SnoJoe Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Joe i have to agree. Living up at about 3500 to 3600 feet and especially as high as you are just something exciting is going to happen. Just going out and hearing the wind rolling down the mountain and into the hollar. Clouds are starting to move in and the air is as crisp and if it were 0 degrees outside. I think the snow comes in earlier and i think we will get more that they think. Just noticed they know have highs for use in the 20s today and tomorrow. Nothing like living in the mountains. You're one of us. I'll see you at the next meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griteater Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 A lot of times we talk about the models trending warmer as we get closer to go time, but this incoming 500mb vort max has trended stronger, farther south, and colder over the past several days.

NCSNOW Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I was heading up there today, but sick kid changed that. Should be seeing the real stuff fall later on this afternoon. currently 14 up top.

msuwx Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I might be a couple of degrees too warm, but here is what I am going with on air as of now....considering the downsloping component, I was a little leery of going colder, although I could certainly see some spots not making 30. I would probably put My. Airy, N Wilkesboro, and Stuart at 30 or 31 if I was making the graphic again right this minute. We will see. Our local mets are showing around 35-38 for high tuesday?

Lowpressure Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Looks good, winds chill will almost be the bigger story. We have not really seen this cold blast this year and will catch many off guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEGa Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Ugh guess a fence is better than it falling into your house! The winds really picked up here over night as well - looks Ike several gusts were in the mid 30 mph range. Also gotten COLD (31*) So now where is some moisture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nchighcountrywx Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Having off today, I am trying to cut away for a bit and go over to Roan Mountain at Carvers Gap for a mike out/mile in hike on the Appalachian Trail. I'll report back on conditions. With Avery ridgelines around 12 degrees at 10am, it is likely around 6 to 8 on Roan I guess you can say I want to get my fill of arctic cold weather!

Amos83 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Headed back to clt from the inlaws so I thought id check in. Currently 20 miles north of Hopkinsville, KY and have been getting on and off heavy snow showers with a temp of 28. The artic air is squeezing out every bit of moisture in the air which bolds well for the mountains as this S/W rotates through. Snow started almost as soon as the clouds moved in so you guys can watch the cloud line to get an idea of when the snow should start. Also note that NO snow was forecasted for this region this morning. Ill check back in later with more obs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine you didn't sleep much either! that's not good. Good thing it wasn't your house or a neighbor's. Yep, we had one fall on the neighbors house early last spring, we were lucky this time. Something is randomly killing some of our pines at home, not sure what it is. We are very grateful that there was no more property damage. We went and got supplies to fix the fence, Hopefully it will all be back to normal shortly so I can let our 100lb German Shepard go run and play!

Itunis Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Brr...after getting back from south Florida it's cold out! Planning on going skiing later this week so it's good to see that the higher elevations might get a few inches. Most important will be the cold air-from my lurking in the NE forum temps around 14 degrees are ideal for snowmaking, and with this outbreak the resorts should be able to make snow all day for a few days.
