I’m super envious of the climate in the southern apps. NWFS is some good stuff but I get some token flurries while an hour or so north gets painted with snows! Expand It’s been disappointing up here too this year. Yes, I have picked up 2.2 inches but a lot of the time I have that by the end of the first week of December. I’m hopeful we’re heading towards a pattern that a lot of us on here can at least score a decent event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think even those other guys have only seen nickle events. While they would have been significant events for me they were just tease events for them. Expand Yeah, still waiting on something over 3" up here, but I lived in central SC for 30 years. Believe me, I feel fortunate to live where I do.

FlatLander48 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 My thoughts on winter at this point: how many days til spring? Looks like I'm gonna be moving away from the mountains in May and cant get more than an inch or two. Maybe we will get lucky, but cant really get within a week of something nice in prime climo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Penland Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 WWA out for tomorrow. I don't see anything on the models to really warrant that unless I'm missing something but here's hoping I guess. Even the 3k NAM barely has anything.

landof2rivers Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Well I’m a little confused....Boone is under a WWA but looking at forecasts, precip doesn’t come in until lunch when temps go up. Was hoping for some wintry weather tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I usually avoid posting in the mountain thread since it has been years since I lived up there. However, today I got a piece of inside information about an ominous sign sent directly from the old man of the mountain himself. My daughter has been a keeper at the Grandfather Mountain Wildlife Center for several years. She paid me a visit today and told me that for the first time since she has been there the bears have not gone into anything resembling hibernation even though they have cut their food allowance greatly to encourage it. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I'm more of a snow lover than a lover of cold. Cold, dry, and windy just doesn't do it for me.

Hvward Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Looking at the threat for Friday night and into Saturday.. Several EPS members support the OP with the idea of a surface low cutting under the apps as a phase occurs in the upper levels. Where exactly that phase occurs is a big unknown. This past Euro run goes along with what the ICON has shown as well for the past several runs. Heavy precipitation falls into a close to frozen column, and in some areas dynamic cooling could keep the precip as snow. That might become a buzz word in the next couple of days if what the Euro shows is correct. Nonetheless glad to have a few things to track, its been a while.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
