2016 Mountains & Foothills Fall & Winter Thread

the bolded was what caused my little reaction though I do understand your point. NWS in areas already doubled the chance of snow just because of one OP Euro run, and was just making sure we didn't fall into the trap of over hyping one run.



Sorry bud didn't mean to cause any confusion.

The CMC trended much better too. There where multiple models that trended better in out favor including the GFS para.

Lol this run completely takes out the northern mountains and foothills altogether.  The first wave might be the one we need to key in on as it looks better and better for us each run over the 2nd wave. I do think the gfs will move back north but probably not today. 

The GFS is an on island it appears, not much different than it was last January.

Yeah its going from one extreme to another. No blocking up north really. It will move further north later. 

It'll cave is my guess. I posted in the storm thread after another poster asked but it appears to have been deleted, however the 12z GFS on 18Jan2016 didn't have hardly any accumulating snow for the 22nd system that gave us over a foot. It was well north into Virginia and Maryland. 

Remember this? We'll see if it verifies after the upgrade this summer but in the past, it has struggled with these type of systems and appears to be doing the same here as well.

Very good catch! Still a LOT of time from now and the weekend.

It doesn't mean much but I've had a gut feeling from the get-go that this was a southern/eastern event. Still hoping I'll be proven wrong. The AO tanking mid month does give me some hope for the future though

Man the weeklies look awsome from end of the month through the first of February. We will not jackpot but I think we can see a decent event.

Lol the storm thread is entertaining to read. We will get seveal different looks.  Can't hang your hat on one run.

The amount of posts that are being hidden is hilarious. The good news...well I guess it's good, is we're figuring out the specifics of what needs to happen for a good storm.

Lol we are. I believe we still have some big changes to go once the system gets on land.

Tonight through tomorrow is going to be the most stressful part as the storm nears/ gets over land. I think by tomorrow night we're gonna know if we're going to have anything or not. Then after that is just details.

I really don't know. We may see some weird things about 48 hours before go time shoot even 24 hours before go time. I will tell you the gfs has been having issues with storms on the east coast recently.

I don't think it will last much longer. Virtually all the differences between the runs are how much interaction the s/w has with the upper jet. Once we figure that out it becomes a lot more accurate for all models

This is the SE and modeling a winter storm here is anything but accurate. Iv seen several models bust bad on both ends around the SE. Nothing is simple around here unless we just don't have a storm.

Choosing to stay optimistic on this storm. We remain days away from go-time, and there is zero true consistency from the models. We would be selling ourselves short by taking some of the current runs so literally. Climo favors our area for sure, and I get a weird feeling that if the storm tracks northward and we can throw away the suppressed idea, it will track close to the coast and we will get ours. Also, btw I've been reading off and on for close to 4 years now and finally decided to hop on board. I've always enjoyed some of the analysis and it's too exciting to not join the discussion this time of year.

The "meh" 12z Euro run still spits out 4-5" for the Boone area with 15+:1 ratios. 

Considering we've only seen an inch so far that would be a nice improvement.

Yea, not sure we're going to see a big storm or not, but I think it will be hard to walk away without a couple of inches.
