SnowNiner Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 No blocking is no bueno. High go bye bye. Maybe the blocking in week 4 of the weeklies and the CFS will show up and save us. Or maybe it'll come in April like it normally does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The in situ cad would work. **talking hypothetically at hour 384 In situ almost always changes to rain, but in extreme situations, like 384 GFS land, it often does work. Even if we were to get some front end ice out of that, we'd take it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a situation (last year / two years back???, memory is foggy) where we were suppose to have front end ice, then jump above freezing, and have mostly rain. We started off so cold by the time the temp approached freezing the precip had ended. I'm in the mind set of -> lets get the cold air and then see what happens.

It always seems like the highs never remain in place anymore and virtually always the low is screaming along at 60 to 80mph. For once it would be nice to get one that just inched along and lasted a few days instead of a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CADS have always had our backs the last few years. They've always trended colder and colder... And if CR would just take his snowshields off everybody would get their stinkin snow.

The last time I tried to manipulate the snow shields, we had a disastrous winter. We have to let the snow bring the shields down. By the way, how did the Euro look?

Euro wasn't bad, but I was going to say something like, "pray over the weekend that the GFS is a better model than the Euro" GFS is much more amplified with the ridge up thru W Canada into E Alaska Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfan98 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 For those interested, JB shows how the SOI can effect our weather in his free video today. Well worth watching in my opinion. https://www.facebook.com/weatherbellanalytics/videos/1380543615344150/ And I also found a website that shows the recent and historic SOI data: https://www.longpaddock.qld.gov.au/seasonalclimateoutlook/southernoscillationindex/30daysoivalues/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just cold from the mid-west pressing down. A little late for most of us I might add. I got a couple inches so I can't complain too much though. If we would have had even a little wedging in that storm I think it would have made a big difference for everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About equals the date of the biggest snowstorm ever down here (too bad it was 1899 and it may have been a once in a 500 year event, but it was a storm in February - my Great-Grandfather used to tell me stories about how the cows didn't know what the drifts on the fences were, how the cows tried to walk up the drifts and got tangled in fence wire and froze) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 CMC (12z) looks good at 240!

Ahh , the good old days, when warm noses and NW trends, were nonexistent! the nw trend was good for me in the last storm, started out 13 weather said Asheville would be lucky to get 1-3 and probably the low side of that and I ended up with 7 inches, Jason didn't think the storm would trend that much nw but it surely did. He did come around the day of the storm and put Asheville in the 3-6 range, all and all Jason does pretty good I guess. Seems there is always 98 percent of the time a nw trend to most of the storms.

It's kind of hard to only put 1 to 3 inches when the NWS has a winter storm warning out for you for like 5 to 7 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timothy Clyde Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Good and bad news. Pattern is really favoring a colder outlook with clipper systems and n-w flow snow for the southern Appalachian mountains. It is possible a light to moderate super clipper could occur but we won't know that until very close to the event. The bad, well, we are really washing things out this as we draw January to a close with a significant severe weather maker across the South. I believe the problem will be lack of moisture with the cold air at night. I still very much rule out late Jan and early Feb. If we can score a coop, with moisture, I still expect in to be mid Feb or after. Not the first week of the month. No way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
