Moonhowl Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Twice as warm this AM as last; 14 F compared to 7 F. Looks like a little bit of cloud cover kept the temps up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Penland Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Temp has stalled out at 28. Warmest it's been since Thursday, though. Feels like a sauna lol. Welp, made it to a grand total of 29º. Back to 27 now, hopefully we break freezing before the light rain gets here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can get above freezing it'll be the first time since Thursday afternoon when we made it briefly to 35. Idk how many hours that is but it's a lot.

Tyler Penland Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Gosh, 1.95mb limit had to step these down ha. The first two were taken on a bitterly cold Sunday hike (5º with wind gusts to 40 on Rough Ridge, 20-30 on the Parkway proper) and Linville Falls on Monday. Went sledding and played on a frozen lake today. Love the cold/snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Topped out today at 57.2°. What a difference a couple of days can make. Almost no snow left with the exception of the plow berms. Going on our winter vacation tomorrow for 10 days so don't let it snow until I get back. By the way it looks I don't think that'll be a problem.

Hvward Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Have a good vacation Joe! When you get back I think we could be eyeing a big snowstorm. I love what the 00z Euro was showing. Mountain special with a widespread 6"+. Still a long long way out, but this is what you want the pattern showing. The split flow looks to kick up and rain will be the story over the next 6-9 days in WNC, then A strong -NAO manifests locking in cold over the mountains as a LP travels the SC coast. Classic mountain snowstorm setup. Still nothing certain of course but once again this is what you want to see. Would love to see that block get a little more stout, but 10 days out we sit in a great spot to watch models.

FlatLander48 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I get off the forum for 2 days and I already forgot about the wedge this weekend. So if you see a guy in short-sleeves walking in the 40 degree rain, it's me. Mid-long term note - if we can get close to the pattern that we are seeing in the models, we're going to be in a nice spot come end of the month.

Met1985 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Things still look good for the end of the month. The usual model differences but I still think we are right on schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 The cutoff low is interesting to watch. If it stays south and really revs up we could be looking at a heavy rain to heavy snow threat possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Two things that I'm seeing in the future of us here in the moutains. First is I'm expecting a lot of rainfall especially next week with the cutoff low coming right over us. Second is that if this is northern stream dominate I see a ton of energy coming down off the trough right into the mountains. The 18z would burry the boarder counties. Just an observation.

May have to go up on Roan Mountain Sunday afternoon if things look close. Euro has been the best looking so far but the GFS is close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnweathernut Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 BIG negative SOI burst today. 18 Jan 2017 1007.79 1008.80 -26.47 Today marks the 6th negative day in a row.

Met1985 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Man today is just picture perfect. Just an absolute gorgeous day out. If I did not love snow and cold so much I could deal with this all year long but I love cold and snow lol. Still today the runs on the gfs and Euro look good. Cold, clippers, and more cold.

FlatLander48 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Gonna be honest, if all we have is clippers, I'm really not interested in the upcoming pattern out of wondering how long and powerful the cold will be. Clippers on my side of the county don't cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
