nrgjeff Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Looking ahead to Tuesday and Tuesday night. GFS/Euro both have very light snow in the mountains. Stronger southern stream could help. Another option is a stronger transfer to a Carolina low. I'm not talking big snow. What I want is midweek action with cheap lift tickets and small crowds. Oh yeah dress for Rocky Mountain cold.

Met1985 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 This has been an impressive upslope even just on coverage itself. It's still snowing really well along the boarder and still getting snow into the valley into Waynesville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landof2rivers Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 For the Boone area, which forecast do you trust for these events? No forecast I saw earlier said it would be snowing still. NWS forecast has gone from mostly sunny and windy to snow showers/ flurries for the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoJoe Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Nice little event today. Almost 3 inches and still have moderate snow. Temp - 11.8 Wind - 12/G23 Wind Chill - -2.45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's an awesome view to the east of here and clearly see the snow line on the mountain tops. Curently 21 with what's left of a dusting from this morning.

Tyler Penland Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 Still flurrying here a bit south of Boone. Nice solid dusting, maybe 1/2". Fantastic weather day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Northern Yancey, about 6 miles from the TN line. My property faces NW so I usually do pretty well with flow snow. BTW, it's snowing as hard now as any other time today. Use the Morristown TN and Jackson KY radar composite loops and they'll give you a good idea of trajectories and upstream moisture. They both still look pretty good for a few more hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red1976Red Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 TN border areas look good and northern NC foothills. not so good asheville, central/southern foothills into south-west NC. 2" for lot of east TN and western NC mountains, 1" northern foothills. maybe more mountains with higher ratios something to watch. -euro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirNelson39 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Not sure how we have a closed low move directly over the Mtn’s (per Euro) and the precip just vanishes before it gets here?? Can someone explain this?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone explain this? . This! It puzzles me as well. You’d think in this set-up we’d at least be good for a solid 2-4 inches or maybe more, but it literally dries up in E TN after dropping nice totals there.

I'm baffled by the models at this point. I've seen radar simulations that show the mountains getting hours of moderate snowfall at sub-freezing temps and the output is a half an inch.

Silas Lang Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Hmm...well the NAM doesn't show a lot in terms of snow maps and the radar even looks anemic as it comes over the mountains; however, at 700 things look moist as well as at the surface. The RGEM actually looks pretty awesome on precipitation. We may not get the most snow, but I also don't think we will get totally blanked. Ratios should be great and timing is actually ideal for us (late evening into the night). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Ridge_Escarpment Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Canadian showing 3 inches here in the foothills. Not too shabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I am riding the NAM with this one. It looks decent with the first system then some upslope snow also. The GFS looks pretty bad for us and well it's the GFS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I think for us we want this thing to be a frontal passage with moisture along the front. We have cold temps, snow on the ground, and frozen ground. Snow will start laying quickly for us. The only way we get good moisture is if the low redeveloped much soon and closer to us which currently I just don't see. Still this is one of those last minute things when things kind of comes together... Which is the norm for around here lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I am thinking also except this will effect all of the mountains with primarily snow for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
