Awesome man!

Would love to see any pictures you have. As I sit here with Brown Ground.

Here is to a NWSF season :drunk: for our crew!

Six inches on the ground and it continues to snow occasionally. One of the best early-season upslope events I know of. The mountains are absolutely beautiful. I love Appalachian winters.

This has to be close to official Blizzard Conditions on top of Beech Mtn. ( 1 inch of snow and 35 mph winds/ Right?) I swear Id be up there early next week if I could afford it and get off work. Another Foot on the way by then, with 1-2 feet on the ground. Snow Joe needs to report his totals in the upslope theread, haven't heard from him today and I'm anxious to see what he ends up with.

He has probably lost some toes from all that barefoot dancing he does when it snows :)

Rapid warming here...39, 40, and 41 across the yard. T

That is awesome!!!!!!!

When I was in college at UT Knoxville (waaaay back 73-77) we got a wild hair and decided to go see the snow at Newfound Gap one night. Now normally they had the road closed or at least required chains... but not this night. So we start up the road toward the top in my Volkswagon Karman Ghia I could go anywhere in it!). Absolutely the most beautiful snowfall I've ever seen. You couldn't tell where the trees started, it was all solid white. Never in my life have I seen as much snow as then. There wasn't ANYTHING that didn't have snow on it. We eventually made it all the way to Newfound Gap that night. They had plowed the parking lot somewhat, I just remember driving at a 45 degree angle with my right side tires up on the snow bank! This webcam view reminds me of that night, just not as much snow. I'll probably never get that chance again.

Sorry, off topic... smile.gif Just great memories, thanks for sharing!

For CHARLOTTE (CLT), the last time it was colder than this morning was January 17, 2009, when it hit 9 degrees. For all the talk about how cold it was last winter, it did not feature any single digit readings!!!

And this morning, was the coldest December morning in Charlotte since December 20, 2004, when it hit 12.

the 12Z Euro has high temps in the 20's Monday and Tuesday for BHM ATL GSP CLT and points north and west. Thats very impressive cold. It closes off 510m vortex over the NY/NJ tristate area. Another record cold breaker for sure. If winds subside enough then single digits are likely outside the mountains next week.

12Z GFS once again dashes hopes with the upcoming storm other than backside upslope.

That train left the station a while ago. The GFS does suggest a decent flurry SNSH threat here in north GA Sunday night/Monday morning. The upslope snow in e southern Apps will really crank, I am pretty sure I will be taking a 2 day road trip up to the Boone/Asheville area Sunday and Monday.

it is quite impressive, heck the last few days' cold has been impressive! any time highs are in the 30s or lower is cold. at least we are getting some good cold shots, now where is our moisture? lol

head to the mountains LOL. They will get a big upslope event again Sunday through Wednesday next week , per GFS and ECM. The Euro doesn't handle the qpf as well, but the flow should be good and the model has several lobes rotating around the giant 510 vortex, with extreme snow ratios going on, about the highest you'll ever see. A couple of feet of snow is likely in the preferred upslope regions of Tn, Ky and WV next week with the stationary vortex parked where it is.

For the rest of us, I'm very intrigued at this setup re: extreme cold potential. We almost never get that low of a vortex so close and for WVA, VA and NC I think this will be an extreme arctic outbreak if the 5H look of the Euro verifies. Already it has highs in the 20's for ATL to the piedmont of NC, and keeps driving in waves of advective cold on northerly winds. Usually, in NC models bust too warm when theres a due north surface wind in a outbreak. We don't get those often but when we do, 2m temps are quite a bit lower than progged. By the end of its run it warms up a little , and the flow relaxes enough to allow moisture from the west to come in, as rain.

The pending colder weather next week truly looks epic and I'm looking foward to it as it will be so rare.

However, I'm also looking forward to warmer weather for a short time because the current patter is just not condusive for snow around here. Warmer weather will hopefully allow for a pattern change to take place that could lead to a better setup for snow. On that same note it could also mean just plan old warm weather and we not get another good shot of cold for a while.

Next week's outbreak could be the coldest that it gets all Winter in the Southeast. I guess blanket statements like that could come back to bite me, but usually we can't expect see any colder air than whats progged anyway, in any Winter. However, if the NAO keeps ebbing back and forth in the neg. territory at such a low reading, we'll be dealing with an outbreak again most likely, however this NAO is progged off the charts to the extreme if I recall. AFter next week, the pattern imo, will likely get warmer and damper.

The new Euro Op has 500mb heights of over 582DM over central Greenland next Wednesday. I'm speechless- that is frikking amazing. No wonder we will be super cold here and it will probably last quite a while.

From KATL-FFC

Long term /Friday through Tuesday/...

next system to affect the County Warning Area still on target for this weekend. Both

GFS and European model (ecmwf) appear colder than the previous run...but at this

point will not make large changes...however will start to hedge a

bit on precipitation type Sunday. The onset of the precipitation appears to be delayed

by 12 hours and will delay mentioning any precipitation until Saturday.

Frontal passage will occur Saturday night with what appears to be some

substantial rainfall Saturday night across north Georgia ahead of the

front. Much colder air pours into the County Warning Area behind the front on

Sunday. There appears to be enough wrap around to produce

precipitation...low level thicknesses are indicating much of this could be

a mix of rain/snow Sunday afternoon...becoming all snow Sunday

evening before exiting the County Warning Area. Amounts...however look light and at

this point do not see a significant snowfall from this. But being in

the long term...this needs to be watched from run to run.

Why? The only thing it means is a higher heating bill. :bag: I'll go sit in timeout now.

The cold for next week does look very impressive though. :popcorn: Wonder if we'll set records here at GSP?
