I picked up 1.95” last night in two different cells. Heavy rain!

Wow! I had an inch yesterday. It is not looking good.

Yeah as shown currently this is going to be a historical event.. Not hyping but just looking at the data.  Again any sudden change with this thing and that could greatly impact our area but so far all models have us as ground zero.

They definitely do. It is not hype at all. It is a scary scenario.

I bet these will be upped as well. This is still extremely impressive.  Also if the thing ends up strengthening a good bit that will really put us under the gun for some extreme weather. 

I wish it would all be as wrong as some of the snow forecasts of the past.  This sounds like misery ahead. Chain sawing trees and being without power don't top my list of favorite things to do.

Absolutely hammering here. Over an inch of rain and still pouring. Definitely did not need this.

Finally getting some nice pop up storms.

There he is. When you're gone, I know nothing is going on! Plenty of thunder here, but no rain so far. 

The airport has 2.95 inches of rain in the last 3 hours, and it is still raining!

Just checking this out. Looks rough!

One heck of a storm here in Candler. Severe thunderstorm warning Buncombe. Tornado warning Eastern Buncombe.

Surprised it’s so quiet in here! The GFS laid the hammer for the central mts and points north Friday. Verbatim it was a nice thumping of wet snow, 3-7 inches. 

Saw that. Looks higher elevation, but it has some time.

The warmth we have experienced is pretty crazy so far this month. What's our departures currently? Plus 6 or 8? The only cold place in the country currently is the inner mountain west which have been getting hammered by snow for weeks now. 

The airport is 6.8 above without even adding in today's +14. 

GFS throws us a bone next Tuesday. It's probably gone at 18z. Like Met has said, there is at least a chance coming up.

I'm blaming you lol

Ha! Ha! I'll take responsibility.

I noticed that on this date in 1969, Asheville had 6.4 inches of snow.

Nah, we need to dry out, forget the wet lol

Ha! Ha! I have a well. It always makes me nervous when it gets dry. But, otherwise, I agree with you,lol.

February is likely going to end up below average with rain compared to a very wet January. Water levels are at mid summer levels

February has sucked all the way around. Hopefully, March is wet. That, at least, looks possible.

Looks like the GFS backed way off any CAD related mixed precip. Definitely the winter theme. Probably a decent weekend in the 60s for most! 

Warm it up! Hopefully, we keep the rain train. It's been a little dry lately.

Temps were marginal whenever we had the moisture..not much at the house. You have to get above 4k feet for there to be snow on the ground.

I do. I just try to be optimistic about things. If you read a lot of the forums it's depressing and really just makes someone not want to post here. So I try to balance things out with a little optimism. 

I appreciate the optimism! I'm not always optimistic myself, but try to lean that way. We all know, especially the past 2 winters, that the deck is stacked against us. But I would rather see how it can work than how it won't. Nothing against WNCSnow. He's a good dude. 

But, keep up the positive Met1985!

Also here in Candler. 2nd biggest snow of the year. 

And we are back on the Euro. Just when I thought I was out.....
