Hvward Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 The NWS has snow for us Saturday night and Sunday morning. Winter just wont give up! Looks like it may get windy also lol. Haha I love it! The new simulated radar on weather bell for the Euro absolutely slammed the high mountains. A few pinks(+9") accumulation showing up on the snowfall map with the 2" stripe making it all the way into downtown, but I doubt the latter happens. Nonetheless, it will be fun to track a cutoff going right over top of us and seeing snowfall once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be some crazy conditions Saturday night into Sunday morning with the High Winds and heavy snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timing is near perfect too. I am really liking how this is unfolding. Hopefully we can get the low to pop a 546 contour earlier then the GFS and its ensemble insist on producing. I know that I will be up for this event, ha thats for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeGold Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 The NWS has snow for us Saturday night and Sunday morning. Winter just wont give up! A builder friend working nearby took this pic of my mtn top yesterday. It is clear that Winter is lingering in the high country. However, after the pending minor event that is coming tonight..I will declare Winter over and time to move on to all the warm stuff that occurs during the warm season!

SnoJoe Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Ray is calling for 6 inches along the border with a dusting to 2 for everybody else. Wind gusts to 65 mph. I agree with Mike, after this one it's time for some spring weather. Looks like we get some next week with temps near 70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxBlue Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Look like Smokies is for heck of a snowstorm. Was pretty impressed by 4km NAM with Smokies getting 8-16 inches of snow with more locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 So is it January or is it March? Temps are dropping like a rock! Temp down to 35 degrees with wind whipped rain. Winds are really howling out there. I think we could see one heck of a snowstorm in the favored areas tonight into tomorrow morning. Man I love this weather!

Hvward Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Almost there. Well vehicles and patio furniture are covered with snow. Big flakes. Oh yeah we are working our way down there! 37.4 right now with possible flakes mixing in with the big gusts. This one looks to have all the tangibles of a decent mountain snow. Precip on radar looks to be making it to the buncombe/madison line and then we have some radar blockage so things could get interesting in the valley in the next hour or two.

MikeGold Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Several inches ended up falling on the mtn top as it appears that winds were so strong that there was some spill over of snow showers from the Smokies into the Centeral & Northern parts of the Balsams. Mt.LeConte was buried under 12" of snow with 2 foot snow drifts!! Winds are gusting up to 92 mph at Grandfather at the present time. This was likely the final storm of the season except for perhaps elevations above 4500 feet. All in all-not too shabby of Winter although snowfall was a little on the lean side locally.

Met1985 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Nice Mike! We ended up with 3 inches of heavy wet paste. Looks like middle of winter out there. Man I love this weather. This will not be our last snow. Look for the second week of April to bring some fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoJoe Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 About 2 or 3 here as well. Lost power sometime overnight and it's still off. Don't really notice it because we have a whole house genset. I had a wind gust of 58 mpg at 4:27am. I'm at 24.4 degrees with a sustained wind at 26. Nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
