Buckethead Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 We haven't had any shortage of snow events up here. Just no robust events. Maybe this next one will be different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note Hunter, if I ever see you apologize for a missed forecast again, I am going to come up to Candler and smack you upside the head. Lol. Dude, you were all over this thing and provided an immense amount of knowledge along the way. Thermals screwed up the bottom line but who cares, you forecasted the system very well. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this next one will be different. I'm gonna disagree for the northern counties, weve had maybe 2 "potential" NWFS events this whole winter. Like there have been flakes falling from the sky 6 maybe 7 times at the most this whole season which is well below the average number of opportunities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acc fan Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 i often hear blacksburg mention west of the blue ridge in their forecasts. in weather terms, what area would that encompass. sorry if this seems like a stupid question. newbie here.

The orientation of the moisture looks good and with the ,low bombing out near the northeast it could be a good one... The GFS looks juicy Of course as soon as i post this the Euro looks less impressive and doesn't dig the trough as deep.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxKnurd Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Back deck this morning from my wife, I’ll go with 2-2.5” for the total which seems to match up with the report I saw from the NWS. Puts me in the 7.5-8” range for season to date, maybe we can eek out an inch or two of the upcoming NWFS is robust enough to spill over onto my side of the Plott Balsams. Then bring on a good March event and let’s see where the chips fall. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatLander48 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Nowhere near worth really monitoring, but the 12z GFS tries to eek out a flurry or two on Monday for some. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for taking the time to give us your thoughts on what you think will happen. Too many have chased off a number of the mets, so I'd like to make sure you understand how appreciated you are by those of us that take it in and try to learn from what you write. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made a great call from 5 days out, pointing out the potential long before most mets and even the models showed much of anything. Above 3500' your call was good in Macon county. Below that we couldn't get below freezing. We would have easily had 6" if all of what fell could have accumulated. Please keep sharing your thoughts! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 The next 7 to 10 days look interesting. Looks like we might have a few chances of snow and looks like we could possibly see some of the coldest temps of the season coming in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did some cycling on a closed section of the Parkway near Asheville, no snow at all on the road; a little snow in the woods on the north facing slopes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna say we have a "heavy" dusting and it's actually coming down pretty good. This would probably qualify for the 4th biggest event we've had lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxKnurd Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Looked to have some flakes mixing in when I left the house at 6:30, but miserly light rain/drizzle. Light rain here between Murphy and Andrews. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacoma Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Wow still can't believe the WNC Mountains haven't seen a couple of decent snows. Don't think I've ever seen weather like this in my 68 years here. Don't think a year has ever been this bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still plenty of time to score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People only remember the good years. 11-12 was a bad year 08-09 was the worst I can remember! There was a few other bad winters in the early 2000's as well as the 90's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
