Pattern Jammin January 2023

[Iceagewhereartthou]

For those of us looking beyond this weekend (you know; since we aren't included in this one), The GFS, Euro, and CMC all indicate a return to more normal temps as we get into the 22nd or so. We have a quick couple of cool days now with a quick warm up again and the SER staying put for a bit, keeping us in the predominately warm pattern we've been in all month. The models seem to be showing that potential pattern change as we get farther out, but no fantasy storms showing up yet. For us non mountain peeps, this potential pattern change may be our best window, and possibly last if February goes like most other recent ones.

I'm not starting it. Nope. I know how bad juju works.

Then you have to listen to those clowns @Lickdork and @Myfrotho704 yuck it up all summer about the thread even though their hero webb said that system was going to snow. My line is in the sand

I'll start one

I'll start one

Go for it

There is a large difference between there and once you start heading up ski mountain road.

Considering driving up there tomorrow early morning and as many times as I've been to Gatlinburg I've never drove in the snow there. Do you know if Ski mntn rd stays clear? I want to avoid the tram if at all possible!
Edited to add, I can drive in the snow, more a question of if they close that road.

They usually do a wonderful job of keeping Ski mountain road and other roads around it in good shape. We will see what happens tonight.

Uh, well, should there be a separate thread for the eastern NC flurry watch? I just went through 6 pages of it this morning. I'd like to come to this thread to read about the nonpattern change coming in 10 days. Thanks. Lol ?

Done

Thank you!! It's going to be hell getting my girls moving in the morning and getting there by open.

Starting to come down a little better in Boone as well: https://www.resortcams.com/webcams/king-street-boone/



But there will be some wildly different amounts in the mountains (east face compared to west face, and elevation).

Not much snow on the grass but I did measure a 1/4 inch on the deck!
Would love to go about an hour east at higher elevation where they are expecting 2-3 inches. Temp was a tick above 32 when I woke up but is at 35 now, so a dusting is about all I expect here.

Really? I'm in Lavonia and didn't know I should even be on the look out for a flake. LOL. Now I have something to do later. Obsess...LOL

I seriously doubt anything gets down to Lavonia but Clayton has a shot at some flurries later this evening.

The SER win is very unfortunate but it is what it is

Yeah me too but it's not going to stop me from staring at the floodlight just in case?
Also a few days ago, a guy at a local car dealership told my hubby when he was delivering a package that it's going to snow Friday. Hubs said "where you getting your info from (he knows what I already told him...no snow)". Guy said nowhere but we have inventory and every single time we do it snows. Sooo....If we have one stinkin flake it snowed again at inventory time as far as I'm concerned. Bahahahahah

 

[Mitch West]

Huge burst of snow right as we pulled up to Ober Gatlinburg about an hour ago.

It's 44 in Clayton and mid 40's in most places around there.

Radar looks good especially upstream above this and that wind is howling. Gonna be some containment breaks
