EmersonGA Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 My buddy up on Frosty Mountain now reporting 32° but the snow has slowed up a lot. He lives on Frosty? I've been up there a few times and never seen anything but an old firetower slab. I know of one cabin close to it. Cool that it's snowing though. I've camped around there on some wild nights.

dsaur Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Got quite chilly out. Temp 43 feels like the low 30's. Yeah I've had some amazing wind gusts today. Blows that 43 right through you. If it were in the 30's I'd be thinking flurries with the patches of heavy drizzle that go by from time to time. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gastonwxman Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I think the winds out here are even stronger than they were when the sun was setting. Now down to 46. I can hear several snaps of small branches all around me and a constant pounding noise against the side of my house (I have siding). Something has obviously came loose and now the winds are making it worse. Going to be fun clearing away whatever is scattered tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psalm 148:8 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 From BMX this morning....definitely something to watch....as Foothills mentioned, the GFS has not been to shabby at picking up on these systems lately.....

Kinda the same from FFC OPERATIONAL GFS TRYING TO DEVELOP A SFC LOW ACROSS TX AND THEN BRING IT ACROSS THE GULF COAST STATES WHILE ECMWF AND GFS ENSEMBLES HAVE MORE OF AN OPEN-WAVE...NORTHERN U.S. TRACK.

FallsLake Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I love these lows. Two snows in two weeks! What torch. I have over 2 inches on the ground and the temp is 19 degrees! There's no torch but we are is an overall warm pattern. You saw those images of the ski resorts; they get snow, can make snow, but then it melts. Here is day 7 on the 6z GFS: **Terrible** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beanskip Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 According to the 6z GFS, the 10m 0z line dips over my head on Dec. 12. Then, it doesn't get south of me through the rest of the run! That's 12 more days! I wonder when was the last time a model has depicted that type of warmth in December? I'm afraid we all need to get our arms around the reality that this pattern might not EVER change and if it does, it's going to be sometime in January. One thing I've learned about these pattern changes is when they finally start showing up in the Day 10+ range, there is usually a week or two delay. And we haven't even gotten the pattern change (if there is one) to show up yet! What an ugly, ugly pattern..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea that system on the 00z next week really blows up with moisture once it hits SC/NC. Might have to invest in a boat if that comes to pass.

Local Yokel Wx Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Trace - dusting of snow at work in Clyde, NC. Dusting was only on dirt surfaces where it freezed much faster. Nothing on roads. Looking twd Asheville and points NW, they seemed to pick up an inch or more as most above 4k ft is white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CandymanColumbusGA Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 It's certainly interesting to see the GFS vs everyone else this morning in regards to the cut-off low next Thursday, that includes the GFS Ensemble. With the way the season has gone, and the recent track record of the GFS and it sniffing out these cut-off lows, I'm definitely taking note and will watch this unfold closely over the next few days. It's also funny to see the EURO with a big ole ridge building at hour 180 from last night's run... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 31.2 this morning at the homestead. Woke up to mostly sunny skies and a heavy frost on the cars this AM. Had to break out the ice scraper for the first time today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmersonGA Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I saw Leconte reported 6" of new snow and a low of 7 degrees. I tried taking my wife and son on a hike out the the Jumpoff near Leconte last week. We got turned back by snow and ice on the trail. Any part of the trail on the north side of Stateline Ridge was very icy still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, once Fide pointed that out some runs back I've been hoping it would stay on the model. Might be what gets us well going forward. Get a more southern track established and get us in the energy part of the game storm after storm.
