Depends on the rate in which the snow falls, too. But I don't think it's really been above normal that much since the end of summer. We had a mild fall.

  • For WNC for December 1-9, temps running a whopping 10 degrees above normal. Nothing nearly so mild for the rest of the month.

GUYS, after well ABOVE normal temps, soil temps will melt everything after a few hours. This will eat away accumulations before and after.

Maybe if your one of the lucky ones who gets a foot, you could cool the soil temps down enough to sustain 6 inches for two days or so.

For the love of God I hope you're trolling...if not just please stop.

Is this "tongue in cheek?" It's hard to detect the sarcasm in written form sometimes.

We've debated the soil temps issue in previous years, but I'm too lazy to go back and find the posts to link to.

Out of Morristown per the discussion:

That's unusual for them to go out on a limb like that. They're usually very conservative.

Try Blacksburg if your looking for conservative...

The weak front really never makes it to the coast...as both the European model (ecmwf)

and GFS have a storm riding northeast along it for the beginning of

next week. Not enough agreement for anything more than slight chance

probability of precipitation. Even if this system does affect our region...doesn't look like

the pattern will favor enough cold air for snow...would mostly be

just a chilly rain.

Unless they know something we (and Blacksburg) doesn't?

They doesn't know nothing different than no other WFO.

I am guilty of playing the "MRX is too conservative" card, but truth be told, they are typically quite accurate. Many of us were honking for increased snow totals ahead of Sandy, yet MRX remained relatively conservative for totals in valley locations. Good for them; very few places below 2,500 ft saw more than a trace. Time to give it a rest.
