Met1985 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 It's hard to jump on a snowy solution without the support of the euro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GFS has preformed well this winter. Not sure if it had anything to do with the upgrade in the summer. Something will eventually pass the Euro however.

I'm just being pessimistic currently. The models are all over the freaking place currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We certainly have had our share of boring weather and would be nice to be on the extreme side for a while. Maybe this is the slosh/rubber band theory that is in play.

I hope we can score. If we score this early I actually think we could score again later in the month. The AO looks great in the mid to longe range.

For us I think we should be cautiously optimistic. We are the mountains after all and unless the storm goes straight off the Florida coast or up through Kentucky, we're gonna get our share of it.

That's the difference in 1 to 2 inches or 1 to 2 feet lol. I could actually do wit the low cutting through Eastern parts of the carolinas to put us in heavier precipitation.

If only we could control it but probably a good thing we can't. If I could control it we'd be looking at non-stop blizzard conditions and temps peaking at 30 below.

Met1985 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Sounds like the EPS matches the euro op pretty well. It's hard to go against the EURO, EPS, CMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatLander48 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 And I'm not believing any model no matter how consistent until it comes ashore Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the 12z GFS had the biggest single snowstorm in my life so I was freaking a little too. But I'm able to realize that it's going to take every little thing to go right to have a storm like that. Looks good as my desktop background though.

I'm thinking there is a middle ground here. Shoot I'd take a foot and call it a storm. I'm not too picky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it will go down to the wire like they always do. Is it too much to ask for model consensus like the 93 superstorm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nchighcountrywx Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 Always to the wire and if WPC does not believe their own models you have an uphill battle 5 days out, but hey that's half the fun right? The timing of this one will be great at the peak of the winter. Hoping we can reel a good one in. Me: Cross Country Sticks and Poles and Snow Shoes will be ready for this weekend.....

Hvward Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 EPS looked abysmal for anyone wanting snow in WNC. For KAVL looks like only 2 or 3 members showing more than 1"-2". I will take whatever snowfall I can get but I would love to see more optimism from the EPS. I will say that it has been wrong before and I have seen the EPS make big switches a time or two before, but I would be much more confident in a decent snowstorm if more members were showing the possibility. 18z GFS looks like it will show another big se snowstorm for the third time in a row though.

Interesting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I personally like where we're sitting at this range. I can't imagine either the Euro nor GFS will continue verbatim much longer. Considering both are stern in their predictions, it wouldn't surprise me one bit to see a blend of the 2. Neither would a NW/warmer trend. Considering this piece of energy hasn't even been sampled yet, I'll gladly take where we're at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNC_Fort Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 It has been a while since the Mountains have been screwed out of a storm while our neighbors to the east cashed in big. Guess we are overdue. Not giving up hope yet though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's highly unlikely that the track goes unchanged at this juncture. I also think northern and or western adjustments are going to be much more likely than their counterparts. Just given previous storms of this nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just given previous storms is this nature. I agree. I was thinking this could trend further North than a lot of people want taking a majority out of the snow line. I could see a jump late in the week on the models which would be good for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncjoaquin Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 This is when I miss Robert. He had an uncanny ability to decipher models, but he also was great at meteorology and pattern recognition. Hurricane Tracker should be waking up from his early winter slumber soon also. I honestly would be happy to get a few inches just to avoid a shut out.

He was extremely accurate on precip amounts which is probably the hardest part to predict when it comes to NWFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
