Yeah the wind here has been steadily climbing all evening into tonight. Not real exciting about tonight.

Power is out at my house. I noticed there are Power outages showing up already.

Meh don't get that vested. Yeah we all want snow. Heck I'd give my left kidney for another superstorm like 1993. But we still have several weeks. I mean I really do think we may have something brewing next week.

I'll put it like this. It's weather. Can we control it? This is a hobby and if you can't handle it then take a break. Mother nature doesn't give two shits what you want or how you feel... Just plain and simple. If this current pattern is making you angry then I suggest you take a break from it because there's nothing we can do but look outside and see what it's doing. And yeah it can still snow in March lol.

If we do have a ridge then that means our spring will be delayed. I'm afraid we are in a decade long bad winter pattern or could be several other variables but I personally am not ready to write winter off just yet. I've as well seen forecasters predict a great February pattern. So who knows. You know these long range forecasts are hard to nail down.

It's only January 8th. I've seen several winter's we're we score big in February. Not saying we will have to wait that long but February is a winter month that I think people have forgotten.

Very impressive. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

I wouldn't worry. Still a lot of adjustments that are going to be made.

Yeah there are already several closures and several that are on a two hour delay here in WNC.

Also the moisture coming from the gulf looks very impressive. I'm afraid that there are going to be a lot of power outages coming by tomorrow morning especially with the high winds and possibly embedded storms.

Euro Weeklies look for the end of January and first of February.

I think we are in a good position. We will have the cold and some moisture to work with next week. Things will hit right.

This isn't a bad look at this timeframe. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

Yeah the wind has already started gusting here.

Down to 38 here but I suck at CAD. looking forward to the tornadoes lol.

Flood watch issued for just about everyone in the mountains.

Looks like a NINA pattern.

Yeah I think you are right. That and some high winds. Fun times.

A beautiful cold morning with a low of 18.

The gfs changes every 6 hours also... I'm riding the Euro and eps.

Yeah this is a beast of a system. Too bad it ain't going to be a blizzard.
