Fun times ahead!

What was the result of the balloon sounding? I’ve been waiting to hear.

She's JUICY!

I may be mistaken, but I don't believe that's the LOW we're tracking. I believe that is the same surface low that showed up on the 12z NAM yesterday and was chalked up to a reflection of the northern stream wave.

That upper graphic is wild. There are 8 different QPF gradients in Henderson and Transylvania Counties.

Yea, I would say upsloping over the Black Mountains would be the plausible answer.

I'd kill for a Cedar Swamp, 12" of fresh powder and some sticky buns.

Exactly what I was about to say but in all fairness, they likely have the toughest forecasting region East of the Mississippi hence why they're habitually thorough.

I think you can extend that eastern heavy snow boundary all the way to the escarpment but overall a good sign. The latest ICON run looked good for WNC as well.

Yea it did! Looks colder overall.

Good call but overall a decent setup for the mountains. @franklin NCwx might be have the best seat in the house!

To be fair to Met, the mountains have had a few decent snow events during those years.

January 2022 not come close? It did for us.

It's heartbreaking to see our beloved mountains in the shape they are. But we will prevail! I hope everyone on this forum is safe and has what they need. If you do no not, do not hesitate to reach out!
