wncsnow Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Nasty day with the wind here in West Asheville. Some flurry/snizzle action at times. Looking long range, I'm not quite ready to throw in the towel for the mountains and adjacent foothills. Yes the next 10 days to 2 weeks are going to be warm but I think we switch to colder in March. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left the house at 6:30 am with rain and a temp about 60, get back at 4:45 to snow in the upper 20’s. Love our crazy weather days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not at all. That would only affect a radius right around the derailment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over a 30 degree drop in less than 12 hours. Impressive for sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneWX Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I tend to agree. Just wanted to see if anyone felt differently. I will say, I don’t think anyone in that area is getting 1% of the accurate story. I suspect the federal government will see a lot of medical claims in court in a decade.

wncsnow Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I had a little hope a few days ago but this southeast ridge is just too strong. The upcoming blocking and -NAO will likely just prevent 70s and 80s and give us 40s and 50s and rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneWX Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I’m rooting for all of you high elevation folks to score on some NWF with these intermittent cold shots but I’m not even going to lie. This whole winter has felt kinda gross (couldn’t be the 15 inches of rain). In the foothills and flatlands, I hope it’s full throttle to spring.

I certainly was never going to trust the company responsible for the disaster to confirm that it’s safe lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I know it is way out there in fantasyland (11-14 days) on an operational model and thus is for entertainment only and will understandably make some laugh. But for the record: if the 18Z were to somehow happen to have the right idea, the mountains would be hammered by upslope snow on and off during March 4th-7th. Regardless of the atrocious nature of the models this winter as well as the mildness of this winter to date overall, we still are the better part of a week away from when the recent major SSW can possibly first affect the tropospheric pattern. That SSW combined with an additional strong 60N 10 mb wind reversal progged for a week from now make things much more unpredictable than normal on Feb 21st when looking ahead to March. This is especially the case when considering the insistence of the models on a strong -NAO, which is very likely being caused by the SSW. Keep in mind that just five days ago, the GEFS mean had had the +NAO fall only to neutral in very late Feb/early March vs solidly negative on today's run. A lot has changed and still can change from what current runs, including ens means, are showing. Edit: It is the Happy Hour run. So, the GFS could just be drunk. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
