McDowell_Weather Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I like him fine, but it drives me up a freaking wall that he doesn't consider Asheville in the "mountains." Yeah, he's alright... Alot better than Bob Caldwell, some of y'all might get mad at that but Bob never got anything right he'd predict sunny and 40° when it was pouring snow.

BlueRidgeFolklore Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I like him fine, but it drives me up a freaking wall that he doesn't consider Asheville in the "mountains." Drives me crazy too. There's mountains and then high mountains. Bob was more of a personality than he was a meteorologist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoJoe Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Ha! You could tell the last few years Bob just didn't give a crap whether he was right or not. He loved doing his little outdoor segment though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacoma Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Been watching several tv mets the past little bit and everything I'm hearing is MAYBE an inch or two from all of them that I have seen thus far. Doesn't line up with the models all too well but we'll see. yep models saying colder and snowier than the mets are saying, and yep Asheville is the mountains, don't know where Jason and the mets on WLOS ever got that Asheville isn't the mountains. I grew up here and it was always the mountains then the Higher Elevations. still say Asheville will see a couple of inches, 1-2 maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacoma Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Just looked at Robert's site and he has a map showing the mountains including Buncombe County of which we are the mountains receiving up to 3 inches. Mets. are really conservative on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franklin NCwx Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 0z nam was plenty cold at 850 but that low and precip is a quick mover. Totals are not as robust on this run compared to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoWeatherman Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 This system is riddled with boundary layer issues despite how the 850's look. My gut is telling me you will need to be above 3,000ft for accumulating snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franklin NCwx Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Gfs is about as cold as the Nam and rgem now, it's a decent hit for most going off 850 temps. I'm really puzzled by gsp and their lack of winter weather products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really puzzled by gsp and their lack of winter weather products. Me and you both, I still don't understand what they see that we dont. You should have an advisory by now. I understand them not putting up one for me, theyll wait an see if it even materializes here. But for the SW mountain's it looks like a given by now.

There is not even an advisory for swain county where the smokies are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is not even an advisory for swain county where the smokies are! I guess they are ready for Spring and forgot they have to issue advisories, maybe they all left for Spring Break and left the intern at the station.

SnoJoe Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I'm under a WWA here for 1 to 4 inches. It did stress that any accumulations would be above 3500'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Ray going with 2-5 for most north of Asheville. I found this interesting as well: " Most of our area will be between 2"-5". The real show begins between 3 PM to 5 PM then intensifies around or just before sunset. It's mostly a 4-6 hour event tapering to light snow late tonight then snow showers and flurries Friday morning. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K4CF Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Looking at the radar...the bulk of the precip is already in northern AL. This is about 4 hours ahead of the 6z NAM and GFS. Its 28o here at the school in Bakersville (2500'), Spruce Pine (2700') - 29o, Buladean (4100') - 27o. Could be rain in the valleys being way ahead of schedule like this...could be a close call up higher too even Boone (3300') sitting at 29o now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went up to Beech for sunrise shots because they had a ton of rime ice at sunset last night and every bit was gone and it was 35 at sunrise. Certainly a temp inversion last night.

FlatLander48 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Not sure what is like elsewhere but the sun is out strong here. Gonna kill accumulations for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoJoe Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I agree on the temps. I'm already above freezing as well. Looking at mountain area temps, very few are below. Even Beech is at 35. I guess we'll see what happens. My bet is this will be a "pretty" snowfall but won't stick very well. Maybe some refreezing overnight but by then the moisture is pretty much gone. It's March, this is how it sometimes plays out this time of year. Next weekend is when the big event happens. DST Baby !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K4CF Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Per the radar, it looks like Crossville, TN on the cumberland range is getting some snow...but I wonder if its reaching the ground? I hate to say it but this things got bust potential written all over it...at least early on. Is that low drawing any colder air down with it?

It's the perfect storm to chase for you, no accumulations, so you don't have to worry about getting stuck and if you go anywhere do yourself a favor go above 3500ft not unless your super rich and have plenty of money to waste.
