidgeFolklore replied to Orangeburgwx's topic in Southeastern States
I expect the typical CAD areas along the escarpment, seeping into the French Broad River Valley and high elevations of the northern mountains, will do well. -
December 8-10, 2018 Winter Storm
BlueRidgeFolklore replied to Orangeburgwx's topic in Southeastern States
HOWEVER, it was actually colder and further south than it's previous run. That would be a nice trend. -
Not much changes on the 06z GFS however did notice the cool down starting earlier for the upper South with some cool air seeping in just east of mountains at hr180 for Virginia, NWNC and WNC.

To be fair, that was Halloween night going into November 1st. I grew up in and have lived in these mountains my entire life. Even here it doesn't snow in October until late October if at all, and usually at high elevations. To that point, I remember plenty of Halloween's with my children, trick or treating in shorts and short sleeves, and sweating, even here in the mountains. Heat in October is normal. Yes this heat is rather extreme due to its unwavering nature but heat now isn't abnormal. This weather pattern has some of you vexed and thinking irrationally. It'll change folks. Probably sooner than later. Hang in there.

You're putting stock in a 15 day forecast from the Weather Channel? Things are getting desperate around here.

That was at Sugar Mountain, wasn't it? Mike puts on a show everytime he comes to NC.

I am a mountain boy so please pardon if this is a stupid question but do the beaches of Brusnwick County's E to W orientation dampen, enhance or have no impact on the effects of storms like this?

Southeast Sanitarium - A Place to Vent

We've driven this road many times. It still may surprise all of us however.
