Really? Lol. I bet they talked over it...the silence was the best part.

It had pretty decent amount of air time; they looped  your video 2 or 3 times but yes, they did not give it the peaceful silence it called for ;)

You know the models dont look that bad. Im kind of excited about the next few weeks.

To be honest it seems like an average/seasonal temp pattern with storm opportunities. That produces way more often than when an Arctic outbreak occurs. I’m right there with you.

We're close...to something around February 1st. Lack of cold air could be a killer if the storm comes back NW. But honestly it's all we have besides potentially some wrap around NWFS this weekend. As for the 45 day forecast...that's a 45 day forecast that takes us to the middle of march? I'm not promised at all by that. but guess it's better than what we have now...

Euro looks ok...overall I think as of now it is the best look. But were still in that 8-11 day range so until we get closer I'm keeping my hype at a 0.

Im still very interested in this weekend with the cold crashing in with a nice upslope look to the models. Next weekend is nice but meh currently.

I'm not very optimistic on this weekend yet. To me the orientation of it doesnt seem to be the greatest this far south. That can of course change but further north I think will be a better spot to get some good action. And though the NAM is in long range territory still, it looks dry from what I can see.

Was worried we were losing the NW flow event this weekend but GSP seems to be leaving the door open.  

While it looks to be a relatively prolonged period of NW
flow snow, the guidance doesn`t agree on if the snowfall amounts
will be significant. The wind speeds and directions and the CAA are
good but not great. However, there area multiple short waves
dropping through the flow across the area and weak low level
instability which are favorable. Keep low PoP across the usual areas
through the period and will have to keep an eye on the situation for
any potentially significant snowfall.

Good catch in the discussion.

An interesting look going into Monday on both the ICON and GFS. Noticed several Euro ensemble members show that wave blossoming that moves in behind the NWF as well.

looks a bit different, but add the CMC as well. I'm more excited by that than the upslope "event" this weekend.

I guess its something but still a long shot 

 

Not a far as one may think. These waves have developed before on the tail end of a cold front for nice surprise events here in WNC. It’s easy to say snow is a long shot, and you won’t be wrong in most cases. ..But I still enjoy discussing the upcoming pattern and diving into the details.

I'm pretty optimistic about the next 10 days man! Thanks for your input, as always.

This is what I was talking about earlier in the week about the pulses of energy rotating in. Good stuff Ward!

Man, sunday night and monday morning is getting a little sneaky. Canadian and GFS are very close it seems like. I am hoping for a surprise in the mountains in Gatlinburg this weekend. We will be leaving Monday around lunch. 

 

9 of 20 members from the GEFS have 1 inch of snowfall in Knoxville, so maybe they are sniffing something out. EPS will be interesting at 12z
