Looking at the long range, I think we’re done with wintry weather outside of the mountains so I hope everyone got their fill. I do think we have one more cold shot to go, possibly an extended one, before we go permanently to spring. Putting out pre emergent before this rain! Don’t forget it this month if you hate crabgrass. If you’re putting it down in March you’re too late

ME!!!!!! I yearn for an 75° evening, active bass after an afternoon pop up storm, my choice of fly rod or baitcaster, a packed lip and a beer. Let’s go!

I hope it trends warmer. I don’t see snow on the table with this one, and I’m more than fine missing out on ice. Just give me the beneficial rain and let it wash the salt off the road. I still have a sleet pack from 2 weeks ago that refuses to melt.

Transient high lowers the likelihood but winter has been winter this year, so why not? Been a long time since I’ve seen wet cement falling.

They played a hell of a game but it hurt my Tobacco Road heart to see them storm the floor lol.

Yall should go look at the euro

I mean, sure why not .

Next weekend has legs. Enjoy your two day torch! Winter just keeps on wintering.

KJKL radar looks pretty juicy. Delayed but not denied.

It’s absolutely dumping snow in Mount airy at the moment with the temp dropping like a rock, per family

I’ve got my popcorn ready to watch the resort cams of the blizzard conditions tonight. Have fun everyone!

I frankly don’t care how - that PNA is. Normally you’re starving for it to be + so you can get something to dig enough but that block means business to our north. It’s going to bully these storm systems south. I won’t be shocked if the AIFS is on to something for next weekend and we’re tracking by early week again. The king, Weathernext, is hinting at the possibility too. Give me a -NAO and a cold Canada and I’ll always like my chances. Someone is due for a pasting at 5:1 ratios before we head to spring.

When torch?

Yikes. Sorry brother. Hopefully they get it fixed today.

Elite containment breaking opportunity today

End of next week looking a lot less torchy on guidance. The PNA is headed to negative territory but that block just doesn’t want to budge. Valentine’s may be a severe event but we could also trend firmly into a cad/miller b type of look with just a few more tweaks.

High wind watch caught me off guard. Hadn’t even paid attention to that threat.

We’ll be back! The struggle to adjust to this new era has been real but they’re starting to make winning moves again.

From living in that area for a while: Banner Elk will be ground zero Sneaky good spots for these setups: - Blowing Rock - Aho area of Watauga County near the parkway - Zionville (Watauga) - Sugar Grove (Watauga) - Meat Camp (Watauga, near Elk Knob State Park) - Newland - crossnore - Minneapolis - Creston (Ashe Co) Avoid: - Deep Gap - West Jefferson -Jonas Ridge - Sugar (near ground zero but if you’re going to deal with the crowds, might as well go all in with Beech)

Just a beautiful morning .

Every time I think it’s done, another chicken gets defeathered

1” here in Granite Falls with snow still falling. What a winter!

Assuming I don’t add much more, it’s a seasonal total of 10.5” from 3 storms. A+ winter in my books.
