Met1985 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Good evening everyone. Current temp is 13.9 degrees and the wind is howling. Not snowing currently but we have about 2 inches so far for this event. We are having a small break right now but i have a feeling it will set back in a little later.

How was & is the wind up there 85? It was brutal down here earlier today. Things have quieted down here now but it is still gusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 The wind is crazy. Blowing snow so much you can't see in front of you while driving. Currently light to moderate snow off and on and we are up to about 2.5 inches of snow. Temp has dropped to 12.9 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainMarvel Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 23 degrees and very high wind gusts. These are the strongest winds I have seen in the almost three years I have lived here. Sure am glad I had those two tall dead trees taken out last year. No flurries now, but I had them all day, even when I could see no clouds in the immediate area. Wind is an amazing thing. No power loss yet, but trees are certain to fall during the night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griteater Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Took a trip today from Charlotte to the in-laws home located on a ridge outside of Burnsville, NC. Here's how the trip went... Left Charlotte around noon - partly cloudy, 47 deg Hickory - few stray flurries (maybe grapel) with partly to mostly cloudy skies, 44 deg (about as warm as I've ever seen it snow) Morganton - light snow showers, 38 deg Marion - light snow showers, 32 deg Top of the Blue Ridge Escarpment at the Eastern Continental Divide (2,820 ft) - light snow showers, dusting on the ground, 25 deg And finally, at the ridge top outside of Burnsville (3,700 ft) - 17 deg, and here's what it looked like... http://imageshack.us...deos/6/y8c.mp4/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing the difference about 80 miles makes. I can vouch for your flurries in Hickory, but it never made it up to 44 degrees at my house. 41 was the high. Looks like the in-laws have a nice snowy hideaway. Enjoy your stay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Ridge Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 This was a rather great disappointment here. ~1", wind was rather mundane. Cold air was the only redeeming factor; at least it felt like winter for a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
