    Pineapple Express was the name. That was long before the NOAA G-IV flew and long before the 53rd out of Kessler ventured out for Winter RECON missions!

    Back in the late 90s I would fly out from Houston to Reno to ski at the Lake Tahoe area slopes when the now named Atmospheric River events were showing up on the models! You can't go wrong in those events!

    At least we aren't the Mid Atlantic!

    And additional flow snow chances into next week! We are getting some very cold shots throughout the next couple of weeks. There is really no reprieve from cold temperatures in the foreseeable future! We are in for an active period for at least the next couple of weeks in prime climatology!

    The models continued to advertise a shorter duration event ending early pre-dawn Thursday morning. That said, I see a trend developing that we start as snow Wednesday afternoon with no mixing issues from the point when the front arrives. Another point is the higher ratios due to the very cold temperatures immediately behind the Arctic front.

    18 for my low this morning. Still looking like and Advisory event Wednesday night and Thursday morning. I noticed the NAM models where a bit juicier overnight at the end of their runs. Next weekend is still worth monitoring. It's going to be very cold late this work week with windchill indices at or below zero!

    The WPC Updated afternoon surface charts for 12Z Wednesday and 12Z Thursday.

    GSP in their afternoon disco suggest that we'll have a WWA event Wednesday night into Thursday for the Mountains.

    I am seeing a lot of positive trends in regards of the various computer schemes for the week ahead and even in the day 10 range. I'm seeing some potential for the Gulf upcoming as it is still very warm and capable of spinning up low pressure particularly along the NW and Central Gulf Coast. There is a decent stream of moisture from the Pacific heading our way along the Sub Tropical Jet. I'll be watching the Gulf carefully the next several days carefully.

    We are getting another snow shower in between breaks in the clouds. No accumulations and frankly I was a bit surprised that we would see snow today down to the Valley floor. Cataloochee is snowing and the snow guns are blowing! It should be a great week ahead for the ski areas with lots of opportunities to build back the snow pack!

    Actually, the Cabin got a 2 night booking Friday afternoon and added an additional night yesterday morning for MLK weekend! Fingers crossed the Guest Suite will book this week!

    Light snow in the Valley and roaring wind at times.

    Just emptied a bit over 2 inches from the gage. Looks like the heavier rain has shifted SE.
  14. Maggie Valley Steve
    Not too shabby of a trend through Thursday!
  15. Maggie Valley Steve
    I just had a clap of thunder!

    I'm praying for your Mom Powell. It's always tough when our parents are suffering.

    Afternoon update from the Climate Prediction Center regarding snow potential in the 7 to 14 day time frame.
  18. Maggie Valley Steve
    It probably about that time when we start seeing some crazy computer runs for next week and just beyond. We're getting some very beneficial rain today. Possibly some thunder tonight and tomorrow as well. Perhaps that old rule plays out this time!
  19. Maggie Valley Steve
    Looking like we're going to get some beneficial rain tomorrow and especially Saturday ahead of the cold front. The Northern Mountains could see some flow snow late Saturday night into Sunday. Next week looks real interesting regarding any possibility of wintry weather particularly from the 15th going forward!
  20. Maggie Valley Steve
    It certainly is! I do wonder what social media these folks could have seen that prompted them to cancel more than 2 weeks away. Cataloochee has been blowing snow since last Sunday night every night including Tube World.
  21. Maggie Valley Steve
    We got 2 cancelations for the short term rentals for MLK Holiday Weekend because of no snow. We could use a big storm about now.
  22. Maggie Valley Steve
    It never got above freezing today at the house. Currently 21 and calm.
  23. Maggie Valley Steve
    17 for my low and nothing at the house. Lots of rime ice above 4000 ft though. I did see a report of flurries in Waynesville.
  24. Maggie Valley Steve
    I've enjoyed our "thaw" this week knowing it's about to come to an end Monday. Currently it's 65 at the house after yesterday's high of 67. Tomorrow looks warm as well. Looks like a good day to get a motorcycle ride in! Monday could be tricky with just enough moisture post Arctic front to wring out NWFS in those favored areas along the border. Windchill is going to bring winter reality for sure!

    Merry Christmas folks! Dr. Neil Frank passed away this morning surrounded by his loving family praying and singing hymns lying in bed with his loving wife Velma of 73 years. Neil was 94.
