You are nearly double that(or 55” above rainforest classification).. astonishing. Most if the southern mtns are like that.

LiQuiDBuD Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Amazing total so far. We've outperformed as well. I'm sitting at 95" on the year. Will do. We have over performed with every system this year precipitation wise so I don’t see why this system should be any different. We’re right at 130” of rain for the year.

LiQuiDBuD Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 After getting down to 33 and heavy mixing, I'm nearing 35 and just a couple flakes mixing. Looking forward to the high getting in position and cooling me back off, I hope.Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncjoaquin Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I need to just not look at the radar. I always have negative illusions of what is going on. Speaking of rain. 70 inches this year. I don't know how you guys do that every year. There has not been one event that has not over performed. Let's hope that the trend continues.

Trust me, it gets really old. And it can be frustrating in the winter when you can barely get .25 qpf out of a snow event but a rain event can easily be 4-6 inches.

HurricaneTracker Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Uh oh. 3km NAM has 4-6 hours of sleet for Asheville overnight tonight, during the period of best forcing and maximum moisture. Bye bye snow totals. Time to sound the alarms. This is not an epic event or once in a generation event. Oh and 12Z NAM cuts QPF by 40-50% as well. Damn.

No longer the case. Look at the sounding data I posted 15 minutes ago. Warm nose is clear as day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
