The EURO again stunk things up.

Per usual the past 12 months. It’s not like it’s only bad to one of its bias but it’s just bad period right now. Overrunning events, SW cutoffs, Nw flow. I don’t get why people (including Mets) keep hugging it. Especially with how bad it’s been in our area, just brutal.

Did you see the graph Griteater posted during the last event? It is now 0 for 6. The GFS has actually done the best but just barely.  The models have been not so good this season with snow events.

Yes that was a really good visual he posted. I’ll be honest and can’t believe I’m saying this, I’d trust the NAM at 84 over any global right now.

The NAM has done the best job inside 84 hours absolutely.  It may be a little too over amped here and there but I think this season it has outperformed every other model so far.

I can always tell when you guys are getting hammered. We went from crystal clear skies in the foothills to a dense cloud deck just a few miles to the west and some streamer clouds racing overhead. Wish I was about 10 miles further west. Enjoy it!

We are still getting hammered this morning.  It hasn't let up at all. Roads are a mess, the winds will cut right through you. Good times!

Congrats Met, Joe and Buckethead.  Light snow here, about 1/4” of Fresh accumulation but you can tell the first dusting melted and froze as well as the wind blew it around so maybe closer to 1/2” total from when it started last night to now if I had measured the correct way with a snowboard and by the interval.  Wife had to drive to Asheville at 3:30 am and said it was snowing hard from here to there but nothing on the way back. Adding my penny to the piggy bank.  1.5” to go to hit double digits for our first full winter season here, I‘m gonna be confident and think we can do it by the end of April.

Yeah this was more of a classic NWFS so you kind of get shadowed out that way. Its amazing the difference in trajectory makes across the county. I guarantee you will hit double digits by April.

Oh yea.  We get shadowed by Lynn Lowry badly since we are at the base.  I’d love to be at the one house I wanted above 5000’ in the Mt Sterling area next to park.  Bet they got hammered.  I’ll take anything I get in flow snow due to how we are situated, we actually managed our largest snow this year in the one event where trajectory was better for us, 2.5”.
