Seems like we always have this late fall lull where we're waiting for winter. Anyhow, I'm thankful we live here and cant wait until we have some big storm to track and post about. We always do eventually. Happy Thanksgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tacoma Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Boy the weather is nice but boring, I'm ready for some action, winter action if at all possible, I know it's a little early yet but ready to see at least some fantasy winter weather, not seeing any of that yet either. Come on winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SN_Lover Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Got to wounder how many more years these ski resorts can stay open in NC. Warm winters have got to be eating at any profits by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My family and I will drive up when there is a good snowfall and ski at Beech Mountain... easy drive (wife does not fly)... and I get nervous. Passed on a couple of real estate options recently out this concern... I love it up there, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this is not a long term thing. Looking down the road we may see some flake action next Friday. We will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I like what I'm seeing in the extended today. Things could certainly get interesting by mid-month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrgjeff Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Ski areas have to like the 11-15 forecast. Even if not much natural snow, they can make a ton of snow in that weather pattern. Then they are set up for the holiday season. Definitely wish them all the best on the business side. We all enjoy local skiing and riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCSNOW Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I'm getting stoked for the weekend of December 9,10. Well be in Boone the next 2 weekends and I see some great potential. Tell ya boys we have all grown wiser over the years with Lucy pulling the ball out from underneath with pattern changes , storms etc. But this pattern coming up is not only a picture perfect one for all of us, but I've never seen day after day consistency and model suport (ens). So be of good cheer. I'd love to luck up a few times in December with Hollidays,lowest sun angle all year. Nothing beats white ground in December. Glad the slopes will be abe to really get out of the gates good starting about this time next week. They should all have a killer base by the time everyone is off work out of school for the hollidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 For me let's get this "pattern change" at 5 days or under. We have seen this time again and time again. I'm being very cautious with the upcoming pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am watching for that change around the 8th. If we can get that then I think things will hopefully fall into place. Cold but not super cold is what I am expecting and hoping for.

If you read webber, I couldn't agree more with the blocking up over Alaska being way more crucial to driving our wx pattern in regards to SE wintry precip,cold. Yes it's great for - ao,nao etc. But ne pac really plays the biggest hand in our winter prospects down here. Other stuff is icing on cake,help. I'll go on record and eat crow, but I'm 100% convinced we are about to have a grandaddy December from Dec 7th ish on. Espeacilly in light of the past several Decembers. I can gurantee at a minimum ski enthusiasts are gonna be in heaven from mid late next week deep into winter at a minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 We are losing the NAO blocking according to the indices but the EPO will override that. The AO has a lot of spread but its all in the negative range. The only thing that concerns me is that losing the NAO we actually do not have a pattern that sets in and we just roll along if the EPO dissipates. If the EPO hammers down then we will be on the cold side of things hopefully as long as the troughs do not set up too far north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
