Checking in everyone. All my family is fine. Our new house we are building in Laurel Ridge up near the North Fork Reservoir in Black Mountain faired well, but the road is absolutely destroyed to the neighborhood. The photo shows the bridge that the Swannanoa River used to go under, and now the new path is has made. It took out about 100ft of road and that road had the main waterline to Asheville right beside it. So in short, we were supposed to move in two months, but now that looks to be delayed til the first of the year. There is also a 200ft wide mudslide on the road right above us that I am facilitating a crew to tackle. All in all we faired extremely well and feel so blessed. Lots of clean-up to be done as all of you know, but it has been so amazing to see this community come together. We had a few folks in Laurel Ridge trapped by the mudslide but the Cajun Navy along with The Mule Team were both able to provide support and everyone has been reached! There is a light at the end of this tunnel and it's very bright for this amazing community.

This morning around Asheville it seems if you drive up the right hill you switch to snow.

Looks like we have around 3” in Alexander, not going out there right now to measure ha. One of the best northwest flows I can remember.

Getting hammered here in Alexander, already around a half inch or so in broad daylight. These are the northwest flows we missed, I forgot what it was like to just have a mega swath of moisture give all of Buncombe snowfall for a few hours. Roads are starting to get covered as WNC said.

Got some nice NWF coming down here right now in Alexander. We have already picked up a dusting. Great rates.

Yeah I am in the northern part of Buncombe, we seem to be getting a bit of that arctic air to filter in down the French Broad.

Feels like we were down big but are pulling a miracle second half comeback. I am down to 35.8, models had me at 42 right now and there is still a good bit of precip to pull through the area.

18z Nam 3km expanded the southern periphery of moisture. Has many around WNC getting snow showers around 8-9pm tonight. Models are clearly struggling with what the moisture is going to do when it hits the mountains.

Thanks everyone I’ll be live at 6pm.

Yeah sometime this evening. Trying to get my thoughts together and see what the radar shows. Sometimes I wish I could just enjoy it and just watch the window haha.

Lots of moisture in Northern Mississippi developing right now. HRRR doesn’t show anything over Tupelo for another 4 hours but mping is showing frozen precip.

One thing I am noticing on the 6z Euro is the idea of the stream staying intact for a longer duration. Check out the banding that is showing Tuesday morning now across parts of AL, MS, & GA. Looking back at the past several Euro runs this is by far the most moisture being shown across those areas in that time frame. Also shows it as frozen. That SW directional flow would still support the fire hose into WNC.

Obviously this did not verify. Admittedly I think I was a bit over zealous. The low trended a bit more north, but I think we get better flow into Asheville when the low bombs out on the coast. Hoping to see some good backside flow with this next system late Tuesday.
