3rd Annual Snow Thread for the Mountains

[Met1985]

Wlos seems to think its worth watching..... Ill gladly take what we can get. No complaints here i only care about watching it fall.

lol oh I enjoy it also just would like more of it. We will get our due.

[South_MountainWX]

Yeah met im right there with ya, would definitely enjoy more snow. Them 36in bases in Newland 09-10 spoiled me... Lol

[Met1985]

Looks like we may have an advisory issued for us for tonight through tomorrow. GSP has increased our pops substantial for tonight and tomorrow for snow. I'll go with 1 to 3 inches.

Here was my map I posted on FB this AM around 6:30.  I think we see a few flakes make it into the valleys... similar to Monday but with a smaller window for flakes.  I will be in Maggie tomorrow morning so I am looking forward to this.  12z 4km NAM looks pretty solid with a tad bit of backside development along the escarpment while 850mb temps are below 0c.  Might have to extend my dusting just a hair east, most have a good shot around WNC tomorrow AM of seeing flakes though imo.

Yeah man thanks I most likely will with the recent trend on NAM.

was hoping this would be a little better than Monday not less.  jeeez what to do to get a couple of inches on the ground. 

[WxBlue]

Colder ground could help up even more for tomorrow vs. this past Monday. I could see us getting an inch again, but I wouldn't take the over.

[South_MountainWX]

Yeah guys i agree the colder ground temps will help the accumulation.

[Met1985]

Well this event is drying up fast. This looks pathetic pretty much. I would be very surprised is anyone gets over 2 inches at all. There is just no moisture.

I agree. My humidity is still only 31% with a dp of 13.2. That's a lot of dry air to overcome.

Yeah I really do not like this set up. The front is coming down from the north also and most of the moisture is going to dry up as it drops south.

[SnoJoe]

As expected, the mountains ate this system alive. Poof. Light flurries, windy, temp down to 25.4 and dropping. This is getting really old.

lol was just going to post we have some flurries and is windy. Pretty pathetic. Our chances will come I believe at least once. I think heading into the end of February and into March we will have some good chances.

-SN here in Maggie Valley

I don't mean to be negative but this whole winter has been 10 days from now or the end of the month or next month, guys I can't believe even here in the mountains winter has sucked big time plus we are running out of time.  Grant you we've seen our biggest snows in March and a few in April but the way this winter is going those months this year will be in the 70's of which I hope at that time.  Just really a terrible winter for snow lovers.   

[Met1985]

Snowing harder know in waynesville. Snow blowing on the road.

[Met1985]

Moderate snow know.

[Met1985]

Still snowing moderately.

[Hvward]

4km NAM was insistent on that band redeveloping over WNC but that just didn't happen. Oh well on to the next... whenever that may be.

lol yeah just pathetic. I do like our chances towards the end of the month though.

[AirNelson39]

Didn't even see a single flake in Boone, pretty big bust when even Ray is calling for a dusting to an inch. What a sad, sad winter.

Yeah it is. We are sitting at 18.5 inches and that is way below average. We can still make up ground though.

it's gonna take at least a couple gulf storms. The smokies picked up some snow. I should have taken a pic when I was at fontana lake today.

Oh man it is beautiful out there when is snows. I have a friend who has a boat house out there. It gets pretty wicked out there sometimes. Yeah not sure we make it to normal but shoot a widespread storm would be nice.

[Met1985]

Boy it is going to be a cold night tonight. Already down to 17 degrees.

[SnoJoe]

Nice inversion this morning. After a low of 13.5 I'm up to 26.4. Burnsville is at 12.2. Usually signals a nice, relatively warm day.

[Blue_Ridge_Escarpment]

Nice, warm 10 degrees

[Met1985]

Very cold morning of 6 degrees but a quick warm up on the way.

[SnoJoe]

Nice "balmy" morning here with a temp of 35.2. It's around 20 in the valley. I'm ready for a nice mid 50's day. I'm in the "if it's not going to snow, it might as well be warm" camp this late in the season.
