I'm assuming some sort of derivative of the NAM based on your later statement? Yes, I'm excited for the Euro. It's been so consistent I don't see it changing all that much. I believe it is another high res short term model run off of NAM data, not 100% sure though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well into the .75 - 1.00 inch range for Asheville, and all of the NC mountains make it above the .75 mark. The GFS had around .66 inches for AVL and had a very steep cutoff into the northern mountains (Madison and Haywood didn't even get .5 inches).

The whole OP GFS just seemed off to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue_Ridge_Escarpment Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Looks like the 1.00-1.25 even makes it to the AVL airport, southern foothills, and Hickory area. Much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacobr57 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 The GEFS panel clown maps look very very good. The lowest panel is 5 inches for Asheville and the highest is a foot. Most are around 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxBlue Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Euro is still the same for Asheville. 13 inches of snow this time around assuming 10:1 ration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you post the map? Glad to hear it held. So now we have solid runs from the HIRES NAM, the GEFS, the CMC, and the Euro. I think we're in good shape.

Easily the most epic short range run of winter. Of course, totals are likely lower for few areas since Euro take ice pellets and freezing rain into snow totals.

Met1985 Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Lol the GFS looks horrible for WNC. So many changes so close to the event that it is laughable. The Euro is going to own this storm I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSP NWS has dropped AVL to 5.2 on their snowfall forecast, but then WPC says this...8TO 10 INCHES OF SNOW FROM AVL/GSP TO ROA/LYH/CHO AND JUST SOUTH OF IAD/DCA WITH A POSSIBLE FOOT NEAR SWRN NC/NWRN SC. WPC CONTINUED THE COMPROMISE OF THE GFS/ECMWF/UKMET WITH SUPPORT FROM THE SREF MEAN FOR THE BEGINNING OF A CLASSIC EAST COAST WINTER STORM. So........................ who knows.

The Euro is going to own this storm I believe. I think the Euro had this storm what 10 days ago and still seems to be right on plus the mean for AVL is 10 inches. this will be all snow for the mtns. with no ice or sleet mixing in so I don't know what folks are looking at here. I say lets sit back now and watch and enjoy a beautiful snowstorm and when all is said and done we'll see what the accumulations are. heck it looks like its going to snow forever and heavy unless its the ratio thing GSP is looking at. but then again during a storm they will keep raising the snow totals during the event.

buncombe Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I was very surprised to see that for my point location in North Asheville NWS now has forecast snow totals in a range from 3 to 7 inches for the entire storm. I haven't looked at latest GFS though - I saw the Euro and thought all was still good . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirNelson39 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Craziest thing I've ever seen in Boone this morning. Woke up to .5" of snow near the mall in Boone with roads white, drove 1 mile to ASU campus and not a thing and roads dry as a bone.

WNC_Fort Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 It was snowing in Old Fort around 4 O'clock. It isn't doing anything anymore. Anyone concerned that the QPF is lower on everything but the Euro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Thanks westmc. Well the trend is not our friend for sure. Looks like my storm total know according to the GSP snow map I only 3 inches. Lol that is what I got yesterday. Meh trying not to read into each model run and just see what happens.
