A good sleet storm is fun

ICON juiced up QPF too but too warm for most

RDPS is a sleet storm here and has more precip than other models.

Hi Res Nam is a little more interesting and colder

NAM still not showing much

Some light rain/snow mix in Asheville. 35.

Anyone else miss the DGEX?

Its such a marginal setup with temps and precip, you are setting yourself up for disappointment if you expect more than a coating- inch. Of course that can still change but it can also change on the dry side too.

We need heavier precip. Light rates= brown ground

NAM is colder this run but its razor edge

I broke it down a bit further and researched winter storms since 2000 in December and this is what I could find for WNC- In December 2000 there was a 1-3 inch snow for most of the foothills west of 77 and mountains In December 2002 there was a nice CAD storm with 2-6 inches for most of the foothills and mountains In December 2003 there were multiple small events/icing events In December 2005 there were 2 icing events In December 2009 there was the big snowstorm on December 19 In December 2010 there were a couple small events and the big Christmas snow In December 2017 there was a big overrunning snow In December 2018 there was a big snow In December 2019 there was a light icing event So thats 9 out of 25 winters with at least small events. There were 4 big snowstorms in that time frame. December has definitely been feast or famine but over the past 25 years it has produced 3 of the 5 biggest snowstorms for WNC.

Round 2 on the Euro for Sat night but its mostly rain outside the mountains

Even though the amounts could be light, this is our best chance since last January.

Meh.

Euro looks similar, a little light on the precip though

Yup. Where's @BIG FROSTY

Another thing to note is this is less than 70 hours from start time.

I expect the Euro to show another nice scenario for NW NC and SW VA. That looks like the best spot to be for now

UK is close for a nice hit for a lot of 40 north folks

It was 90% cold rain

Yep this could be another cold rain for us and is trending that way for now..
