I'm not sure Joe. Apparently no one else does either, hence no replies. I think there is a semi-pro league and a Q school you can enter if you pay the entry fee. Btw, I think you're one of the best posters on the internet and I appreciate what you do. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckethead Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Woke up to almost an inch of powder outside. Still snowing pretty good too and 7.4°/6. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoJoe Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 First peek out the window this morning it looks like an inch here. Cold too with a temp of 8.8 and breezy., 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirNelson39 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Just about our best snow of the season here in Boone and no one was calling for a thing, no advisories, nothing and yet we get a solid dusting with untreated surfaces solid white. First time I’ve seen my parking lot white this season. Incredible. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckethead Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Even down at my office on Bald Mtn. Rd there's about the same amount. Makes me wonder what that moisture-starved piece of energy might be able to wring out as it passes to the SW tonight. Maybe the SW mountain folks can get a little something as well.

My understanding from years back is that a Meteorologist is someone who has a college degree in Meteorology. Pro Forecaster is someone who is, or has been, employed in the weather forecasting industry, but doesn’t have the Meteorology degree. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hvward Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 That flow from the ULL really creating some lift in the upper atmosphere. Models didn’t pick this up well at all. ICON was showing precip for tomorrow AM around Franklin and Highlands so I expect that to come to fruition as the ULL gets closer. Could have a surprise inch for many in the area. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holston_River_Rambler Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Though y'all might enjoy this. You can see air being funneled though the French Broad valley now through the mountains: There's some subsidence coming off Bays Mountain in E TN that's causing the break in the clouds on our side of the mts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Yeah you can tell this is just really hitting the most favored areas. I talked to a friend in Candler who was like what snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Above 4000’, the mountain top is snow covered. Dusting at our house at 3350’ on our side of the county line and nothing hardly on the Jackson county side. No accumulation below 3000’ here either. Mid-teens at 10 am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I’m jealous of your location in the county for flow-driven events. I want to see what happens at mine when we get a miller A tracking storm, it seems like it would set up well for that especially when looking at annual precipitation maps and seeing a maxima running along the county line. My anecdotal observations make it seem like the moisture gets ringed out here on anything other than flow snow lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah we do good in flow and southern system situations but you do better with a miller A or B. The Balsams just wring out all the moisture. You would be in heaven. Soon enough hopefully we get one storm we can all cash in on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Parkway is open for the time being, turned the corner at Woodfin Cascades overlook and hit more than a dusting. 4000’ but the northerly facing component is the main difference. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
