I think we got about 5 raindrops out of this somehow. Really like the look of Friday night. Too bad I gotta work Saturday lol

Up at Grayson Highlands. Was hoping for some good rime ice but while it is 25 and ridiculously windy not much to report in the way of snow/time ice. A good 4-6" of needle ice in spots though lol

Was 52 at 9:30. Currently 38 with snow mixing in in Blowing Rock.

Nope only had 8" here from that one. Right at 16" in '18. Which means I have had one at half. Actually forgot we made it to 8 in the 22 storm.

6 years ago today. Haven't seen an event with half this total since. I've had 2 winters not even see a season total this high.

Still a warm up, rain, cold, repeat pattern though. Trending in the right direction just need it to keep going. Next Wed/Thu is interesting.

Wednesday night looking interesting with the frontal passage. NAM has an almost convective look to it. I hope so, I'm off Thursday so I can actually enjoy it lol. Haven't had a snowy day off yet.

We definitely got downsloped this time. Not surprising, we do better here with a more northerly component. 1.5" though.

Not sure what MRX is doing but they have us at a 20% chance of snow overnight. They completely missed last night and this morning, though. Moisture plume looks decent out around Bowling Green.

Hasn't stopped here yet. This was the scene when I got to the store this morning.

No additional accumulation overnight but it started absolutely ripping here about 20 minutes ago.

Solid half inch or more so far. Roads around Boone are a mess.

Had a little dusting this morning. Actually flurried/flizzarded on and off most of the morning in Blowing Rock. Nice day. Wind is rocking now.

So for some reason they've decided this isn't the case for the time being. Park Service announced the other day that it is closed to all recreation when the gates are shut due to potential for downed trees and unstable ground. I think its a bit of an overreaction but that's what they've decided to do for now. Honestly a little tired of how easily public lands are getting closed since the pandemic. But yeah, most businesses saw at least a 70-80% drop in sales in October. We would love the tourism.

Long range still looking good. 12z GFS/Euro both very cold in the extended. Lots of small NW flow events sprinkled in. Fingers crossed for a big dog around the 5-12th.
