1/21-1/22 Winter Storm OBS Thread
Daniel Boone replied to metalicwx367's topic in Southeastern States
Larry, there's alot of bad Data that is being used unfortunately. I spoke with the Chief Met at KMRX a few years back regarding the Issues. He said the FAA does govern the Official Airport Station's used by the NWS and that their Quality Criteria is not par with the NWS Standard Guidelines. Ie., they allow 4 degrees either side of actual for the Temperature Calibration. -
The now postive PDO is definitely having an effect on the Pattern. Models have consistently tried to do away with the PNA in the LR or at least waffle to and from it only to bring it back. The MJO once in warm Phases should throw it off kilter for a bit but, once it reaches PH 7 expect it to reassert. We can get some big Rain to Snow Events in 7. Then, if it gets to 8 at decent Amp I think the whole Forum should cash in with a formidable Storm or two. The Feb. '85 possible resemblance or the '96 one Carver's alluded to may have merit. I think the only drawback will be if the MJO doesn't make it past 6 or the Nina is able to augment the Central Pac Ridge during the warm phase period.

Morning Low of Zero here. Report of 2 below in Dryden, just NE of Pennington gap. Some deep snow covered Valleys were 5-10 below. I went just north of Pennington gap this Morning through the Gap of Stone Mountain up Hy 421( half mile North of Pennington) and there's plenty of Snow through there.

January Medium/Long Range: A snowy January ahead?
Daniel Boone replied to mappy's topic in Mid Atlantic
I saw him measure it with a measuring Tape at a convenience store on the Lot in the Video . -
We're running about 3-4 degrees colder than KTRI over here. I'd say much of the area over there has some as well. Warm spot there .

2024-2025 Fall/Winter Mountain Thread
Daniel Boone replied to Buckethead's topic in Southeastern States
You have to go way back to 1895 to find an extreme Event. Lake Charles recorded 2 feet then. Nola 8". That one moved up and got us all involved with quite a bit. -
1895 is when Lake Charles recorded 2 feet from that one Storm !

January Medium/Long Range: A snowy January ahead?
Daniel Boone replied to mappy's topic in Mid Atlantic
It'll make it after it warms up enough to be Rain. -
Been watching it too. Amazing. Already close to 2 inches in NW Florida. Been watching some live fee from there too.

I don't know why anyone would use the Nam to forecast Temps.. It has a well known warm bias in the area. For that matter pretty much all the SRM'S have that bias other than the RGEM although the Nam is worst . Down to 7 here and I'm on a Hill so, you can bet a few degrees lower in the Valleys.

Deep Mountain Valleys with decent Snow pack may do it.

Yep. Still active STJ as well. Where's that Nina augmented Central Pac Ridge and non existent STJ the warmanistas continue harping on.. -
Every heavy Streamer and shower missed my home tonight. Only a heavy dusting ! Pennington gap just 3 Miles NNE of me as a crow flies, has gotten several heavy Streamers and picked up 3 inches Tonight. What fell this morning there had melted earlier as they hadn't gotten much being around just 1400 ft ele. Here's a link to Cam.

Yep. Had a six hour Blizzard that dumped 15 inches with 4-6 feet Drifts after two and a half inches of Rain ! Fell early on the 13th . Rain changed to Snow around 1:30 am. Winds gusted over 40 mph. Recorded 13.5" on Valentine's Day the following Year.

Working out good there. We got above freezing for over an hour after the inch and a half this morning and a half to three quarter's melted. The sun was out for a solid 10 minutes during that time and really fried it. It's now down to 29 with flurries.

Yeah, I think February may be similar to February 1985. If so, may be some big Storms with Rain to Snow scenarios.
-
Mainly flurries here now as snow continues to melt. Up to 34 .

Just measured an inch and a half here in extreme SW Virginia where that Model only gave a 30% chance of an inch or more . Short range Model's are terrible here.
