  1. @Carvers Gap while the data set is limited..a big question now is why 2 of the last 3 cycles of QBO has featured a double dominant Westerlies (very little descending propagation of the Easterlies).
  2. Basically, as more studies are being conducted (we understand very little of the exact why's/how's everything is linked), the number reading (+/-) doesn't mean exactly what it was thought to mean per se. A strong -QBO doesn't necessarily translate to cold East. The reading can be misleading..while we are currently at a +10..we are actually in a QBOE descending phase...Easterlies are beginning to work their way down thru the atmosphere. In last couple years there is strong evidence that depending how the whole column is moving (QBOE des/asc..QBOW asc/des), it can amplify or mute the effects of the MJO. Since we are currently in QBOE des...it should amply whatever phase the MJO is in. If we were in QBOW...even if the MJO was moving into the cold phases, it would not have as much effect as what we would think here. Everything is linked (solar flares/wind has an effect on QBO...which it's multi phases effects how the MJO reacts downstream...and so on)...Top-Down approach. One day we may be able to hopefully tie all the links together.
  3. Agree with the microclimates..what makes being a weather enthusiast here that much more interesting. Something starting to notice is how this setup currently is hitting around Gatlinburg, is beginning to back to the SW..could help for mby if it can make the bend along the Blount/Monroe line
  4. Same here..snowed most day but would melt off during any of the breaks..hill behind my house is about 150' or so higher...ground still white (little melting all day). Flakes now are small...figure DGZ is barely saturated enough.
  5. Radar hasn't been showing anything here, so haven't looked outside since sundown. Light snow falling now, with dusting on elevated surfaces again.
  6. Woke up to a surprise from MRX...added to the WWA (even tho I'm not quite sure of the logic behind the expansion). As far as winter weather headlines...added Monroe and the mountain zone of Polk County to the advisory for consistency with FFC as well as increased snow totals in those areas.
  7. And this evening's GEFS lucky bingo snowmaggedon lottery number is........G12. And thanks for playing everyone.
  8. Something interesting, my area (Tellico) usually does very poorly in NWSF events (Skyway is completely different story) due to the topography here (town almost sits in a bowl). MRX very rarely puts more than .5" on their maps for here due to this. So for them to go with 1"-2", it tells me they are currently expecting an unusually higher end NWSF event.
  9. Considering it's coming from MRX, The CMC, ECMWF, and some ensemble members suggest surface low pressure development in the Gulf and progression to our south and east Saturday into Sunday. If this occurs, the potential exists for widespread, and potentially impactful, snowfall accumulation across the area.
  10. Pic of the Cherokee National Forest above Tellico this afternoon
  11. 0z GEFS doesn't agree with it..LA/C MS accum is from tonight..rest is the system during that time from..nice 2" mean back thru AL
  12. 0z GFS still had the energy, just shoved it to Cuba
  13. 0z HRRR (vs current reports/radar)....NWS Jackson, Ms had to expand their WSW..WWA expanded across N. MS as well..said speed of system was quicker than anticipated. Alot of sleet reports across N. Al
  14. As we get closer...modeling is slowly ticking upwards for southern middle TN/plateau..may squeeze out an inch from it. 0z RGEM picking up on the increase in moisture
  15. Considering it's 7 days out...fairly decent agreement at 500 with placement between GFS/CMC at 12/18z..Euro may be hanging the energy back in the SW..just something to watch.
  16. 12z CMC had something as well during that timeframe
  17. Yeah..day 8/10 timeframe keeps popping up on various members last few runs. 18z GEFS had more variability among the members for that time roughly
  18. Not a bad looking snow mean for the entire forum on the 12z GEFS
  19. Hopefully you guys can squeeze a little more out tomorrow and maybe won't be too long for the next system
  20. Skyway has turned into a skating rink here
  21. Better late than never lol...finally have wet flurries falling with a temp of 32.4...only about 20hrs behind schedule.
