thank you!

My plan is to get to Beech around 8 or 9am and of course get some shots and enjoy for bit.
-
My plan was to go through Boone to 105 and through Sugar Mountain/Banner Elk to Beech.
-
The good news is they get snow more frequently than the once every 3 or 4 years we are at now.
-
I assume I can drive to Beech Mountain without interfering with any Helene relief operations and/or recovery efforts. I am guessing they would be good for 4-6 or so.
-
I am debating is this worth a chase for me on Friday.
-
Way too late for the Mountains at this point. They are pretty much in stick season up there. As for out here in the Raleigh area it was a bad year due to an extended dry stretch. There was some color but a lot of early leaf drop with some trees just browning out. We have a second wave of color happening now with any trees that have remaining leaves.
-
what did you end up with?
-
I would agree. Another warm winter incoming.
-
The La Nina blast furnace rolls on.
-
Should I just go ahead and start the Countdown to Winter 2025-2026 thread now?
-
No it sure didn't
-
Another La Nina gives RDU a real shot at the snowfall futility record of zeroing out 3 years in a row.
-
A tale of extremes for sure! The fire danger is definitely growing. The official RDU rain total for the month is 0.01"

This stretch of low humidity weather has been enjoyable for sure but it is getting dry again.
-
First frost on the rooftops here in Raleigh this morning.
-
Exactly what I was thinking. It was the southern version of that. As it stands I didn't get a chance to look at how the foliage season turned out up there this year. Always nice to see the early snow as a reminder that yes winter will return.

The snowliage made it to western NC below the highest elevations which were entirely defoliated by Helene on the eastern slopes (not my pic) Here is a video of the devastation to the trees along the Blue Ridge https://x.com/matt_vanswol/status/1845913514814140427?t=S_LTOrgCENnWGTEl-27sEA&s=09

Time to revive this thread now that the mountains had their first snow. As for those east of there in NC I think we zero out for a third consecutive year with the return of a dreaded La Nina.
-
There were plenty of dull and/or still green areas but there were pockets of solid color along Skyline drive in some areas (10/15). I am assuming this is a bit late for sure. We decided to head up with western NC being essentially off limits.

Very cool and you can say that again! I got this view from Raleigh:

GFS hinting at some flakes in the mountains around 10/16:

Don't forget the comet at sunset.

Given we have had a couple of significant and rare aurora events this year and solar max will persist into 2025 a bit, I am creating this thread for spaceweather events here as well. Other interesting celestial phenomena can be posted here too. These were my final edits from the 10/10/24 event:
