3rd Annual Snow Thread for the Mountains

[Met1985]

If I got the snow that all these advisories have called for this year it would've been a great winter.

lol I know! We will see if the cold air can get in here quick enough.

[Met1985]

To me it seems like the cold air is pretty good ahead of the moisture but I think the mountains will slow things down. Will be a wait and see game.

it feels like may outside. It's in the 60's!

[SnoJoe]

Temp down to 37.6 here. I think temps are going to fine but will we have the moisture to work with. It sure is having a hard time getting into the mountains.

Wow! It's on it's way. We dropped 12 degrees since 5 am.

[Met1985]

Lol just looked at the temp outside. Um not 60's here. We are down to 37 degrees already!

Ray mentioned a 20 degree drop on Snake Mountain in 15 minutes ! That's a serious cold front.

 

He also backed way off on his sleet/snow totals as well.

wow that's crazy. Something you would see in the plains.

[Met1985]

Radar looks pathetic. Cold air not making it in.

[AirNelson39]

Yep, what a joke. We were at 58 degrees when our WWA went into affect and we haven't even dropped below 36. I doubt we see a single flake or IP from this joke of an event. They even did an early dismissal for schools, FOR A FLIPPING COLD FRONT! We must have a person from Key a West FL making school decisions around here, it's pathetic.

They did the same here, let them out at 10:30. They dismissed Asheville city early and it's still 40 degrees.

 

Looking at temps, I could only find two stations in all of WNC that are close to freezing. 

 

I'm really starting to wonder if that's it for this winter.

we are about 34 at the house and no I think we may have a few more events but I am ready for spring.

[Met1985]

We are getting some wrap around moisture in know. Seems to be a mix.

[Met1985]

Have have all snow!! Finally!

[SnoJoe]

Have have all snow!! Finally!

 

 

Temps have crashed to 18.9 and we're getting our heaviest snow now....AFTER the advisory has expired. There will be some black ice issues in the morning.

lol same here. Temp is down to 22 degrees with a dusting and still snowing. Oh the cols air is just 12 hours behind.

[Met1985]

We are getting some of the best snow all day right know.

[Met1985]

A cold morning out. A low of 13 degrees with a tenth of an inch of snow. Lind live winter!

Never saw any snow in Asheville.

Man it has rough for you guys this year. Really for everyone on the mountains. I still have hope for the next month.

well we did have 13 inches this winter which isn't bad at all but we were so close to having a couple of good snowstorms and missed out on them, very disappointed a couple of times and now Robert thinks after next week a big cut off low will dump on someone in the southeast a pretty good paste job. With our luck it will be Virginia and Kentucky again just north of us and we'll get a cold rain at 35.   Let's hope not.

Yeah I'm hoping for a good paste job. We are sitting at 32 inches for the year but still below normal.

[Met1985]

Fellas should we start the spring/summer thread yet guys.

[franklin NCwx]

wait till mid April. Or at least until we can get beyond freezing temperatures.

[Met1985]

sounds good.

[Hvward]

18z GFS looks completely different at 5h with the hp weaker and a more northern track.  So there's that...  I would just like to see one more snowfall before it is all said and done but that is probably wish casting.  Who knows?

[franklin NCwx]

Nice looking pattern still there after mid month.

[SnoJoe]

Did you people quit ?

[Met1985]

Did you people quit ?

lol just patiently waiting the return of winter Joe!
