wasn’t going to leave it to chance tomorrow morning IMBY. 2-3” of fresh snow on the Pisgah Ridge along the Jackson/Transylvania line

Appreciate you sending pics on your journeys. So many 5-6000 ft peaks. I use to slip up to waterrock knob (6200 ft) on the pkwy back in the day more times than i can count Different world

It was a little sketch going up to Beech Gap today, but clear on the way down with temps above freezing and plows. Downright warm in the valley, upper 40s or more. Clouds hanging on back at the house
 
You have to remember that these things tend to end up farther north and west from where models are showing at this range

Not necessarily it depends on if you have blocking and where it’s coming from . With the blocking that is currently showing up it would have a hard time going much further north just in my opinion

Posted about it last night, but the EPS is a little warmer with more ridging leading in to this time period compared to say the AI Euro Ens / Weathernext. But long way out for all of this stuff of course regarding how it goes with temperature / storm trends
 
Here are the last 12 runs of the AI Euro Ens - 48 hour snow for Jan 27-29

Now here is today’s 12z run (there is a glitch on SV where you can’t select the most recent run on trend loops for this particular map, but you can in others, which is weird). But anyway, nice looking mean here

This like 8 euro ai runs in a row with a monster winter storm in the southeast? For the same timeframe? The level of disappointment I’m gonna have if this doesn’t work out will be record breaking. I’ve literally never felt so good about a day ten threat. It’s scary.

There should honestly be more discussion about this than the event tomorrow. We don’t get looks like this very often. This is once a decade stuff.
 
Well, I just thought yesterday’s run looked good. View these nsfw ensemble pics at your own risk. ⚠️

A LOT of boom/bust scenarios here. For GSP, 12 show a big dog; purple/pink/teal. But on the other hand; 17 (or about 1/3) show nothing at all or just a "dusting." This far out its doesn't mean much either way; just that there is a possible system at the time frame. Way too early to get drawn in by the means or pretty colors though. Naturally all us nerds will keep an eye out but just a word to the wise; control expectations and especially hopes.

12 big dogs at a ten day lead is insane. It implies that the goal posts for this event are massive. Think of how far off each perturbation of the run by that time, and yet 12 of them are still hammer jobs?

I think as long as a majority of the polar vortex doesn’t drop out west in the day 7-8 range, we’re getting smacked. Euro and gfs are wanting to dump more out there, but I’ll bet the ai models/means are gonna win that battle.

That said, we need to make sure that happens and hold on to this look for another day or two… then whew…. We might finally be tracking something a lot less stressful than normal.

Let’s also appreciate the look for late next week; bit of a ridge pops but torching looks very unlikely this time around. Four days with highs forecast in the mid to upper 50s for me. Just a seasonal break that’s hardly warmer than climo.
