H2O Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 i dunno... that map shows that the thicknesses are cold enough for it to LOOK LIKE snow. Even the 850-700 thickness hovers around 152 at 90. Yes, its October. yes 2M temps are in the 40s. But still, looks kinda cool. You are falling into that trap of if you stare at it long enough you will also see unicorns and glitter too.

Avdave Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 And the euro went back to the GFS from yesterday. All we have is a coastal rain. If any higher elev. squeeze out a flake then it is a bonus. You are going to the mountains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catoctin wx Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 btw Ian, Elliot in the Morning was talking about the CWG this morning and how you are calling for snow this weekend. He was getting excited, even referencing the Euro, until Diane corrected him that it was mainly a threat for the mountains west of the city.

If any higher elev. squeeze out a flake then it is a bonus. Yep that's pretty much it, the euro went to the GFS and the latter went towards the old Euro but not as amped or as cold. I'm not sure where the Releigh maps get their snow as the soundings for DC show the temps in the lowest 5000 ft above freezing. that's not a good snow profile and certainly not one that would give you an accumulation.

mappy Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Anyways, back to the wx I see the GFS moved west, while the Euro shifted east. I'd assume a combo of the two would be a safe bet on what to expect (cold tropical rain) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 It may be worth the drive to skyline depending on timing. I was planning on hiking on Sat with my son but that looks to be off the table. If I wake up early and there is snow on the webcams then it's probably worth it. Put on the ski gear and hike stoney man in the snow? Sounds like a good idea to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Why do we want it to snow now? It won't stick unless we got a tremendously heavy snow rate. Then all the trees would be damaged. It won't last. I'd rather get the leaves down, get the ground cold, then bring on the snow. Anyway, looks like the GFS is coming around. This reminds me of the Christmas snow. Seems like we are heading back toward the early Euro solutions (Midlo posted a snow map on Oct. 21 - 180 hours). I wonder if we end up back at that solution. Whatever. I hope this is a good sign for the winter. I remember distictly that Halloween weekend was cold and snowy (at least on the west side of the Apps) in 1995.

I remember distictly that Halloween weekend was cold and snowy (at least on the west side of the Apps) in 1995. Halloween itself was actually above normal, but there was a strong cold snap following what appears to be a highly dynamic system in the Nov 4-10 range. Looking at the temp anomaly maps... wow that was a highly-amplified (and progressive) pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
