    I love how nonchalant these outlooks are when snow is only expected to impact the high country. Had a similar outlook a few weeks ago when I was up at Beech and the roads were completely covered with drifting/blowing and zero visibility. Def a few slick spots Lolol! Those conditions would absolutely shut down a major city.

    Mid March is still game on for the mountains. Lowlands are another story, but PSU land can still score as well.

    Absolutely pouring snow at Beech. About a half inch so far, road just caved. Temp is at 30 and falling. Radar looks interesting

    I went up to the top yesterday and there was almost certainly a bit more snow on the west side than on top.

    Picked up somewhere between 4 and 6 inches on the west side of Beech at 4700 feet. Serious drifting and Blizzard conditions last night and constant flurries/light snow of varying intensity currently. Temp has reached 32.

    Temp fluctuating between 28-29 with winds still gusting to 40. Snow has picked up considerably and is accumulating on all surfaces up here at Beech. Blowing snow is already reducing visibility up here.

    Flash freeze up here on Beech this morning with 45-50 mph winds. Currently 30 and dropping fast, still in the clouds with light snow starting.

    I’m up at Beech for the next week so I’ll be providing updates when the weather gets interesting. Unbelievable south winds last night, 50 mph gusts easily.

    EPS looks amazing

    I’ll be up at Beech Mountain at that time and hoping 5500 feet of elevation can lead to a miracle in this “shit the blinds” pattern

    Wallops Island is in Virginia.

    Somewhat similar to the Canadian but weaker on the Euro. Strong high in New England may prevent a quick escape north.

    GFS/Euro showing a home brew scenario after hr. 150 east of Florida.

    Might be getting ahead of yourself here.

    It jogged east and the models are showing an east jog this morning. Will pass closer to Jax than thought yesterday. Power has been flickering this morning already in Avondale.

    So I’m from the DC area (grew up there and lived off and on for 30 years). I’ve also lived in Asheville and am planning on moving to Boone area later this year/early next year. In general, Asheville has a similar snow climo to DC but once you get west and north slightly it improves dramatically. An hour north of Asheville on the Tennessee border some areas average over 90 inches of snow and those areas have at least 30-40 inches on the year. Outside of the northwest flow zone though it’s been pretty awful.

    Hence why I’m moving to the area to the area around Banner Elk, NC next year. We’ve always loved the area and the climate is far more to my liking.

    Still 31-32 at 4600 feet at Beech. Winter wonderland with no real melting at all.
  19. chris21
    Perhaps slightly but guidance has been remarkably consistent with upslope QPF for this event run after run.
  20. chris21
    Looks like a fair amount more northwest flow to me. Around 16 inches at Roan this run.
  21. chris21
    Ehh… they’ve been getting a decent upslope event even from the most meager progs and has been trending pretty steady. As warm as it is for the lowlands, as depicted, the highlands will be cold enough for moist, northwest flow.
  22. chris21
    Does it still look like upslope for the mountains in the EPS. I havent been able to check the snow probs.
  23. chris21
    I’ll be at Beech Mountain, NC for my bachelor party! Hopefully we see a couple flakes at least
  24. chris21
    Euro now showing a huge ice event with temps 29-31 in the northern mountains.
  25. chris21
    Every model shifted north significantly at 12z. We’ll see.
