  1. That’s interesting. Should get some wet bulb and dynamic cooling to help but maybe it is [emoji2369]
  2. That looks like a nice path for orographic lift on those NW facing slopes .
  3. Not sure what location you’re going to but in Wears Valley I’ve stayed at a couple of cabins that are 3k+. One of them was right on the GSM line. .
  4. I think this is pretty much where we are at until we can get a climate shift. Outside a few years we have been running in sand for 20+ years. .
  5. I went up to the mountains this morning to see the snow. Gatlinburg had about an half inch. Drove up to Ober and they had 2-3 inches. My Jeep will climb a tree but coming back down Ski Mountain ain’t real fun. Little River Rd from Sugarland Center to Cade’s Cove was open but they closed it while I was on it and they made me turn around at Elkmont Junction. It was really pretty up there. The measurable snow was oddly scattered. Just past Gatlinburg where they had 441 closed snow was lightly on the roads, mostly because it was getting blown off before it could accumulate but you had 2 tire tracks to follow. Took a right on Little River and no more than a half mile it had hardly even snowed. Continued on and I’d go from almost nothing to the road being covered to almost nothing again. When I got to Elkmont the snow was just pukin it and I went from nothing to a couple of inches in a 1/4 mile at the most. Went back to Gatlinburg and took the bypass and to my surprise the ground was just dusted up there. The thing that absolutely blew me away from the Spur and all threw the mountains was the amount of trees that were down. I’m assuming the last couple mountain wave events has effectively taken down the trees that were killed from the fires. There was tree companies all along the spur and the bypass. Some places along the bypass was completely leveled. Went by myself so I wasn’t able to get pictures. Hopeful to go back this weekend and get tree damage pics. Never seen anything like that before. .
  6. Wow https://www.resortcams.com/webcams/ober-gatlinburg-tram/ .
  7. I’m off today with nothing to do so I’m gonna ride up that way .
  8. It’s funny reading about all these anomalies and teleconnectors needed for us to get in position for a good snow but growing up, (I’m 45) all we looked for was a L pressure tracking across the GOM coast and we knew we were in business. [emoji2369] .
  9. Imgur keeps them forever. I’ve got gifs/pics on there from 10 years ago .
  10. If we don’t get a lengthy period of dry weather soon we’re gonna have another issue like last year. .
  11. I 100% believe there’s something that helps low level winds in Monroe and Blount Co with tornadoes. The numbers speak for themselves vs the other mountain counties. .
  12. I was very hopeful at the start of the season when mods handled CF’s and cold shots very well, they even under bid the cold air with the light snow we got in December. I think we’ve all figured out that when mods show a flip but never make inside d10 and this goes on for a while it ain’t happening. We tracked this a few years ago starting in January looking at 15-20 degrees BN. When it finally happened in March, 15-20 degrees BN wasn’t even cold enough for snow. .
