The Germans overthink everything.  Have you had a VW lately they fall apart because they have sensors that try to monitor everything.  My daughters VW fell apart within a year of purchase.

I feel your pain I made the mistake of buying a BMW once!

Downsloping shouldn’t be an issue with this system.

Mathmet, thank you for your input.  For you  new folks, this is a meteorologist who is pretty much an expert on mountain wave events among other things.  He knows how winds operate in the mountains.  I keep saying this...we have great mets in this forum.

Glad you’re on here. This might sound strange but going up the Camp Creek during a Mountain wave event is on my Weather bucket list.


.

I spent the night in a house near camp creek when I was younger, having never heard of mountain wave winds...I stuck my head out the window at least 4 times expecting a giant storm, as each gust sounded like the top was coming off the roof...pretty wild

Thanks for the compliment. I've been less active on weather forums in recent years, but I still enjoy reading the discussions on this forum.  There's a lot of great information here.

This looks like it’s becoming a significant event. I’ve been watching the models for a couple of days. Each run ups the precipitation. I think this will catch a lot of people by surprise because they are expecting wet snow where the roads are fine.

I agree, the widespread nature and cold conditions will cripple travel in the south, even with small amounts (if verified).  It should have the net effect of a winter storm warning type of event, minus the duration etc

I was actually toggled to the wrong map, it actually looks pretty similar to 18z overall. Still expect 1/2 to 3 inches for the forum. 

Cold air is diving down with vengeance,expect to still see some decent ratios with your orographics i think you might be in the sweet spot

NAM lost some qpf overall that run by the end of it. Kinda surprised me because it was similar or maybe even better at 500mb than prior runs. Especially dropped QPF in the Northeastern areas and some western areas. All in all still similar thoughts. There will be areas of 2-3 inches with maybe a few who pass 3, but by in large most will be in the .5 to 2 inch  range.

Agree!  SREF means fell too although marginally for TYS and CHA.  Up everywhere else.

I was about to post the 700mb humidity. That's the snow growth zone as a rule and it's great when you see humidity above 90 percent there. 

Old friend taught me a long time ago to watch the 700mb maps lol. Just looking at 3k PWAT trend, you can also see a subtle trend increase on it as well.
