Yeah just got home. New snow 1 inch and current temp is 26.

It's absolutely hammering here in town.

A friend of mine sent me this from Crabtree.

Yeah with the snow really coming down the temperature has started to drop also. The wind is picking up here a bit in town.

Yep coming down hard. Beautiful snow.

Well the column finally saturated fully in town. Mountains are obscure, snowing dimes and moderate.

You can see the moisture starting to spread out and blossom in Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee. All good news for us here in the mountains.

Nice man. Well this is just the start.

Lol shoot I'd like to hold off until May for that crap.

Yeah the weather is pretty cool around the county. Seems like we are getting downsloped here in Canton but it's snowing in Bethel, Crabtree, Maggie. You have some elevation and you are good. You can literally see the snow line in town on the mountains.

Snowing again here in Canton but do not expect anything to really lay.

Yeah im thinking as has been mentioned this first batch is just nuanced. There is no forcing with this batch and it shows. When the come air starts to flood in here that's when things will become more organized.

Snow starting in Canton.

Get the sunscreen out.

Snow is moving in, in Haywood.

Whats cool is you can see the waves of moisture or lower level moisture all the way back into Illinois. That's what's going to help create a lot of lift for us in the mountains.

Yeah the NAM has been very inconsistent.

Schools dismissing at noon here. I think they are afraid of once it starts it's going to stick fast.

Yeah probably after lunch.

The clouds are milky. Looks and smells like snow.

Yeah a solid 2 to 4 still is what im thinking. The ground is in prime condition and boys is it going to get freaking cold starting tonight.

We ready for whatever gents?

Tossed!
