Met1985 Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 This past November was the best one ever for winter weather in my life. I don't think I'll forget my snow chase on Halloween night up to peak of Roan Mountain for awhile yeah I am sure that was awsome. We had a great snow up here also.

NCSNOW Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 When was the last up slope snowfall yall had? Seems like all of Dec has been void. I'd just settle for a true cold front to come sweeping through with a NW wind. It's got to be tough on the slopes right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing; December has been a monumental drought for NW flow snow. Even though NW flow only produces flizzards in my neck of the woods; at least that is/was winter weather you could always count on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are just waiting patiently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Marion started a nice thread about the arctic blast coming in but wanted to touch on it specifically for the mountains. First I think we have a chance for some snow tomorrow night into early Monday. A think it will be light but a possibility of seeing at least a dusting in th favored upslope areas. It will be cold Monday then a slight moderation until we get to mid week when the hammer drops. I think as it looks right know we could easily see sub zero temps and dangerous wind chills of as low as negative 15 degrees. This will be interesting to watch unfold as we get closer to mid week.

Sorry I haven't checked in with you guys in recent days...but yes, the hammer is going to be dropped down on the North Carolina Mountains starting Wednesday...that will likely be a day stuck in the 20's and 30th with sharply dropping temps by the afternoon...by Thursday morning it should be below zero for most everyone. I wouldn't even rule out zero in Asheville itself. Man, I thought last year was amazing, to potentially have this a second consecutive year is crazy stuff!

Marion_NC_WX Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Also...I must add that today's Euro (12z) is doing a better job at holding the low level cold in tact through at least Saturday. I think the GFS is moderating things a bit too quick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is looking very impressive. I would not be surprised to see temps drop In to the teens and single digits through the afternoon like it did last year. This is going to be a big danger to people outside with exposed skin I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machetemoonlight Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 damn, no snow even for the higher elevations? can someone give me a brief explanation why.. why is this arctic front not producing normal orographic type snow here.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 damn, no snow even for the higher elevations? can someone give me a brief explanation why.. why is this arctic front not producing normal orographic type snow here.. we might have some but the air is extremely dry and deepened on the trajectory of the wind also. If we have more of a north south wind then we will not have great lift at all. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Looks like a few NWF flakes are possible tonight into tomorrow per NAM and 4km NAM especially for those on the TN border. Will be nice to have the possibility of seeing flakes again. It seems like it has been forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a fun night for your elevation. I would think a stray flake or maybe a brief shower is possible in the valleys, but I bet it wouldn't stick.

Yeah Met just got on here to post about the little clipper behind the front. Should give the high mountains at least a dusting maybe a flurry or 2 makes it into the valley. Should be interesting.
