chris21 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Still 31-32 at 4600 feet at Beech. Winter wonderland with no real melting at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Yeah a complete miss on temps today. Much colder than forecasted. Very little melting at all today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckethead Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Yeah a complete miss on temps today. Much colder than forecasted. Very little melting at all today. I missed the other way. Had a forecast high of 34 and topped out at 44. And I'd be willing to bet I'm not dropping much further than the current 39 before another inversion kicks in.

Sw NC weather Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Reached 46 here, with quite a bit of melting today. North sides are still holding a good bit of snow though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckethead Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Dang that is rough. You have much snowmelt today?A few inches. I still had 10 or 11 by sundown, but I can hear water in the gutter downspouts as I type.

I know you are in a bowl but either the inversion setup crazy fast in our 300’ elevation difference or one didn’t setup over on your ridge. Saw 24 down in the valley last night while my weather station was reading 34 (thinking it could have been reading a few degrees to warm as the snow was stiffened up and melt water was frozen and my usually accurate truck thermometer was reading 28). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that short of a distance and that big of a temp spread is ridiculous. We had a heavy frost also. Almost looked like it snowed on the truck.... These microclimates can get crazy around here. I think what helps me is that we are in a bowl but the valley is directly in front of me. I think that helps to filter the cold in and out for us. We don't get trapped with the inversion in my opinion. But all that could just be BS lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxKnurd Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Highly suggest the mountain and foothills crew checkout the pattern thread in the TN Valley forum if you aren’t already, Carver does great write-ups. Outside of Larry (GAwx) on our side, their pattern discussion blows our forum’s away right now. Lot more info discussed regardless of good or bad pattern, lot less whining. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Carver, John, and Holston do a great job over there. I definitely check them out daily. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I am hoping there will be another upslope opportunity to get up there this winter. Here is one more from my short trip up: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDawg Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Obviously the upcoming pattern in the medium range isn't some honking SE snow pattern but I generally like the look at least for our area. Definitely gonna be some cutters but I think the TN valley/upper SE/southern apps are in as good a spot as can be given the background state this winter. Get one of these cutters to track into the 50/50 region to give the SE ridge a shove and get the Arctic boundary just far enough south to put us on the cold side of a trailing overrunning event. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously we aren't in a great pattern now and we still managed to see snow accumulations from 1 inch all the way up to 2 feet. Really it only takes a few storms to make our average around here and the foothills. Hopefully we get a synoptic storm but this pattern currently is more conducive for upslope flow snow.

Met1985 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Also a few things. The gfs and gefs have switched from torch to getting some really cold air into the continent. Also Canada becomes an icebox which is great for us for our cold source. Also the euro and eps continue to look good. A bit of kicking the pattern down the road but im afraid the pac will not settle down until Spring... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
