Need this to Amp up sooner to make it a decent event

I’m with you, I wish I would’ve got the big totals some of the others got, but it just didn’t work out. But hey after the torch of December we had any Snow was a win in my book! The max at one time here on the ground is right now which is about 3”. I don’t understand why there so upset we look to be entering a epic pattern.

Head up to highlands.  Even scaly has 14"

Easily 18" here in highlands.  Snow has finally stopped but the wind is ripping and it's 21

Is it moving slower than expected? Curious what y'all think.

Maybe an hour or two. Plenty of moisture to roll through overnight!

Lots of qpf falls before the warm nose comes in briefly.  Then it's gone and the wrap around band works through with Temps in the 20's. I'll take it!

Spaghetti all around, it seems.  Except for @Met1985.  He’s going high class with the ribeye.  

Lol... big time in haywood County. I'll have a big pot of chili tomorrow 

Almost home from Atlanta and wife has spaghetti ready too. When did this turn into the panic thread

Boyer just updated totals.

Marshall 1"

Waynesville 5"

Everyone west of the Balsams 1-4"

Most of the higher totals are East of Asheville and around Cashier's and Toxaway

Dude must be hugging the nam. I would go with 4-8 for Graham and swain. 6-12 for Macon and Jackson.  Over 12 for highlands cashiers 

Let Brick start it! It usually does when he starts it

Perfect transfer on the rgem. Solid run!

From GSP... they're not buying the nam.

The mountains, meanwhile are on track for a mostly-snow
forecast.  The warm nose should not penetrate into the Appalachians.
Profiles here appear to remain well-saturated and sub-freezing
through most of the event

Good morning folks. It's been enjoyable leading up to the storm. The WPC just updated the Surface Low Track forecast. 

6z rgem lines up well with this track.  And still has snow falling Monday morning!

Ya'll know that in order to cash out on the highest snow totals, you have to be able to smell the rain    Seriously though, good luck everyone!! I hope not to be encased in ice so that I can get out and take some pictures of the winter wonderland

Absolutely! And the sleet

If any of you guys follow DT / WXRISK on Facebook or Twitter..He's saying short range models are very concerning, coming in much warmer. States the possibility of a lot more Ice and much less snow in all of WNC 

Rgem looked good

Yeah we don't live nor die by one model run. The top dog models have been stellar these past several days.  Hold steady gents. There is a thing as too much model watching. You'll make yourself go crazy.

This!

Told you guys that Brick starts the thread and he jinxed it. I was spot on for this storm.

 

Stop grasping at 240 hr maps, total weenieism

I'll let him start every thread if this is what we get!

Ouch. Do you have one for my area?

For Morganton it has 2.5 inches of snow with 1.4qpf.  For Asheville it has 5 inches and 1.5 qpf. Probably some big Rainers in that run

Just now, strongwxnc said:

Hoping the backside really comes through


.

Me too

Just now, wncsnow said:

Means the NAM is gonna suck too. Figured it might torch the mid levels even worse than last run..

Probably.  It's dropping 1.5 qpf with 5 inches of snow

SREF plumes look like crap! We toss!

I don't really believe there will be a changeover to sleet or freezing rain in the mountains at the height of the precipitation.  Call me a weenie but it just doesn't look right to me.

I think we have a brief, very light changeover as the low transfers and we lose lift. By that time the heavy forcing has come through with most of the event. Then we wait on the backside upper low to swing thru.

^ nice, thanks!

No 18z euro update?

This NAM run kinda sucks. Its further south which allows for less moisture with the front end, but still switches over. Will be lower totals. 

It's an improvement over 12z but it's the slowest model and struggling with the transfer
