wncsnow Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Terribly blown forecast today. Yesterday NWS was forecasting a high of 49 and drizzle most of the day with a wedge. Instead it was a nice sunny 60° day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNC_Fort Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Took a break from here and doesn't look like I missed much other than a day of hope that was quickly washed away. Winter is over folks. Other than the late frost and freezes we will see in March/April. We blew it this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneWX Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Get that pre emergent down boys! Don’t wait or you’ll be regretting it come April. I think an early spring is coming for once. I don’t personally see this flipping to extended cold with an established and strengthening La Niña in March/April. edit: except we’ll absolutely have a wedge for opening day of trout season. Absolutely given lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely given lol. I'm afraid trout fishing wont look the same for many years. Probably going to go west more this year. Most streams in McDowell, Yancey, Mitchell and Avery are still a mess. Fishable yes but it almost feels wrong fishing areas with debris piled 20 feet high and houses gone. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My nephew works/worked for the Armstrong fish hatchery (Marion) run by the state. Was basically washed away during Helene. They are trying to build it back but he said it's going to take a long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be hitting blue line creeks in higher elevations targeting specs and splitting my other time for crappie and bass on the lake. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another winter here in the foothills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooneWX Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I think we’ve got one more crack at it, pattern wise, beyond Valentine’s with the heart of the cold probably centering around the 20th-the end of the month. It’s been a long time since we’ve scored in Feb but a big part of that has been due to an unfavorable Pacific and never journeying through the cold phases of the MJO. I don’t think the MJO is everything but I’ll take my chances in phase 8 & 1 any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooneWX Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Man these models keep trending wetter and wetter for this week and of course it’s us, the mountains and E TN. This region has had enough misery these past few months. Unreal luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I’m five miles from KHKY airport, but I am way colder. Airport is reporting 44, while I have 36.4/34.Not expecting much in the ZR category here, despite the WWA, but I have never seen such a large discrepancy in my temperature versus that of the airport. Also, I wasn’t projected to hit 36 until 8 AM tomorrow morning in the hour-by-hour from NWS GSP, so I am running way under projected.. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out here in the country there are some temps already around 34.9-36.2. Most models have us around 40 right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNC_Fort Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Yawn. The long-range models don't excite me. Lots of the same as we've seen before. It'll just trend towards a cutter/rain or suppressed/cold/snow in the Piedmont and Coastal Plain. Just take me on to Spring already to end the misery 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneWX Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Kinda intrigued to watch what happens today. I keep thinking the DP can’t tick lower with precip falling but it does. GSP talked about the cold air advection being a bit stronger this afternoon than initially thought, so we’ll see if that feed keeps coming. Rn, I have a light NE breeze. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercurydime Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I got up to 41 here in PG today, but I'm back down to 36. It's certainly a raw kinda day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its definitely a foothills special- mid 30s and rain. The op Euro was funny. We get a late bloomer and edged with snow while the coastal plain just smoked again. That would be a hilarious but fitting way to end the winter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this range we should be looking at that .... not the OP run. However, the trends are encouraging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
