Thrasher Fan Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Awoke today to 29 degrees and large flake flurries. Wind was stiff with a windchill in the teens. Ice was all over the ground until 10 a.m. Never got above 42 today, and is already down to 37. Here's a pic I made just after noon today looking toward the mountains around Lake Lure from the Rutherford-McDowell County line. It was snowing over the lake. This has felt like my coldest day all season. Cool pic. What road is that if you don't mind me asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarvelMountain Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Cool pic. What road is that if you don't mind me asking? It's called Hemphill Road, and is a few miles east of Montford Cove Road, which connects Lake Lure with I-40 to the north. This photo was made where Hemphill t-bones into Tight Run Loop beneath Pinnacle Peak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarvelMountain Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 It was 19 degrees at 7 a.m., and because over an inch of rain fell Tuesday night, ice was in all of the low spots. There was also a heavy frost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bevo Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Bluebird day today. 42 degrees on the way to a sizzling afternoon of temps in the high 50's/low 60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarvelMountain Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 20 degrees at 7 a.m. Asheville airport, just 23 miles west, showing 27. Sugar Mountain sitting at 19. Noticed that Sugar stopped making snow five days ago, even though temps have remained below freezing most of that time. New snow this week makes the slopes the best of the season, but it looks like management has decided to curtail skiing after Sunday, no matter what. Seems such a waste of rare late season snows and cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 MBY was blessed with quite a lot of rainfall overnight. I'm not sure how I garnered all this. I measured 0.48 inch before midnight and 0.89 inch since midnight. It's still drizzling right now. Anyway, storm total sits at 1.37 inches right now. Over-performer!!

Amazing scenery...even in a snowless winter. I'm gonna have to take that road sometime down from 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nchighcountrywx Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 How much longer do you typically see snow potential up there? April is usually always a given. However, if you ready up on Grandfather Mountain History, since records have been kept there has been snow recorded at least once in history in each month of the year including June, July and August! My mindest is that the varying climate in our mountains puts our upper balsam forest areas has having a climate similar to lower/central Canada. It always fascinates me and I really get a kick out of the clean fresh air! We are truly fortunate to have our mountains here n North Carolina. It's not just Grandfather I enjoy, but Roan, Mitchell and the many other mountains that you could never find time to explore in a lifetime. North Carolna actually has over 200 peaks greater than 5000' feet in elevation: http://www.peakbagger.com/list.aspx?lid=21455 Additional Information: Earliest Fall Snow September 10, 1964 Latest Spring Snow May 27, 1961 I will have to hunt for the article that references snow being recorded in July on Grandfather.

You're in a great spot. My temps have rebounded slightly today to a swampy 49 degrees. I'm curious as to whether or not this weekend warm up will be as advertised.
