WxKnurd Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Thanks, glad to be back. I’ve been keeping up with things lurking around not logged in since I couldn’t remember my login info and it wasn’t saved like I was saying the other day. Life has been crazy this year, which I think everyone has felt at some point or another and uttered those words lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoJoe Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Still getting some nice flurry showers coming through. Is that even an ob, "flurry shower"? I'm at 16.9 with some pretty decent wind gusts. Last gasp I suppose. A very nice day for us winter weather lovers. Cheers! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Local Yokel Wx Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 The Skyway total is amazing. I can literally throw a stone at the Mtn Research Station from our property. We ended up with just under an inch here in Waynesville. Below is the NWS post storm analysis map. Not too shabby. Link to the arcgis dashboard storm total map that's interactive: https://noaa.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/4fe985838e464fb9bb980799443e01b6 Lastly: If you don't follow Evan Fisher check him out. He has been killing it lately these past few years with event videos and now is evolving into maps.

Buckethead Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 It is very cold and and very bright this morning. Down to 13 predawn but we've rebounded all the way to 14 now. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 Yep had a low of 13 degrees here. I think that is about as cold as we saw all of last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sw NC weather Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Got down to 16 degrees here by far the coldest morning of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckethead Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 After a high of 34° yesterday the temp rose and hung out around 40° all night. Currently at 41°.Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Sunday night through Tuesday is starting to grab my attention. Possible some overrunning precipitation. Lots going on at the 500mb level so I think we have a long way to go before we know how this one will unfold. Models are showing a deep Gulf Low shooting up and interacting with a ULL. Euro has what is very close to a snow sounding Monday evening. Column is also very saturated. All models show the ULL and the GL, it’s just a matter of how close they get to each other, and if the ULL can capture the GL. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extra 24 hours will probably make all the difference. Although I'll admit I don't know how Gatlinburg fares in a setup like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take this look at day 4/5 every time for a gulf system. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 12z gfs with a very similar look. I'll take this look at day 4/5 every time for a gulf system. Yep 12z Euro with a similar look to the 0z. Many times I’ve seen these overrunning signatures that show up like this turning into a decent thump where some see 3”+ along the Escarpment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 Had another low of 14 this morning. Man im in a prime spot for radiational cooling. Yep looks like we may have multiple chances to see some flakes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I'm in a good cooling spot too for the foothills and had 19 the last 2 nights. Interesting little setup Monday night with the overrunning then it looks to warmup some the following week before the next cold front. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Penland Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Also made it up to Mitchell yesterday. Only had about 4-6" on the ground (park ranger said they measured 3.8" but seemed like more than that to me) but there were a lot of knee deep drifts. Got into a couple sections up to my thighs between Mitchell and Craig on the Black Mountain Crest Trail. Pretty nice weather day honestly, made it up to 21 for a high but super breezy. I had been wondering why their Davis station was only reporting a light breeze and turns out it was frozen solid and couldn't turn freely. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don't think the mountain does that great in upslope snows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckethead Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Yeah I don't think the mountain does that great in upslope snows. I'm typically directly upstream from Mitchell in these events (~315-320°) and I think Big Bald (5516') has a lot to do with it. The 3000' asl valley between me and Mitchell might cause a little downsloping which doesn't help either.

Tyler Penland Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Yeah I don't think the mountain does that great in upslope snows. Yeah we're already planning a trip behind a gulf low. I was just glad I still have the stamina and fitness to do that 14 mile, 4kft gain and still get out of bed this morning ha. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Mitchell definitely doesn't do as well in these setups but makes up for it with Gulf Lows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking to the skies Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 The continual row of Upper level lows is impressive so far this winter. It has been a spell since we have seen such. The problem is , of course, LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION Any hope for us snow lovers in Georgia ( outside of the mountains) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
