    Still not sure what to think about this storm. Model trends looked good day for my neck of the woods in Burke but good lord I can’t even count how many times this same setup has burnt me in WNC.

    As someone who grew up in the immediate Lee, this system is not the system you want to see. Downsloping can be a killer. With that said, not trying to be pessimistic for those living in those regions, just trying to spare you the heartache I’ve had through the years lol edit: but being in Marion, Lenoir etc won’t be as bad in this scenario than say a location like Mt. Airy. Central foothills should be just close enough to the best dynamics to help.

    HKY has been an interesting one to watch today, since it’s the closest airport to my location in Burke. If memory serves me right, it was barely over two this morning with more members under the mean that a above it - then it went a little over 3 this afternoon with about a 50/50 split and now 4+ and more members at or above 4. Exciting trends for sure! I wonder if the HKY area could be the sweet spot for being close enough to the upper low for best dynamics but just far enough from the warm air advection to stay snow....

    A lot of people will be happy with that run!

    Love it! Got my tempest set up last week and I’m not sure what I’ve been doing this whole time without a dedicated backyard station. Just really hoping we get a good winter storm soon so I can be glued to the DP and wet bulb readings for hours on end.

    Got a tempest weather station yesterday as a gift and couldn’t stand the thought of waiting until today to get it operational. Glad I did! I’ve always thought our neighborhood was a much cooler spot and I was able to confirm it. We bottomed out at 13.6 degrees while the closest other station dipped only to 17. On a side note, if any of you have a good or bad experience with station siting, let me know. I’ll never get a totally clean wind fetch at my location so I think I’m going to aim for 4-5 above ground with either PVC or a steel pipe. Thought about a roof mount but like the ground accessibility better.

    Little bit of snow and sleet here in Burke but just novelty stuff. Even more impressive was watching the 13 degree temperature drop in 20 min. What a front!

    Off topic but have any of you seen some of the totals coming out of upstate NY? 40+ in a few spots. Those rates had to be insane.
  9. BooneWX
    Dropping in to say congrats to all of you. Us southerners are living vicariously through you right now. Enjoy the historic storm! Absolutely absurd rates, can’t even imagine that type of snowfall.

    I think this could be a biggie for the eastern escarpment. The non talked about part of this storm is that precip never looks too tremendously heavy. That should help the accretion.

    39 here and dropping quick in Burke...

    Nam looks like a bit more ice for western NC down into the upstate since most areas are at .25+ with the model still showing freezing rain at hour 84. Colder air seemed a little deeper that run.

    Could be lights out for those of us in the foothills on Wednesday. GFS looked slightly colder, Canadian holds its ground as well.
  14. BooneWX
    Canadian had me so cold that it became a sleet storm in my location. Fingers crossed that’s the case because otherwise, it was lights out for most in wnc.
  15. BooneWX
    GFS sticks to its guns
  16. BooneWX
    Imo, Globals struggle with CAD. Tomorrow will be telling with the NAM firmly in range, even though it’ll tend to over do the cad slightly.
  17. BooneWX
    It might be wishful thinking but maybe the models are playing catch up with limited air craft data chipping in
  18. BooneWX
    Euro looked like a step in the right direction.
  19. BooneWX
    *hyperventilates* lets go fellas!!!
  20. BooneWX
    Models are so frustratingly close to a legit storm for the cad region Tuesday night-Wednesday. Cold Canadian hp funneling air down the apps and a storm signal but alas...it’s too weak and quick moving.
  21. BooneWX
    A lot of the models seem to have cold air around and some sort of storm signal for sometime next week, and after last year, I guess that’s all we can ask for
  22. BooneWX
    That solution was lights out through Christmas anywhere west of Charlotte
  23. BooneWX
    Pretty accurate run when you look at that warm nose changing it all back to rain as it departs
  24. BooneWX
    If anyone is getting golf clubs for Christmas, you’ll really love the temp outlook for the holiday.
  25. BooneWX
    Hey, somebody has to throw those of us between 1-2k ft a bone every now and then. Fingers crossed!
