Tyler Penland Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 The wind is absolutely ripping currently. Just went into Boone and it wasn't bad there. Whipping hard here at the house though. Feels like stepping out into a tropical storm with sideways rain and 60 degrees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneWX Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Wind is ripping down here today. It feels like an April afternoon. Growing sorta concerned with the straight line wind potential this evening. It seems like there will be plenty of energy to work with in our area.

wncsnow Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I sure hope the pattern does change do a cold and drier one because it is setting up for serious flooding. I'm closing in on 3 inches quickly and the line isn't here yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlier in the week the TVa was releasing water from Fontana to make sure the lake could hold all the rain we are supposed to get. It used to be a big deal when they released but now its something they have done regularly the past few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 To have a winter day like today in the mountains is almost as good as a nice snow in some respects. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Penland Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 GFS /euro both with some overrunning late Friday. Gfs is a little more impressive on the snow front but both obviously go to rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they stopped posting every 240+hr snow map they could find 4 times a day. It's been entertaining. And I can't tell when Mack is serious and when he's sarcastic, lol. Maybe it's his profile pic throwing me off. I'm optimistic about the upcoming pattern. I don't think it would take too much tweaking to make next week interesting. Are the Great Lakes still unfrozen? Asking for a friend... I'm kinda curious about this weekend too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I think the upcoming pattern is much more favorable than the one we have currently. Ill take that look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't take a lot to turn a 35 degree rain storm into snow in the medium range from here on out and I still think we get a big dog somewhere along the way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank God you guys are so much more sensible then they are. They live and die by every model run. But moving on I do feel as if will be tracking at least a mod event by the end of January.

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!

To be fair not all of us even cash in on the nwfs. I'm quite jealous of bucket, moto and snowjoe because they all seem to do quite well. Best I've seen just south of Boone all season is a half inch at most so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While they would have been significant events for me they were just tease events for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
