FlatLander48 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Got to see a few flurries at the end of the App game. Though it sucked to sit there and watch them lose in that wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Penland Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 Had a little dusting in the protected areas around Tynecastle/Banner Elk this morning. Sugar Mt had the guns cranked up full blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Had an overnight low of 22.7 with a skiff of snow and a high of 41.5 with bright sunshine. First day that it really felt like fall. Hard to sleep last night from the sound of all the bugs dying. I just smiled and rolled back over. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 With this last rain I had 2.74 inches of rainfall total. I had a dusting of snow yesterday morning with a low of 26 degrees. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWxGuy Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 So what’s the thoughts on this?? The EURO and UKMET showing cold there and the EURO showing the low moving up the coast in a great position to support the GFS...??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BretWx Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Feels so good to be tracking snow again! I hope we reel this one in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWxGuy Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Some of my friends I’m talking to see storms rather than wintry precip, which that’s definitely plausible and I realize this is one model showing this (which is typical of the GFS) but I believe the model is confused on the timing of the High and the Low therefore it’s spitting out some wintry precip... I’m just curious to see how the CAD sets up if it does! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I really like the pattern the euro is spitting out. Not concentrating on precipitation but the 500 pattern as a whole. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxBlue Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Seems like a good high-elevation snow producer on models so far... we'll see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatLander48 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I'm not as enthusiastic about any particular threat showing up on models yet as most, but man it feels good to see the potential there this early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree. Its early and the models have only been trying to grasp the pattern as a whole. Its early but im glad we are getting cold air in here already.

Met1985 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Man I like the look of the 5H pattern on the euro. That is one heck of a trough even for the middle of winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckethead Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Today's 12z Canadian model was quite different from the GFS. Interesting to see what the Euro shows today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 The signal is there next week for two rounds of snowfall. Per the EPS, an elongated trough will rake over the mountain of WNC Tuesday into Wednesday bringing some form of Clipper action. Then the stream could potential phase with the southern jet, later in the week. All this means is that there is way to much uncertainty regarding the pattern next week. Models will have a better handle by this weekend, but I believe fun times are in store for at least some over the next 10-15 days. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Wolf Ridge will be making snow next week with this air mass coming in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sw NC weather Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 0z GFS was real close to being good for us mountain people middle of next week, just need to get the cold air in a little faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckethead Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 So the euro took a step towards the GFS on next weekend's potential snow this afternoon. Widespread accumulation across the high country and minor accumulations for many in WNC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting a little less than I'm used to, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the neutral phase expected now and Modoki only just above neutral, the data is still somewhat applicable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 In regards to the upcoming front, I think the best chance for flakes will be northwest flow moisture Tuesday into Wednesday. Anafronts never work out for the valleys of WNC, but the backside moisture looks promising and a 1040mb high over the great lakes will certainly send the winds. The valleys in WNC would certainly see flakes from the backside if that comes to fruition. Then, late next week we could be talking about a possible Gulf Low, developing on the tail end of the wave. Will the cold air be in place? Probably not, but a retreating high to our north could make for an icy situation. Anyways, the next 10 days should be interesting. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
