How did you manage this go round?
-
I will say as Ward has noted even the valleys will get in on snow with this setup. I think several people could be surprised.
-
Well im like in Central Haywood but im at 3500 feet right along Crabtree mountain and Big Bald mountain. We do much better on this setup coming in. As were Maggie valley and the Balsams do a lot better on a wsw trajectory which that will not be the case this time around. The snow bands setup in the mountains like the bands up in the Great Lakes and its very hard to nail down a specific area because we have so many little micro climates.
-
Like a lot of you. I think some of these most favored areas will see 1 to 2 feet of snow from this prolonged upslope event. This is going to be a treat for sure.
-
The GFS continues to lead the way in something big for us temp wise. It has been rock steady bringing in true arctic air. The EURO has been abysmal so far.
-
Yep thats what I have been thinking Ward. This is going to be a major event for us.
-
The euro took a huge step towards the GFS this morning. Still not there with the cold air but it doesn't bury a trough in the SW which is a known bias. This mornings GFS just keeps hammering the coldest air of the season towards us in about 6 to 7 days. It actually moves the trough further east over us. That air mass would definitely give us lowes below zero and highs in the single digits. Impressive and something we have not seen in years.

-
Nice. Ive picked up maybe another half inch or so.
-
Light mix here but we have shot up to 31 degrees.
-
The GFS is bringing the hammer down for the 7 to 10 day temps. Its amazing how different the GFS and EURO are in that time frame.
-
Looking at the GFS and the NAM both still look very good for the upslope event starting after midnight Sunday night. Both those models want to really scour out the cold air quickly. So we will see.
-
Crazy how eerily still it is here. Just a slight breeze and under clear skies. Reminds me of just a regular night.
-
Yeah I think you may be right Joe. This system is different.
-
Yeah the wind is dead still tonight.
-
Its crazy. We got up to like 37 degrees today also but with the snow pack, very little wind and virtually clear skies its like we are radiating like a beast. Which we do very well in those types of situations. Its just been a perfect storm for temps to nosedive tonight and fast at that.
-
Well with this flow snow its going to kind of hit all angles. I think its going to start out as a west flow then NW then more northerly as the event kind of wraps up towards the middle to end.
-
Boom another degree! Down to 21 degrees. Man I am super surprised by this.
-
Come join us in the water young man! Its glorious over here! Lol
-
Wow I am falling off a cliff. Another degree lost. Down to 22 in just the last 10 to 15 minutes. We are under partly cloudy skies here so that has helped tremendously for temps diving off the cliff.
-
Another one down! Wow unbelievable! Down to 23 degrees!
-
Yeah this upslope event is going to be one of the best in years if the models continue to trend the way they have been.
-
Down another degree! We are under mostly cloudy skies currently with some stars peeking through. That might be the best thing. Seems like im losing a degree every 30 to 45 minutes.
-
Dang I just dropped another 2 degrees down to 25 degrees now... Im impressed so far. Everything is frozen up solid. Maybe the Euro was onto something.
-
Temp has actually dropped to 27 tonight. Im surprised because I thought we might hover right at freezing then go north of that when precipitation starts back.
