27 and moderate snow in Upper Roaring Creek. Flurries on and off all day before it finally came over the mountain. About a half inch so far and some blowing snow.
-
Arrived back at Roaring Creek at 530 last night to 4-5 inches of snow. Tons of drifting (and compacting) so very difficult to measure. Another .75 -1 inch last night with occasional blizzard conditions and very low viz. Hanging at 33 with a brisk NW wind and occasional flurries.

Thanks! Thats about what I would have figured.
-
Was ISP ever significantly colder than IAD in the winter? IAD is far inland.
-
8-1-2 start becoming colder the later into November we get. As for flurries, I was just referring to my location which averages 40 plus inches of snow a year over the past twenty years.
-
I bet the Nov 5th-15th period will trend colder on guidance for the northeast. Wouldn’t even be shocked to see some flurries at some point at my location at 3800 feet on the NC/Tenn border. We had about a half inch Oct 15th (3 or 4 inches 700 feet up the mountain). Been unbelievably warm since.

The 18z GFS is absolutely bonkers and involves the biggest North American ridge I can remember in November. Extremely unlikely to pan out that way given climo.
-
Heavy snow showers moving back in off of Roan. Was up to 36.8 now back down to 34 with very low vis. Maybe a 1/4-1/2 mile.
-
Yeah, it coated everything here and and everything is white but if it had been two weeks later, we probably would have had 2-3 inches. Had .2 qpf but think it might have been a little more, have to set my weather station up in a better place.
-
Maybe a quarter inch here with more up the mountain (I’ve yet to check it out). Still occasional snow showers blowing in off Roan. Up to 34.
-
Starting to stick down here at 3800 feet. Excited to see what the mountaintops look like with foliage tomorrow morning.
-
Pouring snow now at 34.
-
Finally changed over to snow here. 36 degrees.
-
41 and light rain with a few sleet pellets. Looks to be about to changeover. 3800 feet elevation, about a mile from the Avery/Tennessee line.

That shows wind speed in knots not mph.
