I can see it from my window

If the band orients WSW-ENE through you and Dendrite, would have to think the summit of Kearsarge could be our jack

Good to know…we’ll see if that comes to fruition…or not?

Lol. My forecast is a "wet dusting". I must say social media is over run with a plethora of "weather authority" vendors these days- and most of them are posting absolute swap these days. Any body with a computer and a map is putting out snow maps these days! I'm sure AI isnt helping with that

The second one is the current map

I realize the following comment's likely to catapult me into the top ranked popularity seeding but ... winter sputters in January this year. Possibly early on too. Canonical thaw struggles to reset and then its flower February

I get why you're thinking maybe a relaxation after the 15th. However, I think the MJO in cold Phase along with possible upstream blocking should curtail any significant warmup mid late month. If anything, may get a deeper dive of the PJ and Cold. The PAC Jet may try to mitigate the Effects of the above mentioned as it may dampen the -EPO but, the MJO and -NAO should still keep troughing in the East. Just my Antique 2 Cents worth. Of course, if the -NAO is not still there or robust then a milder outcome.

lol Judah

Interesting that I'm under a WSW and the NWS map has 7", when the Meso models are basically rain.

It better thump from the onset. Otherwise, even these numbers might not materialize.

I was expecting a mid-month warmup, but that's looking more and more temporary.

My zones add up to 7-13 and Elster has increased total expected to 10 for CON. We are prob gonna get that band

It's going to be a close call here in Haywood County overnight. I see GSP has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Buncombe and Henderson Counties now. Frankly the models are struggling beyond 24 to 48 hours. Until they settle down, it's hard to put much faith in the medium and longer range guidance.

The rain line sneaking north -- a tale as old as time. NWS's latest map.....

The AK vortex is there for only 5 days (days 5-10) after which it’s pushed well inland. By day 15, it’s way different per 12Z ens: 12Z GEFS: 12Z EPS:

Rt 15 special incoming

Agree. Weak PV from Strat probably part of it. Ryan Maue thinks a full Split is still coming. Also, if the blocking upstream Models are suggesting coming up is right then there will probably be a deeper dive of the Cold into the SE than being shown.

Just got a workout in and it’s definitely anti-torch outside, unlike in March when we’d easily blast into the upper 40s/low 50s. I’m becoming more bullish. My bar is an inch on all elevated surfaces.

Wouldn't be bad for a good chunk of ya'll. Wish our favored friends the best!

What could go wrong using terms like "most extreme" and "shocking"!

Exactly. They dismiss the simple watt-for-watt comparability of energy sources because they still imagine a world where fossil fuels are the superior source of energy. They rage against any acknowledgment of implicit subsidies, because recognition of those costs reveal how the playing field has been tilted toward fossil fuels for generations. They pretend the economic, environmental, and social costs of engineering a hotter planet are $0, because only that fiction allows them to erase the mounting bill for continuing to choose to burn carbon at a massive scale. A $0 assumption also allows them to set aside the profound ethical choices involved in continuing to reject less expensive and cleaner alternatives for fossil fuels. Trapped in a worldview shaped by the sunk-cost fallacy, they insist that yesterday’s benefits justify tomorrow’s risks. They cling to the comforts of the past as if nostalgia could grant immunity from the consequences for their shortsighted choice. In doing so, they gamble the future on the belief that the benefits of yesterday’s energy can somehow cancel out the costs of the world it is relentlessly warming.

I think that is a good summary. I see the relaxation mid month also showing up on all the models. Kinda stinks as the wife and I will be in the moutains for our annual pre-Christmas trip the 14-18. Of course, this week's warmup never materialized so who knows what will happen in 2 weeks. One thing seems certain, there will some super cold air in the Northern Hemisphere. That's always the first thing I look for...

Friday is a ways away in modeling time - with renewed cold worth watching.

Let’s see if we can wish one of these into existence for Friday @wncsnow .
