CAD_Wedge_NC Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 FWIW, the 18z DGEX has snow across much of Western NC down to the northern tip of the Upstate. Map.....? I would like to see what the good ole DGEX spits out for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Just to reiterate, the 6Z/18Z DGEX is a 90-192 hour extension to the 84 hour 6Z/18Z NAM. Keeping in mind the tendency for the 84 hour NAM to be quite inaccurate vs., say, the 84 hour GFS or 84 hour Euro, I always take the DGEX with a huge grain of salt...i.e., just pure entertainment.

rduwx Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Possibly the best looking member out of all of the 18z GFS ensemble members. I haven't seen this kind of fantasy depicted since the 0z GFS's 384 New Year's image, and sadly that's all this is: Fantasy but wouldn't it be such a twist if this happened despite the horrible winter? Figured I post for the entertainment. That's a disappointment...I'm only in the 18 to 20 inch range and a few counties to my west are getting 25 inches. That just isn't right!

burgertime Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Man.....that would be incredible. Even though it's only one member, you still have to wonder what it saw differently from the others and what would have to happen for it to verify. Where's Brick?

tarheelwx Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Here are some reasons I think we have a shot at something next week patterns tend to repeat themselves and the situation next week looks similar to that of this past weekend Surface high pressure for next week looks a bit stronger than what we just had There will be much colder air on this side of the pole this time around.

Met1985 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 This weekend looks interesting for the mountain regions to see some upslope snow. Might just be light but still nice to snow flying in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griteater Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 March 2-3, 1927 Snowfall Accumulation Map. In looking at past storms, this one is the most impressive that I've found with respect to widespread, large accumulations across the state. Where did you get that map if you don't mind me asking?

rduwx Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Well the storm is still there on the 0z gfs for next Wednesday to Friday timeframe. That's about all we can look for right now w/ it being so far away. I'll start paying closer attention to details if it's still there on Friday.

Where did you get that map if you don't mind me asking? I got the map from the AMS Journals Online. The map is actually total monthly snowfall for March 1927, but it gives a good representation of the snow that accumulated during that snowstorm since no snow fell, with the possible exception of the mountains, for the rest of the month. Eric, It is AWESOME to see you posting! Long time-no see Bro! I hope all is well! I make a cameo appearance every now and then. I hope you are doing good.

ATL_Militarypolice Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Euro at 168 has cold dropping south with southern stream wave of energy moving into Texas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Well this mornings run of the GFS looks like this weekend snow for the mountains looks pretty good. May have to start a thread for this one but from what i have been reading the Euro and GFS has very diff solutions to this weekends storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCSNOW Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 6z GFS has back to back app runners for mid to late next week on this run. Climo wise the next 2 weeks are normally the back end of winter outside the mtns minus the rare occasions such as March 1960. Seems like where due a first week of March storm. Anyway check out south Texas latter this week, cold really makes a deep run for late February, even though it's transient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgertime Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I like that the Euro still has an alright pattern at least for the Carolinas. We'll be threading the needle again but if we can eek out one widespread good event that'll be good. Plus it's always fun to watch and analyze. BTW the Canadian doesn't look good. No real cold air to work with in the 180 - 240 time frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Looks like what Foothills was talking about earlier in the season. If I recall, he was confident that a cut-off would deliver a big snowstorm to someone before this winter was over. If future runs pick up on this, and if other members get on board with the idea, we should name it "The Robert Storm". Will be interesting to watch this unfold. I'm afraid we just had the Robert Storm. We can still hope for another though. This weekend looks interesting for the mountain regions to see some upslope snow. Might just be light but still nice to snow flying in the air. Agree; and, ironically while the Coast may still be storming. Lingering moisture and a real 850 temp crash behind the front should bring the northwest NC mountains accumulating upslope snow above 3,500 FT. Edit: Little s/w through WV could try to concentrate moisture up that way, and delay best wind direction over NC mtns Friday eve. However I expect a few hours of sticking snow showers for northwest NC mtns late Friday night into pre-dawn Sat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoWeatherman Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I think this most interesting weather possibility coming up in the next 3-4 days is the potential for a surprise deep southern Texas snow hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarheelwx Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 12Z Doc LR....meh. Not far from ice for the cad regions of NC at 168. HP over the lakes and sliding east, winds NNE, low dewpoints as precip is starting to slide in. Any pros care to comment on what the euro is showing?
