    More Max Patch

    And now Max Patch

    18.7 here and the snow has pretty much been reduced to flurries for now (was coming down good when I got home but didn’t last long into my hike up to the top of the mountain) with the sun wanting to peek out, fully expect some more to get cranked up as we progress into the evening though the way the wind is whipping. I’d say 1-1.5” here thus far, hard to tell because of how much it’s blown around. Would be nice to hit or exceed 3” mark, so we’ll see. Pics from here at home.

    Made it to the top of Max Patch, what an experience. Snow wasn’t ripping like the drive up but the wind was howling. Drifts waist deep and almost bare areas on the summit. 3-6” is my best guess based on various measurements in protected spots. Pics to come, might try to upload a quick video I took too.

    That band meant business, I drove through it at Rush Fork Gap and that’s the hardest I’ve seen it snow since moving to Haywood 5 years ago. About to Max Patch, solid 3-4” up here, wind is whipping and drifting it up.

    Pouring dandruff sized flakes on my mountain. 3/4” and counting with wind gust blowing it all around. Gonna attempt to make it to Max Patch now. Hopefully can get some bigger flakes again at some point, yet to experience them for a long duration at this place. Seems like my lack of moisture in the DGZ I always had issues with in Charlotte followed me up the mountain haha!

    Was moderate there for a while with good dendrite size, tapered off a bit now and flake size is a mixed bag. 1/4” of powder so far. Sun always wants to try to peak through occasionally here during these events I’ve noticed, no matter how socked in the clouds are surrounding me.

    26 with light snow and a trace on everything. Once it gets going good here it’ll be time for a jeb walk either above the house or maybe take a drive to Max Patch. Time to get a fire roaring first though.

    GF lives in Cullowhee and I did the same thing in her driveway. Slick out there! Now to get home for the NWFS.

    Made it up to 31.5 for a high
  11. WxKnurd
    Looks like 1.2 is gonna be my low, no clue if we picked up any accumulation or not but I do know there were flakes flying at least during the 7-9 pm time frame last night.
  12. WxKnurd
    Well I was wrong, sitting at 1.4.
  13. WxKnurd
    Had fallen to 5.5, back up to 6.1 now. Dewpoint is 1, don’t think we’ll go that low but wouldn’t be surprised to see 3 or 4 for the official low tomorrow morning.

    A balmy 9.5
  15. WxKnurd
    Down to 17, down 15 degrees since 7 am.

    Temp rose above 32 around 9 pm last night, apparent that the heavy returns were what cooled the column all the way down to the ground. Once they were gone back up to 36 she shot, above 4-4100’ was the ticket for staying below freezing the whole event I believe on our side of the spine of the Apps. Definitely had a bit of melt overnight but back down below freezing again. Guessing we already had our high for the day, see how low we go tonight.

    I’m shooting for above 5500’ near Waterrock, then the only excuse I have is bad luck!

    Waynesville proper just had mostly rain last I heard from my buddy there at like 5.
  20. WxKnurd
    How much do we have on the ground around our end of the county? Looked like a solid 1-2” on my camera at the house, some heavy returns up Fines Creek and Betsy Gap way makes me think they are at least 3-6” if they got colder faster.

    Well finally had a deer trigger my trail cam and have easily an inch it looks like. Been at 32 since like 3. Best snow of the season thus far, hate I missed it.
  22. WxKnurd
    The steady temp fall continues, down to 32.2 and still have room to fall. Wetbulb is 31.8 and continues to go down.
  23. WxKnurd
    Down to 33, as temps come down so is the dewpoint at the same rate so wetbulb keeps creeping down to 32. Might have something going now. Plotts should be getting hit pretty good like Hires models were showing and @Maggie Valley Steve ‘s Soco report backs up
  24. WxKnurd
    Down to 35.4, I need to get a webcam up and running for time like this when I’m curious about conditions.
  25. WxKnurd
    Hear hear! But if I have to hear GBO one more time I might go crazy…
