Only reached 34 here today. A dusting of snow this morning with the low of 27.

The Ship never came.

Yeah, if only that had setup in January or February.

Yeah, clouds and wind kept temps up some. Did manage to hit 27. If winds die and skies clear, especially if early , yeah, very cold night on tap. May hit 20 or lower some areas.

Not alot but, at least a nice little surprise. Still flurrying.

Temp. fell from 29 to 27.4 during that heavy snshwr. . I was really pulling for the weekend system as i'm afraid it may warm up a little too much for the Tuesday one. Hopefully timing will be good and cold locks in enough.

Coming down moderate to heavy now with a heavy dusting.. even on roads. Looked at Pennington gap camera and quarter sized flakes there. Still small dense ones here.

Update: heavy snow falling about 200 yards to my east onward. Hills whited out !

A light dusting here. Small flakes coming down pretty good now. Steady light snow.

Snow showers been moving through here.. Mainly Graupel

Your area it would be highly unlikely. Eastern areas, particularly northern sections not that unlikely. One of the biggest Snowfalls I ever witnessed occured April 2-5, 1987. I lived near Pennington gap,Lee County, VA at an elevation of 1550 ft. and recorded 30 inches on the north facing, shaded area's. I remember reaching down to the ground and it was wet underneath. Temps had been in the 70's for 2 weeks prior to the Storm. There'd easily been 4 feet had it all accumulated. In fact, 54" was recorded on High Knob near Norton.

It actually changed to rain in Truckee for a while today.

The difference this time may be the MJO if the western seasonal track is bucked. Also, Nina has weakened. Hopefully, these factors buck the seasonal trend. However, troughiness in the SW will try to continue the cutter pattern.

Stronger Wave. Therefore greater effect on 500 mb Pattern.

Everybody, go check out the Truckee/ lake Tahoe Cam's if you wanna see something spectacular. Flakes at least 3" diameter were falling a few minutes ago. Downtown Truckee | Tahoetopia

Yeah, that one has Legs. Euro showing it as well. May actually trend to cover more of the area.

Looks good!! That one looks to have Legs.

Here ya go guys . Salivate ! Truckee CA : Downtown Truckee | Tahoetopia

I remember the Blizzard well. One thing they mentioned was wrong, as far as here in Lee County is concerned. The Storm didn't begin as Rain. Snow began to fall in Pennington gap at 1:13 Friday Afternoon with a Temp. of 36 . The Temp rapidly fell below freezing as Snow began to accumulate quickly.

In all my 40+ years of meteorological experience I've never seen the 500 mb Pattern behave irt the NAO blocking continually hooking up with the SER.... It's just hard to believe what we're witnessing.

I agree with you wholeheartedly with this . In actuality, i'm confident of measurable snow even in Valley Locations south to I-40 and quite possibly further South. Alot of cold waiting in the wings with transporting Driver's aligning. Also, STJ has been pretty juicy and the real possibility of Miller A Cyclogenesis exists, imo...

Same here.

Good post and point. The deepness of that western trough is a real monkeywrench. Hopefully, we can at least get a ridge over top and cut it off.

Yeah, same ol bs this poor excuse of a Winter.

Problem is the recount would be done by the heat miser.
