packbacker Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Congrats to everyone seeing snow even the token flakes. Like Robert it's been one year for me as well on the snow. Hopefully we can cash in sometime this winter with a big one. Oh and clearly I bring the mojo to the thread! No snow here since 2010, RDU missed the Jan storm last year. Good chance RDU goes all of 2011 and 2012 without snow! Congrats to everyone seeing snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats to everyone seeing snow. Don't count out 2012 quite yet... If it doesn't snow this winter it can still snow next December ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 This flow across the region is the ideal setup for the Great Balsams to rake in on the snowfall. Storms break off the Cowee range and become enhanced by the time they reach the Great Balsams (Pkwy). Im hoping they might delay or call of work tomorrow and from what Im hearing around FB and Twitter, the roads are turning to ice, in a hurry. Met1985, we have some followers via FB stating the same rates at a degree drop every 10min. Gonna make for some dicy backroads. 9.5F atop Wayah Bald Mountain in Macon County, NC (5469'). Winds at 16mph. Mighty cold. Ya just since i posted last it has dropped down to 23.9 degrees. Dropping fast! Ya we seemed to be tucked back into the mountains enough to get some of the banding but you go a quarter mile down and nothing at all. Ya there are a lot of water on the roads still puddles even. I think school will be called off tomorrow. Also wind is insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol ya went there to get my Associates degree! Ya they do well not to try to get people out in this dangerous stuff. I bet there will be a lot of black ice tomorrow morning probably already a lot of areas. My deck is a solid sheet of ice right now from the rain this evening. Will be trick travel in the morning.

DAWGNKITTEN Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I had 20 seconds of sleet, but the wind, that was a different story...down to 27 here and wind is still blowing, although not like it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local Yokel Wx Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Looks like light snow will be falling along the TN line for a few more hours. I sure wish we had a delay at work, o well. Skiing can wait till this afternoon; always trying to avoid the hoards of people during a Holiday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Well all i have to say is this was very disappointing. Only had a dusting, i should have known it not being a NW flow things would not work out. Oh well that's how it goes. For the temp aspect it's cold 15.9 degrees.

Local Yokel Wx Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Got a dusting at my house in Cullowhee. Across the county, anywhere from a trace/dusting to an inch was the norm. Locations near Buddy saw higher than an inch (near the Plott Balsams; mtn range behind Sylva). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LithiaWx Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Nice surprise when I opened the door this morning to go to work. I've got snow! Some heavy flurries or light snow. Sitting at the office now watching the flakes fly! Temps are about 27-28, not even close to accumulating snow but it is very pretty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
