2019/2020 Mountains and Foothills Fall/Winter Thread.
cold air aloft replied to Tyler Penland's topic in Southeastern States
Yes they are, I've been checking in over there as well. Radar returns to our west are amped up as well. -

On my morning walk around Maggie. Light flakes falling with a slight NE wind. I can smell the paper mill a little. You Haywood County folks know that’s a good sign. Good luck y’all! -
One More Shot: Feb 20-21 Event

The latter. -

A Murphy to Manteo event would be awesome. The way this Winter has gone for most of us so far, it would be poetic justice. -

Unfortunately radar returns have filled back in to the west. -

Yeah, even though this Winter has been beyond disappointing so far, if you have lived in this area for any length of time you know we still have two more months for something to hit. I actually kind of like the back half of Winter events, freezing rain is less of a worry and with the changing dynamics in the atmosphere as we get closer to Spring, the chances for some thunder snow increases as well. Plus, just the law of averages says we get at least one legitimate event. I'm not going to quit on Winter on January 30. -

Maggie Valley usually doesn't do well with a pure NW flow event, but this event seemed to have more of a due north to south orientation which helped us to cash in. Nice to finally have it look and feel like Winter. -

2 inches in Maggie Valley and still coming down at a decent clip. -

Looking at the current radar returns in central Missouri, the trough is definitely not completely void moisture. From the Kansas City NWS forecast discussion this morning: National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO 500 AM CST Mon Jan 20 2020 .Discussion... Issued at 336 AM CST MON JAN 20 2020 Interesting weather set up for Monday, which begins with a surface high centered roughly over the eastern Dakotas. With the center of the ridge situated well off to the north, cold air will continue to filter into the region for the next day or so. This would normally keep the weather pretty fair, but currently over central Minnesota a shortwave trough is currently diving southward into Iowa and eventually will move over the forecast area. Now, moisture within the column will be difficult to find, but this trough may provide just enough lift and the air mass may just be cool enough to condense the limited moisture into precipitation in the late morning to late afternoon hours. Maybe we can pick up a little something tonight into tomorrow morning with the frigid air in place. I'm grateful for whatever we can get this Winter. -

At work in Canton. 43 degrees with graupel. I'll take any kind of wintry weather we can get at this point. -

Looks like another squall line of thunderstorms is developing in SW part of our region. -

Par for the course this season. Of course, these unexpected precip sytems never seem to pop up when we have cold air in place. -

Congratulations on running that, that’s a fantastic achievement. It takes a different breed of athlete to accomplish that run. -

Yep, watching the the Pigeon River right now, it's as full as a tick. Also, looking at the rain falling now and the radar returns to our west, it seems to me precipitation rates are going to be higher than what the forecast is calling for. -
Congratulations, Haywood County is a great place to live. The Smokies and Balsams help to create some fascinating weather situations around here as well. Enjoy!

While I would like the snow, accumulating snow followed by heavy rains the next few days after would just add fuel to the already potent flood danger. -

What a strange Winter. Normally if you told me that in mid-February my snow total for the season thus far would be 10 inches more that what Boston, MA has received, I would would say we're having a heck of a Winter. Not this year. Oh well, let's get ready for another 7 days or so of not needed rain. -
Bottomed out at 14 this morning.

It's really too bad that the airport is used as the official weather station for Asheville. The difference between downtown Asheville and Fletcher can be huge, especially in the Winter. -

I manage the ABC store. Us and Ingles are the most popular places in town when snow is in the forecast. Everyone stocks up on the three essentials, bread, milk and liquor! -

Nice steady snow across Haywood County on my drive from Maggie to Canton. Sticking to the grass but roads are fine so far. -

Looking over at the TN Valley forum, they were ready to give up on the event over an hour ago when the temps crashed and snow rates have really cranked up Knoxville to the east. I’m hoping that some us gan score a few inches out of this.
