    I’ll take any temp below 80… yard work is miserable in these conditions .

    Anybody see the current radar for Asheville? Looks like cell division happening…. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    It’s interesting looking at the radar right now, it seems like every rain return is moving in its own direction Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    A low this morning of 50 in Saluda NC. It’s been a long time since we’ve been that chilly on June 1 .

    I was just finishing up bringing more wood into the house and checking the fire in the wood stove, not believing that we would really get much more than 2-3 inches... wow was I wrong... Added - It’s amazing how the ingredients came together just right... I remember walking into town, it was a moderate snow with no wind... then in town I could hear the thunder... I got back home just as the wind picked up and an hour later we lost power... mom was making sauce and we had to finish it on the wood stove... woke up Sunday morning and it was 5 degrees... power came back on about midday... then we drove down to tryon... I remember following power trucks cutting their way into Tryon on 176... parked at five points in Gillette woods and walked to Jeanne Parker’s house... brought her up to Saluda... she didn’t get power back until the following Friday... all I can say is I will never wish for snow on my birthday ever again...

    Sitting in Pardee in H’ville NC waiting on my gallbladder surgery to start at 5.... really worried about this one, Saluda NC hasn’t seen a bad ice storm since late January 2010 and I think we are due... wife is out stocking up on food, and had a friend prep my generator... I.m ready but post surgery limitation will prevent any heavy work for three weeks... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Huh? Thunder in Spindale at the college, didn’t expect that... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Edit: just eating lunch at my desk and tuned into TWC, ( I know...sue me...). Seems so weird to see a winter mix way down past Houston and know that there might not be anything on the NC/SC boarder. ...and I can’t believe that pileup on I-35 down in Texas!

    Ended up with 5.5” down this way, though I think some places to my west (Zirconia, Tuxedo) might have more like 7”... stopped around 2am last night. Currently 37.6 with a light WNW breeze. The great melting has begun. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    5 inches in Saluda at 31.2˚, and the video to prove it... https://www.facebook.com/jimm.brink/videos/10218752070534685

    Light to moderate snow up here at 31.2˚ I'll let the video link speak for itself... https://www.facebook.com/jimm.brink/videos/10218752070534685

    Almost heavy snow here, 32.4˚ about 4 inches on the deck rails...seems that when it gets more moderate the flakes get bigger, but the heaver it gets the smaller the flakes... looks like it is going to do this for the next several hours... might it be March 2009 all over again? we ended up with 12.4" forecast said 1 - 3"
  12. The Alchemist
    Big flakes, moderate snow at 33.2˚ roads are covered up here and getting slick, about 2 inches on the deck railing
  13. The Alchemist
    Moderate Snow at 33.5/29.7... ground is turning white, deck and cars are turning white... I will consider it a win!!!
  14. The Alchemist
    ...and just like that we are down to 37.3... a breeze from the south east has picked up a bit... a lot of returns over us but nothing to show as of yet...
  15. The Alchemist
    Intermittent flurries for the past half hour. Temps dropping slowly, currently 39.2. seems to be struggling to reach the ground.
  16. The Alchemist
    I can see here in Saluda NC being in that mix. Currently 47.5/14.5... I think it's workable
  17. The Alchemist
    Are those mixed returns, around Athens up toward Anderson, Virga? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  18. The Alchemist
    That’s why we can’t have nice things!!! Seriously though, Looks fishy to me, maybe the Saturday high of 48 occurs at 12:05 am in the morning? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    About an inch here in Saluda with that first band, temp just dropped below freezing... 31.4... bet the I26 grade was a mess... heard Saluda fire and rescue headed that way about 45 minutes ago, then again about 5 minutes ago... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Glad I came home hwy 176 instead of the interstate... lots of sirens headed that way, Saluda fire and rescue, bet this front end band was enough to create travel problems on the I26 grade Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    I thought the euro is 0z and 12z? Hey mods, has anyone ever posted the adjusted real times of model runs. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
