    I thought the GFS looked somewhat different than the Canadian for the first storm. Am I missing something here?
  2. chris21
    Is the storm completely finished by 144?

    Those are somewhat misleading graphics to say the least. Those guys do weather like partisans do politics... which is weird.

    Chya!

    A light-moderate uncomplicated event. Sign me up!

    It’s a quick thump to rain on the GFS. All snow on the Euro.

    Huh? It was like an inch or 2 for long periods of time. The blinds were closed.
  8. chris21
    Ha! you should've seen it last year!

    Id be shocked if Romney got an inch. Northwest flow snows may provide a snow shower occasionally but in Romney, a NW wind is downsloping which dries up all of the moisture deposited on the Allegheny Front.

    Romney is def not my fav spot in West Virginia. I'm sure there are nice cabins, but it is in the rainshadow area. They may average 25-28 inches of snow per year if they are lucky. 20-30 miles to the west lies dolly sods and the Allegheny Front and 150 inches of yearly snowfall.

    Hopefully, the 18z will bring it back!

    In DC, we’ve actually had worse snow droughts. Look at the period from 1926-1932 . That being said, it’s still quite discouraging.

    Guidance has tried to break down the blocking countless times in the past month and a half. Given previous similar blocking regimes, it usually does not just disappear... particularly after a coupled SSW. -PMM may affect the STJ but we may be heading toward a more favorable MJO by the time Feb rolls around.

    Yeah, I wouldn’t get too depressed about that look on the gfs op at 200 hours plus. The features would only need to shift slightly for a significantly different outcome. Not impossible 200 hours out on an op.I’d rather it showed blue... but still.

    Pretty stout west based neg nao doing it’s thing there.
  16. chris21
    I’ll take my chances with colder air and that beautiful west based block and -EPO.
  17. chris21
    It’s a fair amount cooler than it has been recently however so there’s that.
  18. chris21
    I’ll take that look all day and on Sunday. Overrunning galore. We might miss out on a couple Miller b’s but at least it will be active with the potential for something to travel under the block.

    GFS looks good!

    While they could be right for the wrong reasons I would tend to just look at the 850 mb anomalies. The long range 2m temp anomalies are atrocious to say the least.

    Isotherm was more optimistic than I expected for sure.

    If you are experienced with driving in snow in the mountains you’ll be fine. I was probably more adventurous than I should have been in my Camry but I never had any issues even in blizzard conditions. I will say that I lived near snowshoe for a couple years so Im relatively experienced with it. Even though it’s in the south, the counties to the north and west of Asheville average enough snow (between 40-90 inches) to be mostly on the ball with road clearing operations.

    They have a tiny amount of big years and the average temps are warmer. I’m thinking more about NW DC/Bethesda climo than DCA. Most of their snow comes from 1 inch upslope events that melt within hours. Those same events dump lots of snow up high though.

    Im looking at places in Roan, Beech and Boone. My gf is surprisingly ok with the 3500’ requirement so I’m going all in. If you live in Asheville it’s unbelievably easy to chase snow. Most spots are 20-30 minutes from decent upslope locations. The city itself normally misses out.

    I used to live in Asheville and although there is elevation it is def less snowy than DC. They are def getting somewhat lucky so far.
