The Alchemist Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I cant believe its 59.8˚ at 10:40pm with a light breeze here in Saluda NC... ON Feb 7th!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Mping reports showing ice occurring in Austin, TX. A lot of times with these overrunning events I like to look downstream to see how moist the atmosphere is compared to what models showed. Looking back at yesterdays 3km NAM runs, there was no real switch to snow for parts of TX, but on the most recent 6z run, there is a swath of 1"-2" across central TX. With dew points low enough, I think we could see wetbulbing at 850mb and some snowflakes/ip mixing in tonight and into tomorrow as this overrunning precipitation makes it into WNC. Similar setup on Sunday am but wedge does appear to recede. Could be some surprises in store this weekend.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moisture didn’t quite make it into WNC, but saw some reports of sleet down around GSP.. tomorrow’s precip looks to be later and warmer as well on most recent Nam runs. Is it too much to ask for for two solid weeks off Gulf Lows and favorable blocking? Maybe the last half of Feb will bring the goods. I am at the point of finding my favorite EPS member with long range fantasy snow and just watching it unfold to remember what a snowstorm looks like on models.

Tyler Penland Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 Grandfather Mountain set a new wind record about 4am this morning of 121.3mph. Crazy. It was the strongest wind I've seen at the house in foscoe since I moved there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoJoe Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Back from a little winter hiatus and it doesn't look like much has changed except my skin color. Hillbilly white to Valentines Day red in 10 days. But it was nice to get away for a while. Thanks to you guys for not letting me miss out on a good snow. Maybe a flake or two next week? You know property taxes are getting out of hand when Bob has to work at Ingles to pay them. https://www.citizen-times.com/story/news/local/2019/02/13/answer-man-former-wlos-weatherman-bob-caldwell-works-ingles/2846194002/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phelps Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I know winter isn't over in the high country yet and we'll see what happens the rest of February but right now it isn't looking too promising. If the next 2 weeks are anything like the last couple then it will be the 2nd February in a row with very little snow, even in the highest elevations. Frustrating.

cold air aloft Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 What a strange Winter. Normally if you told me that in mid-February my snow total for the season thus far would be 10 inches more that what Boston, MA has received, I would would say we're having a heck of a Winter. Not this year. Oh well, let's get ready for another 7 days or so of not needed rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Yeah we are far from over. This winter has been awful though but as some have mentioned this spring is probably going to be delayed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This winter has been awful though but as some have mentioned this spring is probably going to be delayed. Delayed spring seems to be the new normal. This is the 3rd consecutive February with way above average temperatures and flowering trees/bulbs/etc. Only to be followed by a deadly freeze in March and April. And now the mountains look like they will get 4-7" of RAIN in the next 10 days or so. Incredible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sw NC weather Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 The 12z GEFS shows 8-12 inches of rain for most of wnc! That could be bad with how wet we’ve been over the last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
