Sweet!  Ready to get my boat out on the water!  Gotta find the good in every season!

Well there was no good for our winter season.

the blowing snow flurries around Asheville last night and today has been nice to see.

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.  

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  Happy 30th anniversary to the Blizzard of 93

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.

 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

Are we gonna get dopped again by the models?  I feel like Charlie Brown..

That's what I'm talking about, everytime the models show a little snow the next day the snow is gone but whats new?

Euro says not so fast about the 10th. Storm in the midwest. 

GSP is just honking the horn about the POTENTIAL.  The signal is there.  Not a sure thing.

GSP honking the horn about colder and snow next weekend for the NC Mtns.  Possibly a Miller A, maybe a Miller B, not sure at this point, to early.  Things are starting to look very interesting according to GSP.

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.

Yeah...it's been a great winter for the rockies and the upper Midwest 

Hell I would like to get a couple of inches, unreal all the snow out there.

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.

Boy the weather is so crazy, snowing in Hawaii and us around Asheville  and surrounding areas in the low country can't get an inch.  

Yes very big dissapointment.  Even Asheville went from a possible 6-11 inches to not one snow flake.  I would have been happy with seeing some flakes at the least,

I don't believe we're closed yet, as we know especially in the mountains even around Asheville we've had storms produce a foot of snow in April.  Just one four inch snow and I'll be ready for spring.

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.

That backside is going to hammer the higher elevations in a few hours.

I hope it gets the low elevations a little.

It was 48 here in West Asheville about an hour ago now its 38 here.

The issuances are really for 3500ft and up.

That's what I was thinking as well but when it list the cities it has Asheville , Candler and everyone around close to Asheville, 

You know whats crazy is Asheville is in the Winter Weather Advisory and also the Winter Storm Warning and you go look at the hourly its all rain.  I'm confused on all this.  Guess they're not really sure what it's going to do

This thing could over perform just as easily as not in Asheville also.  If that upper low jogs just a little bit east and south is all we need.

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.

I meant the snow storm not the precipitation, how many times have we seen this from the models for the storm to come right back.

We have seen the models lose the precipitation about this time before just to bring it back tonight or tomorrow.
