2026 Foothills thread

Yep, mixing was already a given in my mind as climatology says it usually is. I’m just hoping to see at least 50% of the QPF go to snow. Then ideally as little zr as possible but as long as it stays around 0.25-0.5 there shouldn't be too many issues. Frankly, none of that feels like too much to ask for. I could be really crazy and be clinging to the all snow GFS solution, but I'd like to think I've matured enough to know better lol

^ That is just unheard of at Hour 114. Wow! Two feet in Hickory?!?!

(I know it won't come to fruition like that, but that is an amazing model output with this small of a lead time.)

Oh, and how many traces does it take to equate to 23.5 inches?

Still don’t know the battle lines. Going to be a long few days. But damn it’s nice to look at ! Someone getting buried for sure.

I'd like to say I could just take that and be happy for you guys but I'd be lying. 2018 was sad enough, this would be worse.

Need to bring the full snowmap into this thread. I see it's up to 30ish inches now, when it's all said and done.

Phew. Remember how we felt at Christmas? Last year when we whiffed? We’re on track to make up for it and then some…

[WiseWeather]

It was always my worry. Less confluence. More Baja, literally everything we need to not happen is happening

We can’t win for anything. A real roller-coaster between the GFS and Euro. But, my real question is what happened to the high pressure and the locked in cold air?

[WiseWeather]

I’m id be concerned if this was thurs or friday but we still have plenty of time

[WNC_Fort]

Guys if this doesn’t pan out. I’m going to have to take a long break. 

[BooneWX]

Yea I’ll absolutely crash out and sign off for a while 

[BooneWX]

We’re going to get that infamous phase that’s been elusive for years and it’s going to be a mega hulk strength phase
