oconeexman Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I'm planning on taking the wife and three little ones up to the WNC mountains to play in some snow tomorrow. I think the closer I am to the TN border, the more snow I should find. Anybody want to recommend Elk Park, Banner Elk, Newland, Zionville, or Todd? Don't really want to drive up the road to the top of Beech. Where do you think I'll find the most snow on the ground and the least congestion (traffic-wise). Maybe just going to Boone would be okay. We just want to find a little hill somewhere with snow on it to have some sledding fun. As bad as it's been for the skiers this year i'd guess any roads up that way will be congested this weekend esp. with the next 2 weeks of above average temps looming...good luck though. Maybe ya'll will find a good spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Unbelievable this could be the worst winter ever for MBY? I guarantee spring late March-April will be cold and rainy 40s with nice CAD.... besides who wants cold when it should be in the 60s & 70s? I just wish we could skip thru till May!!! Most depressing winter ever so far! Through with the rant for now, maybe more later. Just seen 12z GFS and Euro, See ya!!! that looks familiar.

POWERSTROKE Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I'm staying over by the YMCA in westover? Not familiar with the area. I have several properties all around where you will be at. I was there today. Let me know what you are looking for. Does she live on Westover or where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does she live on Westover or where? She lives on Clover just moved in this week. Really just anything good for food. We were going to go to Cloverdale Kitchen for breakfast and maybe hit up Alex's Cafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a steak, ribs, or anything good--take 40 west and take Silas Creek exit go over to Hanes Mall Blvd and restaurants every where!!! I prefer Tripps. You can also go up Miller Rd beside hospital and it will bring you out on Silas Creek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcworthWx Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Well, I got back @ 9pm from the Vet after being there since 4 and a big bill. My oldest dog (7yrs old) got diagnosed with Diabetes. Luckily we are catching it in time, unlike his brother who passed away 4yrs ago at the age of 3yrs old. This year is NOT starting off the way I would have guessed. This is tough on me, but even more so on my wife as she's in CA on business. Man this SUCKS! Sorry guys, I just needed to vent. Anyone have any disco on the Clipper for tomorrow?

weatherheels Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Since winter is over I'll be in Winston Salem where my girlfriend just moved not bothering with the weather this weekend. Anyone know some good lunch/dinner or drinking spots to hit up? There are some really good places downtown, around the 4th street area. A couple of my favorites are Nomas and Sweet potatoes(damn good fried chicken). You could also hit up Foothills Brewing if you wanted to try a couple beers, its all within walking distance.

jburns Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 The upcoming two weeks will probably be a tale of extremes. For the Southeast, the jetstream will begin to pul north into Eastern Canada, but a couple of fronts will come through with rain over the next 2 weeks. In between, we'll get warmer and warmer and flirt with record highs. It will begin to feel like early Spring on the days there's sunshine, but the GFS is beginning to hone in over the southern Miss. Valley pretty soon, around day 9 or 10 with the front hitting a Bermuda Ridge, which should firmly be in place since the jet is in eastern Canada. Already strong winds and very strong gulf inflow is showing up on the boundary in La, Miss. Al. and the model holds that in place several days, so there could be a major rain event there. That eventually rains over the Southeast and East Coast, followed by another possible cutoff low. No cold air to be found, so that looks like a pure rainmaker. The model is very generous with rains esp. west of the Apps and toward the Gulf, with some 5" totals in 16 days. It's probably safe to say that January will be very warm and have high + departures in all of the southeastern third of the nation. If there are enough sunny days late next week and then the next when it's very warm, this will push the growing season to an early false start. Sure we'll be seeing pics of blooming everything by the fourth week of the month (iris, daffodils, tulips, yellow bells, cherry trees, bradfords, etc).

Anyone have any disco on the Clipper for tomorrow? sorry to hear that, it sucks. hopefully they caught it in time and can treat it. i have (and have had) dogs for years and years - when one gets sick (i had one with epilepsy about 10 years ago) and has to be treated for stuff like this its a shocker. hang in there!
