franklin NCwx Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Yeaah but the driving is the least im worried about look at all the land there buying up and makin them big ole fancy gated comminuties. Makes me sick And land just keeps goin up up up its guna get to were the mtns are a retirement home! And the ppl that have lived here for generations will be gone. Edit: Sorry guys for a rant but it just really hits at home I love these mtns more than anything. Gone are the days of tha ol timers. Really have enjoyed this winter thanks for everyones input I really have learned a lot from you guys and really apprishiate the time and effort yall have put in and the detail to witch u go has taught me a lot Thanks God bless land and housing prices are in the toilet and most subdivision have gone bankrupt.

Hvward Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Every model now shows some type of accumulating snowfall for wnc tomorrow morning as the GFS follow suit behind the nam and rgem. Good trends fellas, it looks like there will be a nice surprise to wake up to tomorrow morning. I wouldn't be surprised to see some of you higher mountain folks above 3500' get 4"+ total overall.

jburns Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 You paint a depressing picture but ya they have drove up the prices also on land which makes it darn near impossible for locals to buy land. Shoot I was just looking last night and there was lots of 1 to 2 acres that was trying to be sold for 100 thousand dollars in a gated community. To be fair, it was 10K for the land and 90K for the gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course that's assuming 10:1 ratio and I think it's going to be less than that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 One thing I have noticed is that the GFS shows some upslope snow and the NAM does not. I think the GFS is right with this guidance and the NAM is wrong. Looks like we get a pretty decent burst of snow through the mountains tomorrow morning and then upslope later in the day. Also man it is going to get cold. I mean are we in February or March? Could see several places anywhere from 10-15 degrees come Wednesday morning.

Yeah 85' I expect the radar to light up over East Tenn. & Kentucky similar to the most recent event that we had. Might have pretty decent snowfall from 7pm thru 11pm or so, later the higher up you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing we have going for us is the temps will be dropping tomorrow through the day I believe or most likely stay at or below freezing which is very impressive for this time of the year.

WxBlue Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I'm going with trace to one inch for this one manly because models don't see this microclimate well... however, HRRR, SREF, and 4km NAM all look pretty good so far with 1-2 inches in Bumcombe County increasing toward the mountains on either side of the county. RAP do not like WNC, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 The GFS still look good but it is a pretty much nowcast situation. Good luck to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Snow started here and boy is it hammering away. Flakes are the size of silver dollars and we have picked up a half inch in 30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Still pouring the snow. So far an inch and a half. Man it is beautiful out. Snow is on everything. Looks like this first batch is about to wrap up though. Will be looking for upslope to kick in later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Nam coming in better with the upslope this evening. GFS rolling in a few. I like the trends. Could see some spots around 3-6 inches when all said and done. Lol schools canceled here also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jab had reports near the boarder of already 3-4 inches on the ground. GFS still holds serve. A good 4 hours of moderate to heavy snow fell on the mtn top with temp in the low 20's. The upslope snow that should kick in later looks interesting. Very high inversion heights....excellent snow growth in the clouds..convective nature..March sun heating..looking for snow squalls this afternoon. The squalls should have no problem crossing the TN line this afternoon although I think it should mostly be confined to near the TN line tonight.
