I lived in Mount Airy during that 2014 storm. Almost 20 inches of snow. I’ve seen absolutely nothing else like it in my life! I’ll never forget that event.

I’m not going to lie. I’m a big seasonal guy so if we get to the end of February with nothing, I’ll be rooting for a torch and a mercifully fast spring and not an extended winter. I know March snow is always on the table but it just doesn’t hit the soul the same. So with that being said, my hopes will ride for about a month and a half more and then it’s on to fishing, severe weather tracking and boating.

I hope so Met. I’m getting down in the dumps and trying to stay positive lol

Ain’t gonna lie yall. I’ll be happy for the TN Valley forum but I’ll throw up seeing that much snow west of the apps knowing how close it was. Guess I better get the bag ready.

Many in western NC are closed as well. Probably a good call with high winds and flooding. It just isn’t worth it.

There’s a lot of well-versed folks on the Tennessee Valley sub that do believe it’ll trend further south and east.

GSP disco mentions a possible upgrade to ice storm warnings. Didn’t see that coming.

But why can’t the SER make an appearance during Memorial Day ANY year?!

KING Euro. Refer to his majesty appropriately.

Winds are going to be a huge issue and it’ll catch a lot of people off guard Tuesday.

I’m convinced this physically can’t happen anymore

Woke up really wanting this

My eyes may surely be deceiving me, but I believe we have snizzle falling

The things I would do for one of those. Overrunning events are always so much fun. Just hours of moderate snow. Not debilitating (although all of us sickos would love a big game storm). Can’t beat a good plowable 4-6 inch snowstorm that lasts a long time.

Imagine if it had been snow…..

Never even made it back down to freezing last night after we torched with the cloud cover. Never expect much from an in-situ wedge!

Bottomed out at 30, but back up to 31.1 now

We’re at freezing now. 32/24 I imagine it’ll come up a little as the clouds thicken but we’ve got room to drop more.

34/21

I’m here! 41/20 atm. Interested to see what happens but not expecting much.

Those totals from Blowing Rock to Sparta are no bueno. The nw corner of the state has been trending worse with each model run.

For what it’s worth, GSP increased my ice totals by another tenth of an inch. The forecast previously called for up to .2 inches but now it’s .3

I do believe we’re going to manage to have a few hours of radiational cooling here in the central foothills at this pace. No high clouds on the horizon yet.

Really irks me how close this storm was to being a big deal. If that high had just anchored to our north, we’d be dusting off the sleds. I hope and remain optimistic that things will change soon. If there’s a bright side, at least we’ve discussed wintry opportunities this week, which is a nice change from tracking 60 degree rainstorms (ignore next Tuesday in that assessment lol)

As hard as it’s going to be, there’s zero point in looking at ensembles, operationals or anything of the such past 5 days. This whole week has been an absolute windshield wiper effect. We’ve bounced between extreme cold, seasonal cold and slightly above average every single day this week. I’m not sure why the models continue to be this unreliable and crappy but I truly think none of them have any sort of inkling of a clue as to what will happen beyond day 5. im as depressed as anyone about the outlook but let’s be honest: this Saturday wasn’t too far from being a biggie. If that high would have anchored, we’d be looking at a major winter storm from e tn, through the upstate, western nc, Virginia and NC piedmont.
