MotoWeatherman Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Getting nutting temp fluctuations here at elevation. Was at 30 around 7p and then climbed to 34 by 950p and now have dropped to 28.0. Lost 6 degrees in the last 30 minutes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Got down to 29.9 at 7 pm. Now at 33.7. I wonder if there is any correlation between the CAD getting stronger and temps rising directly to the west of it. I've seen this many times where I live. Maybe Moto is right where they merge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I've noticed since we've had our place here for the past 4 winters in that Beech is on the west fringe of the CAD zone. When CAD is building it seems to have no problem getting to my location but once it starts to erode I warm up very quickly while Blowing Rock just to my west stays much colder. So I'm hoping for an overperforming system for my area since the high pressure feeding the CAD is pretty much anchored and not just sliding out to sea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Penland Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Foscoe right?Yessir. We're warming up slowly. Probably change over to cold rain soon enough. Not a lot of buildup on the trees but word is the roads are pretty bad. Maybe 2/10" on the deck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 It looks like the ZR will bust in most areas outside the mountains and maybe even for most in them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Just rain here as expected. I'm at 34.1 and rising. Hoping for some backside action tonight and tomorrow. I know it won't be much but it'll give it a nice feel this time of year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 This cold air source was week in my opinion. Not enough blocking. Thats ok though I feel pretty good about the next month for on and off chances for snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he meant the source. A 1040 HP is plenty good enough to work but I don’t think there’s much snow pack it’s coming over to hold the cold air. Correct me if I’m wrong lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had way better CAD situations in the mountains. Yes the most favorable areas are doing well but the cold air eroded very quickly around several locations in the mountains. A great cold air source would have temps in the teens. Yes congratulations to those seeing frozen precipitation. After the past few years people will be happy with whatever frozen stuff falls.

Sort of but Eyewall hit on what I was afraid of yesterday and it has come to fruition in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
