  1. GSP talking about a low that forms off the Texas coast next Tuesday and they'll  be watching that carefully with the low staying south and east of the mountains with the cold temps will have to keep an eye on that next Tuesday and Wednesday time frame, the weather channel showing heavy snow for Asheville next Tuesday night time frame.  Still a glimmer of hope.

  2. weather channel showing heavy snow for Asheville next Tuesday March 21st with high of 36, I wish.  GSP saying next Tuesday a low pressure will form off the Texas coast and swing south and east of the area next Tuesday night, that with the cold temps they'll have to keep an eye on next Tuesday Wednesday time frame.

    March and April nowadays are about the only months of the year that can produce persistently below normal temperatures.  However, the normal high for March 13 is 58 F; so you really can't expect February style warmth in March:arrowhead:  Happy 30th anniversary to the Blizzard of 93:snowing:

    Yes, I will never forget that storm.  That winter was like this one we had no snow and were wearing shorts to work as a mailman then a couple of days later the storm of the century.  :snowing:

     The 18Z GFS along with recent runs has near record cold over the N Plains 3/17-18. It may be overdone due to snowcover assumptions, but regardless this shows the potential for a very potent cold airmass to come out of Canada then. I'm mentioning this only because most models then have this airmass plunge into the SE shortly after (3/18-20). Some runs, including this one for 3/19-20, have been showing the coldest of this airmass to be colder than the prior one for the SE.

    Isn't there a storm signal about this time frame also

    The 12Z Euro has 850 temps down to -10 to -11 C in my area at 12Z on March 12th! Although it is likely overdone, that could very well be the coldest 850 so late in the season. I mean that's very cold for midwinter, much less March 12th.

    Where is a storm or two with that cold, seems its cold and rain or cold enough for snow and sunny.  We can't win.

  6. Well maybe all this warmth is telling us something, I remember the week before the blizzard of 93 wearing shorts that whole week and could not believe the snow and cold from that storm.  Maybe there's something to getting this warm this time of year and a nice snow storm.  I'm not giving up just yet.  Maybe come April I will let it go but not till then.  :snowwindow::snowing:

    Was trying to find this data yesterday and couldn’t but Ski Southeast posted numbers that show how terrible this winter has been snow wise for everyone in the Apps from WV southward. So even those of us with elevation are hurting this year.  Don’t know the worst year in terms of snowfall in the last 20 years but I feel like year to date this has to be up there.  Let this hybrid La Niña die a fast, painful death not to return for a few years.

    How about never returning.  I was hoping this would be a good snow for everyone.  I don't look for another chance this winter the way its going.  Boy Thursday night models were looking good then Friday went down hill.  I was hoping for at least four inches then I would say come on spring.  I haven't seen a flake of snow out of this and probably won't.  I'm sure we'll turn cold in a couple of weeks and won't be able to find a low anywhere close.  :axe:

    I believe the mountains are in pretty good shape actually. Having lived here as long as I have, I can't count how many times we've seen models struggle in the 24-36 hour time frame before an event only to swing back to where they were previously. The dynamics are still in place IMO. Heavy precipitation should force just enough cooling for most of us at 2,000 feet elevation and up. We all know any event can go sideways, but I still think many here will be please on Sunday.

    My thoughts exactly, For those of us that have lived here a while we've seen this before.
