I'd bet serious money that the gfs and euro are both under doing the extent of the NW precip shield. Not to mention we still have 2 days for the inevitable nw shift. Temps are still gonna suck but hopefully the mountains can something. Honestly I'd rather not see any NW shifts I'd rather just take my chances with questionable moisture rather than questionable temps.
It really is nice. I got married down there back in August. If you are into waterfalls be sure to check out Soco Falls. It's roadside about halfway between Cherokee and Maggie Valley. Beautiful twin falls. Would be great to see in the snow.
Probably overdoing it but the 18z 3km NAM keeps some areas right in the most favored areas along the nw escarpment as ZR until the very end of the precip Friday.
Coming down at a pretty good clip in the tynecastle area. Roads were covered again. Actually a decent rate here in foscoe too at the moment. Little grains though vs the gorgeous flakes we saw most of the day.
0z EPS had quite a few more members with snow for Boone this weekend. GFS seems to be gradually heading in the right direction as well. Could be the first decent storm if things work out just right.
WWA out for tomorrow. I don't see anything on the models to really warrant that unless I'm missing something but here's hoping I guess. Even the 3k NAM barely has anything.
To be fair not all of us even cash in on the nwfs. I'm quite jealous of bucket, moto and snowjoe because they all seem to do quite well. Best I've seen just south of Boone all season is a half inch at most so far.
Just went into Boone and it wasn't bad there. Whipping hard here at the house though. Feels like stepping out into a tropical storm with sideways rain and 60 degrees.
