So what activities do you guys like to do in the spring?

Radar returns around Surry look good. Hang in there! I’d think Fancy Gap to Doughton Park is getting smoked right now.

It’s not sticking but it is laying it down here in Caldwell County

Two snow showers the last 30 min

Well. At least I can say I saw snow twice this week

I know you guys are getting absolutely smoked because from the foothills it’s an absolute death wall of white towering into the atmosphere

Radar looks juicy. Enjoy!

GSP disco says containment breaking will happen this afternoon. They even go as far as saying a dusting is possible in non-TN border counties

Yep! I always gauge it by the lack of traffic in the mid-long range disco and if I didn’t know any better, I’d think it’s mid July on this forum.

Ice everywhere and several wrecks in Caldwell County. Rained in the mid 30s last night but almost everywhere in the county dipped into the upper 20s by sunrise.

Feeling more confident that whatever falls here may be freezing rain or sleet. My temp is down to 36, DP of 19. Wet bulb of 30.6.

Sometimes you just need a Hail Mary!

we don’t thank you enough for your contributions to the group

I’m taking anything past 100 hrs with a grain of salt but IF this Pacific jet comes to fruition, we will burn weeks trying to break it down

Oh boy. That pacific jet could be raging. What’s the saying? What happens in December the winter will remember?

GSP says ratios for the mountains could be 20:1 . Good luck everyone! I say @Bucketheadgets another foot.

I’m not going to sweat weeklies or any model run past 5 days. The models haven’t even been in the ballpark at 100 hrs this winter, so there’s no need to think about a forecast that’s 13+ days out.

hope you’re doing well Frosty!

La Niña is gonna have guys like Josh Morgerman and Reed Timmer taking short trips this summer and fall

Oh don’t get me wrong. Definitely didn’t mean it like that. Luckily the mtns will continue to do well with flow and nighttime snowmaking.

If it ain’t gonna snow, I’m good with temps that let me get outside. Until the PNA is firmly positive, let it be 80 every day.

the first one smells like a pattern that leads to suppressed storm tracks

This isn’t designed to be a pessimistic post but the reality is that outside of the mountains, we’re all going to have to dial back our expectations going forward and we should ignore the Mets who love to throw out lofty analog years every given winter. The oceans are cooking right now. The Atlantic is breaking all-time records for warmth this time of year and a warm pacific has contributed to an absurdly bad pacific pattern for us not only now but for years. It was challenging to get snow decades ago and it’s a big ask now when our region is constantly torn between mild pacific patterns and a SER that just can’t help itself with the Caribbean temperatures 100 miles off our coastlines.
