FoothillsNC Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 there have been a couple of snow showers moving through the last 45 min or so. its cold as all get out at 23 and winds gusting over 30 mph awesome you finally get some snow. Thats some wind! I think I may have saw a few flakes with the returns in Richland county I'm watching the echoes skip over me and flare up a little to my southeast. snowing in king, nc now. Plowable? Wow wish all yall could be here at my house! I have whiteout conditions and the wind is howling and my temp is down to 14.9 degree and also we have roughly 2-3 inches of snow on the ground! sounds awesome. Whats your elevation?

kvegas-wx Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 It was the band that just came through Yancey Co. We just got hammered the past hour with some of the heaviest flow snow I've ever seen!! Dropped well over an inch. I'll go measure at halftime. Btw, 9.9 degress and the wind is still crankin'. Joe, you live in Burnsville, right? I've got inlaws that live up on Old Mine Fork Road just north of Burnsville. NW facing slope. I'd love to be there right about now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeyefan1 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I think I may have saw a few flakes with the returns in Richland county I was wondering if anything was reaching the ground Mostly clear here in southern Lexington Co Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAD Addict Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Looks like this is shaping up to be a southern mountain event. Nothing here for over an hour now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaffneyPeach Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Flurries in Chesnee, SC just to the NW of me. I'll be heading out shortly for work maybe I'll get lucky and see a flake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Hey foothills my elevation is about 3500-3600 feet. I live on the side of a mountain and when we get this NW flow fetch with this kind of moisture we get hammered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullCityWx Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I was wondering if anything was reaching the ground Mostly clear here in southern Lexington Co We're about a mile north of CUB...it was very short lived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEGa Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 i am trying to temper some excitement looking at the radar, but it appears there are several pretty good bands of snow in ne ga, one headed directly towards mby they rarely make it so i am a bit dubious LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoJoe Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Well so far I have cold, wind, & a big can of fail! Just a light dusting so far in Weaverville. No snow for the past 30 min. In GSPs 7:00 pm update they say the bulk of the moisture would be over by 10:00 pm. Pinning my hopes on a overnight surprise. I was hoping you got some of that band. After looking at radar, two feeders are splitting Madison and northern Buncombe. Maybe that'll shift here before long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Joe, you live in Burnsville, right? I've got inlaws that live up on Old Mine Fork Road just north of Burnsville. NW facing slope. I'd love to be there right about now! Wow. Mine Fork is the next ridge over from me. I live in northern Yancey , about 6 miles from the TN line. I bet they got thumped with the same band that came through here. They do well in upslope events. If they've been here a while I bet I know them !

MotoWeatherman Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Is he related to nada? I'm now at 40 and the wind is still kicking 1st cousin. LOL. half inch at the house! 1st accumulation of the season. Snowmaking update: 6" in the center, 4" elsewhere (20' x 40') I took your advise on the snow making equipment. Will attempt to fire mine up for the first time tomorrow night. i am trying to temper some excitement looking at the radar, but it appears there are several pretty good bands of snow in ne ga, one headed directly towards mby they rarely make it so i am a bit dubious LOL I've got a bona fide dusting on the ground now so keep the faith. Light snow and 25.5 IMBY. Official first "dusting" of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavarreDon Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 I was hoping you got some of that band. After looking at radar, two feeders are splitting Madison and northern Buncombe. Maybe that'll shift here before long. Saw that on the radar & it really shows up good on the still that buckeyefan1 posted. Robert says don't give up hope yet. Sounds like you are nice & balmy up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue_Ridge_Escarpment Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Just got in from town and wasnt expecting the surprise I got when I came out of the recreation center. The main roads throughout the county are snow/ice covered even U.S. 221 North. I think the kids may enjoy another day off here in the county. 23.9 degrees currently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jburns Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Can't beleive the heavy radar return oveb MBY. Wind is gusting, but no sign of a flurry/flake. Still haven't seen a flake since last year. I don't know where you guys are finding all these echoes. I had GRlevel3 running from RAL, GSP and FCX all evening and see and have seen nothing over our area.
