    Just reading about China having one of the coldest winter periods they've ever experienced. They've been in the ice box all month. Beijing has set the record for hours below freezing in a month. Some areas are hitting -40c and there's been major snow storms and blizzards. Eventually we'll get hit with that kind of unusual pattern, It was close in 2021 when it went to Texas and our western forum members got the edge of it.

    2021. The SSW started January 5th and lasted through the 23rd or so. It was an ice box in February but mostly from the Plateau and west. It's the year Texas froze. 2018 was just brutal but it was late winter and we froze in March instead of it happening at a decent time. There was a weak on in January 2015 as well. We were extremely cold then too.

    Saw a story a week or so ago that a major strat warming was coming. Hopefully we get the cold and not the other side of the world, if it does split.

    The GFS and Canadian both have a snow event and it's a week out instead of 300+ for a change.

    The CFS from this morning was quite incredible. If this comes to pass, barring a drought of epic proportions of some very unusual cutters that open the dry ice box, we'd likely pile up winter events forum wide. To put this in perspective these aren't far off January into Early February 1985 numbers and are spot on Jan/Early Feb 1996 numbers.

    Been under a persistent NW flow band for several hours but it's light and has only amounted to a dusting. I would guess above 2500 they are probably gonna be closer to 1/2 to 3/4ths of an inch.

    Picking up here as it gets dark, which seems to usually be the case in these type events.

    Another snow shower rolling through with extreme winds. There was no graupel or anything. Just plain snow.
  9. John1122
    Had a 5 minute horizontal snow shower. Looks like another about to move over.
  10. John1122
    It does appear I'm barely missing a snow shower according to radar.

    Sunny skies here but the wind is so strong it blew a panel off my porch roof.
  12. John1122
    MRX updated and said weaker 850s meant less flow snow. But said SWVa was still likely to get snow showers. I'm down to a 20 percent chance now.
  13. John1122
    Hoping against hope to see some flakes but it looks like now even places like LeConte won't see much of anything.
  14. John1122
    I see the GFS has it's annual "John is going to be in Chattanooga for New Years, lets have a massive snow storm" threat.
  15. John1122
    It was definitely a Namming. Drops 3 inches on me. I'm hoping for legitimate snow showers. I will say this, the ground is nicely chilled. I've been in the low to mid 20s all week in the mornings. Drops quickly to freezing just after dark and with these long nights, we've been spending a good 12-14 hours a night below freezing. My low for tonight is predicted at 33, but it's 31 already.

    The way things are going now, we may not even get rain in the area from the system.
  17. John1122
    0z GFS drops 2 or 3 feet on LeConte. Eventually a few snowflakes maybe in the air in the lower elevations. Probably too extreme with its solution.
  18. John1122
    That track on the 12z GFS should be an epic winter storm Dec-Feb but we can't get any cold air. I think we had a similar event in 2017-18ish. Whichever year it was that the gulf got snow storms and we couldn't even with a perfect track a few weeks later.
  19. John1122
    Just a couple days ago we were forecast to get the holy trinity. -NAO/-AO/+PNA as we headed into Christmas and beyond. The models have flipped on the AO/NAO in the last 24 hours or so.
  20. John1122
    Several hours of heavy rain already. We may not be in a good pattern for winter but we're at least in a different pattern than Sept through most of November.
  21. John1122
    The RAP and HRRR are much faster with the arrival of cold air than the other models like the NAM and RGEM. They have snow falling around my area by noonish Sunday. They move the moisture out faster as a result though.
  22. John1122
    The 12z nam taketh away what the 06z giveth. The RGEM is much more consistent but generally much lighter than the best of the NAM runs, which are bouncing from 2-4+ inches to nothing much at all outside the highest peaks, from run to run.
  23. John1122
    The 18z NAM stepped to and beyond the RGEM on the back side of the weekend system. Especially for the Eastern Rim/Western Plateau area. The 0z backed off.
  24. John1122
    Looks like the short range models are getting more optimistic about the back side snow potential on Sunday. The 18z NAM has some decent snow showers and the 12z RGEM looked like it was doing well too. Waiting to see the 18z. 18z NAM

    Thanks for letting us know. I hope you get well and get back out there. You went through alot and hopefully all the set backs are over and your hard times are in the rear view!
