  1. Yeah we are going to start burning prime climo time soon enough. I never had a good feeling about this winter though. I said RDU would likely zero out this year.
  2. I am sure it was a blast driving up the hill before descending into Williston. Anyway that is when you just go back to the lodge for a few more rounds
  3. Wow! I miss this kind of thing a lot! That reminds me of that qlcs style one I had a few years back up there.
  4. BTV got around 7 or 8 last I saw. Pretty solid forecast. On a side note it even briefly snowed down here in the NC Piedmont today.
  5. Looks like a nice early hit for my former home. Enjoy! Stowe is starting things off right as well.
  6. That is a nice way to start off Enjoy!
  7. I loved my time there. I miss it everyday.
  8. I went back over my aerials for better edits as my monitor was messing me up. Here are a few of those (I am aware the resolution on these attachments are squashed quite a bit):
  9. Yeah definitely get it in now if you can. That will be it after those winds
  10. The foliage has exploded on the rims of Linville gorge. Other good spots include the Pisgah national Forest above the Brown Mountain overlook on 181 and the west side of Grandfather Mountain
  11. Here are all the shots I got from Sunday along and near the BRP from Grandfather northward toward Boone. The good patches here were adjacent to green and brown areas. It is a patchwork to be sure.
  12. I looked up the Graveyard Fields and thought damn I should have gone there. I think it may be past peak up there being it is at 5,000 feet or so. I am trying to decide on tomorrow's attempt.
  13. Well after reviewing the aerials there were certainly some vibrant spots with gaps in between. I also need to say there is still hope for lots of it to turn in some areas. It won't be a blanket peak for sure as I have said, but certainly not all bad. I am also hopeful about the Hanging Rock area north of Winston a little later.
  14. I made a return trip today and was let down. Lots of brownout and leaf drop along the Blue ridge from 421 to Linn Cove. There were pockets of good color but overall it was underwhelming. Seems like three bad years in a row. Lower elevations still haven't turned much either.
  15. I will be posting ground and aerial shots of what I witnessed this morning. Coldest temp my car read was 33F by Price Lake. Anyway I think the foliage will do alright by Grandfather this year so long as there isn't too much blow down in the coming days. I don't think it will be a widespread blanket of peak color this year but there will be some photos to be had. I noticed a few areas in the distance with brownout ongoing, but still lots of green to change as well.
  16. I took a quick trip up very early this morning. Very frosty near Price Lake. Fall color was very patchy with moderate color just south of the Linn Cove Viaduct in a small area. I caught sunrise by that bridge and unfortunately two idiots were stopped on the road with their flashers on ruining the scene and also it was dangerous. I will make another attempt next week.
