SnowDawg Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Very jealous of Northern Alabama today. Still holding out hope for later but very skeptical of being able to overcome 30+ point dewpoint depressions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not hating on them, but I certainly wish the pendulum would swing to the Apps and eastward for once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The troughs set up too far west for us most of the time and they get in on the goods. It should change once we get out of this Nina driven pattern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDawg Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 From what I can tell, basically every county in North GA from the Atlanta area up got anywhere from mood flakes to an inch, except for mine. I try to keep my emotions out of this most the time, but this one stings lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Florida received snow flurries I think Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I've seen accumulation reports from Southern Gwinnett and other parts of the metro, the Athens area, the southern mtns in Dawson and Forsyth, lots of West GA, and all the northern mtn counties but mine. Hopefully the back half of winter has hope for something bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckethead Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Just made it to 33 at my house in Wolf. I had been below freezing for 112 consecutive hours before that. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneWX Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Pattern looks good in the long range but let’s see if it can stay that way… a ridge over the Rockies would be a humongous win for the east coast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I figured with a large wrapped up storm, of all places the mtns would have seen sOmEtHiNg. Isn't there an Upslope effect there? Pretty disappointing for you guys, for sure. This far north and by the lake, we usually do well.

It was oriented west that NW like we want it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneWX Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Man I feel so bad for ski resorts. They’ve had several good winters so I guess they were bound to have a dud before long. This torch is going to kill snowmaking - unless it’s Beech where they’ve installed machines that can generate snow at 50 degrees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugar has been sold out and App Ski is doing really well. All the tubing places around have been booked up all week as well.We've been doing insane business at the store this week as well. I'm pretty much out of hats/gloves. Been crazy. I swear the entire city of Miami is in Boone/Blowing Rock right now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not serious ...... the skis resorts have a deep base right now and they will survive a couple of weeks warmer weather just fine. I promise you that there is plenty of winter to come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneWX Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 My bad boys, hadn’t been paying attention to the slope reports. Saw some pics from a few days ago and it looked meh, but those pics were probably deceiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ja643y Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Wondering if anyone has looked at Next Friday and think there’s a chance for that to trend better for the region. GFS had an interesting solution at 6z that I imagine wouldn’t be too far fetched to trend for some snow for the Mountains - but then again, I know very little and only spend a month or two a year up here, so don’t know all the nuances.

Yeah, it's at that "watch the trends" stage right now. However, I believe the higher elevations certainly have a shot with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Penland Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 GFS keeping next Fri/Sat interesting. Looks good for at least some NWF at the least. I'll take anything over the 60+º we've got coming this week. I love warm weather as much as the next guy just... not in January. LOL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaStorm05 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 You guys need the luck of Reno, Nevada. Yesterday into last night a cold Tonopah Low mixed with an atmospheric river. This isn’t too common as atmospheric rivers usually bring warmer temperatures and higher snow levels. Snow Levels hovered around 4000 feet yesterday and Reno area received 6 to 12 inches of snow in town, with much heavier amounts in the mountains. Snow in Reno is pretty common, but 6-12 inches is a once every 2-3 years event. The oceanic climate of the blue ridge mountains sounds beautiful, although I didn’t envy the cold we also got a taste of earlier in the week when Gainesville got down to 21 degrees. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t think of any other mountainous area in the lower 48 that has as varied weather over such short distances. This month alone I’ve seen it clear back towards Crabtree Bald, some clouds at my house coming over the top of the ridge and then the Buncombe side be socked in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
