    Now THAT is a wedge. I have no clue where the high is positioned but those isobars scream damaging ice potential.

    I need to print some “I hate the Pacific” t-shirts. I’d make a killing with our group and the Mid Atlantic crew.

    Also the returns are blossoming in Alabama at this hour. Model miss??

    We’re not out on Tuesday yet. That storm is making big trends south and now that high doesn’t look quite as transient.

    A few hundredths of an inch of accretion from western Cleveland/Rutherford, up through the rest of the foothills into lower Va. a tenth in the mts

    Am I remembering correctly that the Canadian models typically have a cold bias? I know the NAM does, but I feel like the Canadian suite does this sort of ice storm bell-ringing pretty often. Fram says no issues Saturday.

    The precipitation is getting lighter and lighter as well with each model suite. That doesn’t bode well for trees and power lines.

    Well I don’t care where we discuss things as long as the HOT LIGHT IS ON THE THREAD LIKE A KRISPY KREME AFTER 12Z

    LETS GET IT ROLLING. I WANT THE HOT LIGHT ON AFTER 12Z LIKE WERE RUNNING A DADGUM KRISPY KREME

    I pay attention about as well as my wife says I do.
  13. BooneWX
    If 12z comes in the same, I do vote we start a thread tho. Ya know… always good practice anyways

    Yea I’m a bit skeptical unless the low can continue trending weaker. I’ve almost never seen an in-situ CAD produce anything more than maybe a tenth of an inch of ice. Dew points rarely verify on the low end of the scale in these events. I’m fine with all of that. If it’s not snow or even sleet, I’m not interested anyways. Nothing good about freezing rain.

    I’m normally very skeptical about in-situ CAD setups because the dew points rarely verify on the lower scale as the models depict, but this one is starting to get interesting for the CAD region. If that low continues to look less amped and further south, I’m afraid that cad won’t be easily scoured out.

    Heck, let a few storms cut. Like I said earlier, we have ZERO snowpack anywhere we need it to be. We’re setting up for quite a few high pressure over the top opportunities and some snow would put a cap on modifying those air masses.

    If it were me, I’d shop the Avery county area. Ashe fits the distance you want but lacks the orientation and elevation to produce the best results from flow events. Here are some other areas in Watauga that will always do well and are lesser known: zionville, Matney, Sugar Grove, Vilas. If snow is truly a priority to you, I’d avoid Valle Crucis and anywhere east of Boone.

    Just hang in there. It’ll be blocking and +PNA galore by Memorial Day weekend!!

    Also, idk if I’m the only one to notice this but holy smokes what a year of haves and have nots with regard to rain. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a year long weather pattern where when it rains, we’re talking a foot+ in a very short window and when it flips dry, we are absolutely talking about nothing, zilch, nada for 2 months. There’s been zero middle ground. The pattern is either borderline tropical or it gives you absolutely nothing for 6-8 weeks.

    I’m afraid Saturday may be our table setting storm. It sucks if so but it’s the sacrificial lamb we need, even in the climate favored areas. I’m not saying it won’t sting, cause it will. But laying down a significant snow pack to our north as we go into a VERY strong -NAO is a small victory even if it comes in the form of 35 degrees and rain. Based on everything I’ve seen, we aren’t punting. Just simply getting the nice china out of the cabinet and dusting off the wine glasses.

    I may be seeing this wrong but based on that radar depiction, we just need better moisture transport further north to help out. One of those classic situations where it’s snowing if it’s coming down hard enough and drizzling if it’s not.

    I’m fine with this at the day 5-6 range. Trends overall are in our favor, ensembles look workable. Let’s make some magic happen.
  23. BooneWX
    Saturday remains interesting at this juncture. We certainly will need some help but when do we not?

    Very tiny flurries flying here in Caldwell Co this evening.
