John1122 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 And the Winter Storm Watches have been issued by MRX. 3-6 for the Plateau and Northeastern Valley counties. 5-10 for MRX SW VA counties, and 6-12 for the Eastern Mtn counties. Higher amounts at higher elevations. The watches run from Sunday morning til Monday evening for all areas as of now. MRX says 0-3 inches for the Central Valley and Southern Plateau and Valley counties. I expect a Snow Advisory to be issued for those areas tomorrow evening if everything still looks on track.

Yea, kinda wonder why GSP didn't go with a Winter Storm Watch too (at least for the northern Mountains). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that maybe they are waiting for one more shift before potential watches go up? I would expect pretty severe winter conditions to transpire over their NC Mtn counties and their WSW criteria is actually less than MRX's unless I am mistaken.

I would expect pretty severe winter conditions to transpire over their NC Mtn counties and their WSW criteria is actually less than MRX's unless I am mistaken. Their afternoon discussion said "winter weather advisories", which implies just a couple inches of snow. I can understand being a little conservative at 48-hours out, but I think the potential is there for much more than just a few inches. They also mentioned the need to wait one more shift. I suspect the overnight shift will make a decision based on the 00Z runs and how consistent they are with respect to today's 12Z run. Even then, they may still decide to go with an advisory...

It's possible, but that is extremely rare. Part of their mission is to warn and protect life and property. The watches are designed as a heads up. If you skip right over that phase, you may be setting yourself up for deep trouble... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last December 18th I had 3 inches on the ground before they even issued a Snow Advisory. 5 inches before they issued a heavy snow warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Ridge Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Just returned from Johnson City. TDOT is already pretreating I-26. Upon returning to Erwin, I noticed Main Street (TN 107) and Rock Creek Rd (TN 395) had also been pretreated. These roads are already a mess; now they are completely white. I'm off to Asheville for the evening; I'll be back later with some thoughts for the Tennesseeans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1bert1 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 thats where I lived. Right on 421/King Street, near intersection of 105 bypass at the bottom of Rich Mtn. I got lost going from Howards Knob on Fire Tower Road one Saturday which scared me. No map. And on "e" being the poor college student. My front door looks straight out at rich mountain.

DaculaWeather Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 From what I'm gathering from all of these AFD's, is there is going to be a pretty decent wrap around. I know earlier in the period there wasn't going to be much. So are the models trending toward more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Ridge Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I would have sworn that they didn't pre-treat when rain was forecast first but they were pre-treating roads here earlier today too. Given how close of a call this is, I can't say I blame them. If the air is just a bit colder than projected at the onset, it could fall as all snow. Also, I'm sure a flash freeze is a bit of a concern, given the strength of the cold air behind it and the borderline temperatures already in place.

I know I saw Rosie say she'd seen some. Tony no, i havent seen any yet so far this year. that is sort of odd as i would usually have at least seen some flurries by now. when rosie and dawsonwx were getting flurries i was downslope and dry had a virga storm here wed. evening - echos over head and you could see the fuzzy clouds in the lights. not a flake (and i strained my eyes from looking so hard ) thats why i hope to at least some some flakes this weekend. some runs have a little precip in here, others have me in the dreaded downsloping dry area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 18z NAM seems to be indicating a bit of wraparound for us in North Carolina, but still less than one-tenth of an inch of QPF, at best. But I don't have my hopes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems like a roller coaster, if that is what we get, would favor you. I like the way this cold is holding in..seems odd for Dec. 99/00 had a cold Dec, and I got a moderate icing early that year. I just think we'll see some cad effects this winter. Working in some rain between hard freezes sure ups the odds too. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T been quite a while since ne ga had a decent ice storm, and with these cold shots of air it wont take much for a little precip to override and give us something frozen (i hope). i am sort of thinking this year has a better shot at ice than the last few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoJoe Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Just something to throw out on the table, but alot of areas up here still have close to a foot of snow on the ground. If it rains up to a half an inch on it, then flash freezes it, then snows a foot on top of that............ we'll be in trouble! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strongwxnc Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Very good point Joe. That would be a utter mess. But would be neat snow slides!! Good luck man!

If it rains up to a half an inch on it, then flash freezes it, then snows a foot on top of that............ we'll be in trouble!
