HKY18 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 This has been a really interesting event to watch unfold. It's funny how the entire nature of the storm has shifted from one of overrunning to an actual low coming through the area and yet the totals have been relatively consistent. I've never seen the models give the area major snowfall with two possible solutions dumping on us, perfect timing though. Been a wild week of swings, but a consensus is being reached finally.

Met1985 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Boy oh boy are people this morning going to love the trends of the models. The GFS trended much better for us. Giving large part of WNC 6 to close to a foot of snow in many of the mountain areas. Wow I am really liking these trends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeGold Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Some radar returns starting to show up locally so expect some snow to start in next couple of hours. NWS starting to get more onboard with this next storm. They hit the blue ridge pretty well. I'm sticking with 8" locally but might up it to 8 to 12" if the wetter trend in the models continues with the 12Z runs. Looking at the thermal profiles..on the warm side with snow growth region very high in the clouds so ratios probably no better than 10 to 1 or so.

Car is dusted over. A nice precursor for the big snow later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weather observer up there hopes not-as they will be completely stranded if that happens! I hope to be up top Saturday morning-or as close to the top as I can drive my car-then walk in the rest of the way if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Snow know is coming down at a more moderate pace. Flake size has increased also. Cars are covered along with the roof of the house and the driveway is turning white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
