jacobr57 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Euro gives 2-3 for most mtn locations with 4-5 for the higher peaks near the border. Gfs gives 2-3 for the sw mtns only. Nice warm up next week would be nice if it was dry. Have not enjoyed a dry warm stretch of a couple weeks in over a year. Winter comes back per ensembles after day 10. Anything interesting on the ensembles past day 10, or just cold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franklin NCwx Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Anything interesting on the ensembles past day 10, or just cold?I have not looked at it that close. General ridge out west -ao and nao combo with a trough in the east. Maybe we can get a big march or April paste bomb this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 I just want to thank all you guys. All the board members are great, but I love our mountain crew. We all get along, and we have several really knowledgeable posters, Hurricane Tracker, Mike Gold, Franklin NCwx, and many more. There is not one of you that don't offer some sort of positive contribution. I enjoy my old connections with Don, Strongwx, and all the new people and everyone in between. Whoever came up with the mountain thread idea is a genius. ... And this winter has not been perfect, but we have had really cold weather and more or less persistent cold, one big snow, and we still have March. So, anyway. Thanks, I appreciate you guys. ... and edited to add... what a BEAUTIFUL winter day. 100% agree! We have a great group and some really knowledgeable poster and we all get along really well. I decided after last years mountain thread was such a hit to kind of make it a tradition from know on to make a winter mountain thread so we could all keep our storms and our little snows confined to one thread so we could just look back and check states and pics. But this thread would be nothing if not for all of you who post here. This thread is all about the mountain and foothill folk and I am glad to be apart of this board also! Thank you all.

Man I just have a feeling we are going to have a big March this year. This upcoming system looks rather good for most of the mountains. The GFS looks ok and the NAM looks really good for the boarder counties. We probably see a winter storm watch issued tonight ot tomorrow morning. Also good to hear winter will be making another return soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you all.Yes, its nice to have a thread that's not heavily moderated so we can ask questions and make observations specific to our microclimate. Thanks Met1985!This was my first time really watching a storm roll in and it was awesome to have other people interested to discuss it with. Looking forward to the next one (tomorrow maybe?!)

Met1985 Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 Was quite cold this morning with a low of 6 degrees. Snowpack does wonders for the temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoJoe Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Is the clipper a little head of schedule? Looks a little faster than what was modeled, but what do I know. Rays weather is going with 3 to 6 for me. If I get 6 that'll be more than this last storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franklin NCwx Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Latest sref was 2" for the mean here. Euro and it's ensembles are 2.5-3. Border areas should get 6"+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavarreDon Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Looks like things are getting back to normal in the Mnts. The Valley folk will be hoping for a inch while the ridgetop fellas will be gobbling it up. Good luck guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxBlue Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 That clipper look like it mean business on satellite... good luck to folks near the sky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Yeah I will be interested to see how far south this clipper tracks. Seems that its already going farther south then modeled. It rare that we have an event with snowfall on the ground so that should help temps especially since we have a lot of evap. cooling taking place today. These factors make this somewhat unique and I think we might get a little more then a dusting in the valley. I will be watching water vapor to see which low is dominate.

Blue_Ridge_Escarpment Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I'm sure baseball guys here wouldn't want to see another inch of snow I saw yesterday they were clearing snow off the baseball field. The weekend series has already been cancelled. Asheville proper looks good for half inch to an inch assuming BL aren't an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Down to 36.4 here. Amazing at the melt off today with a high of 44 and strong sunshine. Clouds rolled in about 3 but the temp really dropped at sunset. Here's to hoping for a surprise tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Ridge_Escarpment Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I'm beginning to wonder if Asheville will see anything but liquid. Temp at UNCA is 43.9 and precip knocking on the back door. Maybe some wet flakes on the back end? We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 My sis is planning to drive from Atlanta to Asheville tomorrow. Does anyone think she could encounter bad roads getting there? Should she not go tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreDon Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 My sis is planning to drive from Atlanta to Asheville tomorrow. Does anyone think she could encounter bad roads getting there? Should she not go tomorrow? Larry, if she comes up 85-25-26 she should be fine. I wouldn't go the 985-441-74 route as she would have to cross both Cowee Mnt & Balsam Gap. Both of those could be snowy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Ridge_Escarpment Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Man this clipper is being thrown into the shredder coming through East Tennessee, and temps are still 43 in Asheville. Not looking good for anyone outside of immediate TN border counties who MAY squeeze out inch or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
