    Maybe we can avoid Canada dumping all its cold at once this time and the Canucks will dole it out one 1038 HP at a time.

    That's awesome! Still rain here. You're above 2000' now, if I remember correctly?

    @BackpackingWeather Here is a photo of one of the more photogenic drifts on the AT near Cammerer : And this is at a pretty low elevation on the trail up to the AT from Cosby: https://i.imgur.com/LRLnICP.mp4

    And when I say "early" I mean within 3 hours of it starting.

    @BackpackingWeather Here is a video I took several years ago at approx this location on Bullhead Trail: This was pretty early in to a NW flow event at about 5700 feet. The video is only in SD, so it doesn't do the conditions justice. The wind was gnarly. I've seen hip high drifts (3.5') on the AT near Mt Cammerer after one of these events.

    How many rounds of thunder and rain did the TN Valley have today? 3?

    There's been some strat can kicking, but I'd say we're still under a Strat watch:

    And there it is. First negative SOI reading since (I think) November
  9. Holston_River_Rambler
    that is hands down the best LeConte/ Clingman's NAMing I've ever seen
  10. Holston_River_Rambler
    A more realistic total for LeConte, just to keep my posts in reality might be 6-12 on that NAM run
  11. Holston_River_Rambler
    Oh Lawd it was a Le Conte NAMing at 18z
  12. Holston_River_Rambler
    TBH I wouldn't be surprised if this (upcoming uplsope) is a situation where one of those vorts almost looks like a clipper with its precip heading down from the NW

    Kind of in a waiting for test and test results situation right now so thought I’d kill some time with what looks like a hopefully a good upslope set up. Hopefully that write up pans out lol.
  15. Holston_River_Rambler
    One thing I also like about this upslope is that the vorts rotating through seems to be positioned in just the right way to accentuate the Lake Michigan feed. The red arrows are vort lobes rotating in and the blue arrow is the fetch off lake Michigan. I'm not sure if it works the same way as a jet or not, but that should put places from the Smokies north in the left exit region of the vort max and help maximize not only the orographic lift but the PVA as well. There is a 500 wind max over east central MS as well: but that may be too far away to help much, The above were from the 12z 3km NAM just for resolution purposes. Euro has the two vort maxes too, just at a lower resolution.

    Getting my first real taste of cold air damming here in Durham today. That N. wind is legit.
  17. Holston_River_Rambler
    Hi res models have been pretty consistent with a fetch of Lake Michigan
  18. Holston_River_Rambler
    NAM and RGEM look pretty good for NW flow on the 6z runs.

    I was actually just looking at the control at H5 on southernwx and said hmmmm I bet Carvers has something to say about that…. thanks for all the good discussion the past few days. I have a sick family member in Duke Medical and am in Durham for a while this week. Not able to add a lot but trying to check in and see how things look periodically.
  21. Holston_River_Rambler
    Yeah, one sort of meta-pattern I've thought about for the past few days is that the 1.5 week cool downs interspersed with the warmer periods seem to be later in the month since Oct. So it may even be like the 23rd IMO, before the next big front tosses us a change up. I also feel like the Oct cold snap was worse than the Nov. one. If that's the case this months one may be less impressive than the Dec one (it would be pretty hard for it to be worse lol) and the Feb one may be worse than the potential Jan one. All that of course implies the repeating pattern is legit. Some of that is almost wooly worm level on my part though lol.

    UKMET for the bowling ball FWIW: I'm not even looking at precip. type for that, but guessing it is elevation dependent. Ukie does seem to be digging a bitmore than 0z.
  23. Holston_River_Rambler
    And just to be clear I’m not giving up totally on next weeks bowling ball, it could still trend better or we could get some good upslope. For the above (wrt the 20th) I’m just talking in terms of the long wave pattern.
  24. Holston_River_Rambler
    not looking good so far, lol sorry for the double post but the edit to the original wouldn't embed the picture.
  25. Holston_River_Rambler
    I honestly think we're looking at the 20th at least before we see a better and more average pattern in terms of temps.
