Hvward Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I live out Sand Hill Rd now(wish I was still in Leicester during the winter).... nothing here, but crossed onto Bear Creek Rd this AM, and solid snow cover. It is amazing a few miles can make a difference. I know that's just crazy! I call it myself the Spivey Split haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Was ready to leave for work but, found out the boss crashed into a guardrail coming off of 240 at the Chunns Cove ex. No injuries but a new quarter panel, light, & cover are needed. Needless to say I am waiting a few minutes before I venture out. Ya Don I was skating into work this morning! But the sun is doing its job now so thing should be clear in the next hour or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triadwx Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Snowing lightly again in Boone! Really looking forward to this next clipper! It looks so juicy on radar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLweather Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Snowing lightly again in Boone! Really looking forward to this next clipper! It looks so juicy on radar! I agree. This will probably be yalls best clipper yet still thinking qpf wise might be a little underdone. Really going to be interesting to watch this cross the mountains as well. But looking at the RH fields maybe a band of convection( SW to NE flow) setting up along the tail end of this later this afternoon before coming through the mountains around and after mid night.

K4CF Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Ewww...The moisture with the clipper goes poof on the latest RAP run...never have liked rap 12Z NAM puts down about .15" qpf 9Z SREF puts down about .2" qpf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeGold Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 More snow inbound: http://inws.wrh.noaa.gov/weather/alertinfo/14017647 This will be a 50 knot WSW upslope event. Will be interesting to see if this setup does a better job targeting my mtn top then the typical upslope events that seem to affect the TN line almost exclusively. Note-I flew over the Smokies on Friday and could see the snow covered ridges far below. They only turbulence experienced on the flight was when directly over the Smokies..despite being 30,000 feet above them..they still were creating ripples in the wind...

Met1985 Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Well whatever falls tonight will be at good rates because it is colddd out there. Yep it is. Things look pretty good on radar. Again not a true NW flow type snow as Mike mentioned but should do well with what looks like good moisture coming in. As you said it is cold! Temp down to 24 degrees already. Still have snow on the ground from last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have snow on the ground from last night. We have been doing pretty good with these so I say bring it on. Knoxville radar looks good but I wonder if that will break down once it gets to the mountains or will it be eaten by dry air which is what was modeled.

NavarreDon Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Cold up in Weaverville with a temp of 26. Haven't had a chance to look at any models but I must say I am a little worried about GSP's Buncombe snow hole! Hope we over perform here in the valley.

wncsnow Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Latest from Raysweather, he doesn't think February will be cold- Overnight snow showers were light across the mountains, with most places getting just flurries, and areas closest to the TN border picking up a dusting to an inch of new snow. We have a one quiet, nice, milder day on Monday before we go back into the freezer for the rest of the workweek. Here's expected highs for MLK Day, with areas east of the mountains flirting with 60-degrees! February hint: It looks much milder than January.

Though he didn't say no snow, I couldn't imagine heading to next January w/o one single snow exceeding 1 inch closing in on 4 years.(well, at the airport anyway) 75 inches of precip and we can't get one measly inch of snow. I sound like Brick and Fritschy combined... but I feel their frustration.... and this was proceeded by almost 70 inches(at my house) in a winter and a half. Oh well, I guess we will see where it heads. I would rather be warm instead of $300.00 power bills and very little snow. Okay, I'm done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your problem is, you got 4 years of snow in a year and a half. Averages can be a b**ch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
