But hey after the torch of December we had any Snow was a win in my book! The max at one time here on the ground is right now which is about 3”. I don’t understand why there so upset we look to be entering a epic pattern. Head up to highlands. Even scaly has 14" 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 This Friday/Saturday system/systems is sneaky, but I have seen us cash in from overrunning events i.e. Dec 2017. Waiting on the Euro but ill have a new update here in a little while. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Baroclinic zone sets up over WNC late Thursday night per NAM & RDPS. Thats a snow sounding to me. 1040mb+ high moves out of Plains with high pressure building in the South Atlantic will squeeze a moisture stream together over the South. Don't expect models to handle this one well. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckethead Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 What a NWF event! This was at noon that I measured. I'm probably close to 16" total for the storm and about 10" from the upslope. Nickel sized flakes have been just pouring all day. Got my driveway cleared for now. About to go up and check out the drifts on Big Bald.Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk 9 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well lol glad they got a good one maybe will all get in on the big totals next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hvward Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Euro ensemble has 23 members with a 6"+ event for KAVL. Looking for that to move a little higher over the next run or two. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What gives? I thought the warm nose went exactly how I forecasted it. I think the NWS means in terms of freezing rain vs. sleet because the sleet area was larger than expected. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much lined up with the GFS and Euro. The warm nose came but the damage had already been done snow wise. The ones you are reading are pissed because well they struck out but the mountains and lee side are a completely different beast all together. CAD no CAD whatever it may be the weather here in the mountains is vastly different than most can predict including the models sometimes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxJordan Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 This next storm is "more typical" with a phase between the northern and southern stream. Harder to forecast, but typical. Still unsure about which way to follow at the moment for western NC. Phase? No Phase? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Lets see what the GFS has to offer. Seem it's 5 day verification score and it's taking a hit right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im definitely thinking phase and a more NW track but the northern stream can dominate and push everything south and east of us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmoon Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Warm nose over estimated for once in yesterday's storm in the southern foothills. Just changed over to sleet for a short time then back to all snow for the duration of the storm. No freezing rain at all. Usually the warm nose all ways wins out in these areas but wasn't as strong in this storm thank goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, there was a better surge of moisture at the beginning of it than I even thought. But still, some of those totals were way way off LOL.
