Been that way for quite a few runs.
Not a fan. I'm west of the fall line (but not by a ton) and have a few hundred feet of elevation, but verbatim I don't like it.
I don't want to pass on 3-6" if we can get it because it seems to me that the midweek thing is even more up in the air, but it would be hard to watch if North Carolina gets blasted next week while we smoke cirrus at 5F.
In theory, it should learn that if the Euro was overdoing the burying of energy in the Southwest then the next panels shouldn't leave that energy behind.
It'll be super interesting to see what ultimately plays out given how steady the Euro AI has been.
If you average like 4x the amount of snow and it falls throughout the season and your infrastructure is meant to handle it, then it shouldn't be surprising in the least!
I distinctly recall that in one of bigger winters recently (maybe 2013-2014?) that folks around here just eventually got on with things once we kept getting snow and it stuck around for a while. A few inches here or there just didn't have the impact it would have had if it had been one of the only events we got that year.
I'm liking the idea of 3-6" of cold smoke, but I'm convinced that if we max on Sunday then the midweek thing is toast due to wave spacing or energy being left behind or vorts squashing or someshit that I know nothing about.
It’s been steady with the Sunday event the last couple days and I’m of the opinion that what happens with the second wave will be a direct result of what happens with the first. Makes sense if the CMC hits us next week given what it’s got for Sunday.
11/21: T - grauplets
11/22: T - SnowTV for an hour or so, followed by drizzle
12/1: T - on-and-off small snow showers for about an hour
12/24: T - some light sleet in the morning left a coating
1/3: 0.75” - squall/thundersnow
1/5-1/6: 9.0" - bumped a little based on local spotter reports
1/11: 1.0" - pretty little weekend thing
1/14: T - light snow shower late in the evening
Seasonal Total: 10.75"
Seems to me that, if the Sunday thing turns out, then that affects the ability of the next wave to turn the corner. Either way, we have quite a few shots coming up, which is pretty much all we can ask for!
