These storms along the escarpment mean business. Absolutely dumping. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

Man congrats to you border and southern mountain folks. We managed an inch today with the snow squalls. Down to 13.5 and still very breezy. Not our storm again up here but still a refreshing break before spring gets here. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

Just had a squall run through Blowing Rock drop visibility down to 100 yards or so. Looked like fog. Wild. Lovin it. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

Wind is bonkers here in Blowing Rock. Ran into some low visibility snow on the way in around Valle Crucis. Actually some occasional sun over here on the escarpment right now. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

Just a thick dusting here south of Boone. Ready for the NWFS to get going. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

Areas affected...Portions of southern and central Appalachians and vicinity Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 120733Z - 121330Z SUMMARY...Heavy snow is possible within the southern and central Appalachians and vicinity. 1-2 inches per hour snowfall is possible in eastern Tennessee and Kentucky. Rates of 1-1.5 inches per hour will continue to move northeastward into West Virginia and western/central Pennsylvania towards early morning. DISCUSSION...Temperatures have been dropping quickly across eastern Tennessee and Kentucky over the past 1-2 hours as cold air advection and diabatic cooling have increased. Correlation coefficient data from KJKL and KMRX show a transition zone from rain to snow roughly located in the Cumberland Plateau vicinity. This transition zone has quickly shifted east over the last hour. The combination of mid-level ascent and upslope flow will support 1-2 inch snowfall rates along the western slopes into the Appalachians. The greatest snowfall rates will begin to taper off by 4-6 AM EST. Farther north, snowfall is increasing across West Virginia into western Pennsylvania. Several observations sites are reporting moderate to heavy snow that is has been primarily driven by 850-700 mb frontogentic lift. As the trough moves east and intensifies, deep-layer ascent will increase in these areas into early Saturday morning. The potential for 1-1.5 inch snowfall rates will increase accordingly during the next several hours. ..Wendt.. 03/12/2022 Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

30 with all snow. Not sticking yet but won't be long. Edit: mixing with sleet at times.

Same here. 48.6 Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

12z HRRR tracks the LP right over CLT. Looks really good for the mountains this run with several hours of snow with the main band before NWF sets in. Bring. It. Also @BooneWXI'm sitting at a lovely 19". 100% of that fell in that 3 week period of January too.

GSP talking about convectively enhanced snow Saturday afternoon. Gonna be a fun day no doubt. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

Trends this whole season seem to have been towards more suppressed the closer we get. That could help in terms of accumulation this time if you are like me and wanna see one more good one. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

I'll have whatever the 12z GFS is having for next weekend. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

Sleeting this morning. Currently 32.5. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

New 3km NAM looks good for the NW border counties, mainly above 3kft looks like and closer to the border is better. Big improvement over 18z. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

Sunday morning is going to be oh so close for those in Avery, Watauga and Ashe. GFS has a brief thump of snow on the front end but short range models are razor thin margins. Doesn't look like much either way but anything would be better than the 40 and rain that is otherwise forecast.

Yeah. I'm a manager at the Columbia Sportswear there. That kind of fog is really not good for business lol. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

The fog along the escarpment today was absolutely miserable. Thickest I've seen since we opened up the store in the outlets. Visibility dropped below 50 yards on and off all day. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

Sunday into Monday trending in a very interesting direction. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

Nice, man! I'm pleasantly surprised how hard it's coming down at times. Wasn't quite sticking at the house when I left but temp was down to 33. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

Windy and warm out there tonight. Currently 56 here at the house. Eerie outside. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

Shhhhhhhhh. You'll scare it. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

27 down here in Foscoe but no precip yet. Saw there is a 20 car pileup being worked on 421. Currently no way up or down the mountain into Boone with 321, 221 and 181 also train wrecks. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

27 here but no precip yet. Deep Gap fire shut down 421 due a 20car pileup. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk
