strongwxnc Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Thanks for the report Joe. Sounds like a wonderful evening! Now who needs the bourbon. Boy, it's laying it down now. True, solid upslope. When the wind gusts, it's blizzard time. Down to 12.4. Think I'll wrap up and take the dogs for walk. Beautiful night !

strongwxnc Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 No doubt it would. Nothing close to NWSF down in my neck of the woods. But man was it nice for the three years I spent in Boone!! You'd love it Mark. Would take you back your collage days I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoJoe Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 no one lives there but the smokies are the best! You're probably right. And by the looks of radar they must be getting pounded right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Apps. Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Probably be the first double digit snow of the year on the Tennessee border...bet Mt. Leconte gets to 12" with no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonGA Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Probably be the first double digit snow of the year on the Tennessee border...bet Mt. Leconte gets to 12" with no problem. Yep. The radar there is about as impressive as it gets. Looking at the Gatlinburg webcams it looks like it was coming down pretty heavy. Wish I was up there.

The Alchemist Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 We've had some flurries here in Saluda. Nice that the flow made it over the mountains... That doesn't happen often... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoJoe Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Atta boy Joe! Snowy nights in the High Country sure are saweet ! Hi Bill! Just took the dogs on a quick walk to pee, and measured right at 6 inches. The ditch along the south side of my driveway always fills with snow, so we played their favorite game. Throw the ball in the it and watch them disappear. Labs are a trip in the snow. Hope you're up this week to enjoy this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Wow what a day. Pretty much snowed all day and I had to work! Oh well. Well the drive home was really bad. The closer I got home the worst it got. There is about 1-2 inches of snow on the road and then a sheet of ice. Had to pull over and help a couple out of the ditch also. Just extremely slick conditions. Blizzard like conditions also with the wind. Got home an still snowing moderately to heavily. We have about 3-4 inches of snow on the ground but hard to tell because the wind is roaring. Temp down to 11 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeGold Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Ended up with 3" of snow with little new snow last night. When synoptic support departed and inversion heights crashed..the Smokies Wall of Death reared its ugly head with virtually nothing crossing over the border locally. Nippy 3 below zero this morning up top. Congrats to all those that actually are getting to break out the snow shovels this morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I'll wrap up and take the dogs for walk. Beautiful night ! Um......I could have used a oaken barrels worth yesterday & last night! Glad to see the Mnt top gang cashed well though. We ended up with a whopping .25". Haven't even made it to single digits yet @ 10.9°. The wind is screaming here this am though, which is unusual for this part of the valley.

K4CF Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 7oF and light snow...6" on the ground...This event pushed the season total to 16"...some pics to follow shortly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoJoe Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Best I can measure is between 7 and 8 inches. Temps went negative at 7 am this morning at -0.7, but has warmed to a toasty 1.1 now. A few flurries, but all in all a beautiful morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirNelson39 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Ended up with about 2-3" here in Boone. Roads weren't too bad this morning but with the temp at 6 degrees and the wind chill -10s it was miserable while having to shovel and spread salt across ASU campus.

MikeGold Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 how much so far on the season, have you even hit double digits?

strongwxnc Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Yet another great report. What kind of ratio do you think you ended up with? Also, how do you dogs fair when the weather turns angry and cold? Best I can measure is between 7 and 8 inches. Temps went negative at 7 am this morning at -0.7, but has warmed to a toasty 1.1 now.

calculus1 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Beautiful picks, K4CF. Thanks for sharing those. I am totally jealous and talking to my wife about property in Buladean. Seriously. I mentioned it to her and showed here where it was on the map after your post yesterday. The Sunalei Preserve (Snake Mountain in northern Watauga County) would be my Holy Grail for mountaintop living in NC, I believe, but it would also take the Holy Grail to pay for the property and house there.

Thanks for the share pictures K4CF, beautiful countryside you have there my friend. Thank you guys...calculus, compared to Avery/Watauga/Ashe counties, property here is still somewhat "affordable"...just make sure you've already made your fortune/retirement or bring a unique trade/skill to the area...lol. Its getting harder and harder to make it up here. I'm a 46-yr native here, live on family land, heat my home with wood from the land, and work for the public schools. Other than state jobs, the only industry left is silicon quartz/mica mining and its limited due to the economy now. Beautiful place to live though...but 25 miles from the nearest Walmart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Thanks for the notes, K4CF. The move is not imminent, by any means. I'm thinking after retirement that I would like to move to that area. I've got a few years to go still. I'm just dreaming, but I really did point out the area to her on the map. We went camping at Roan Mt. State Park over Labor Day, so it was just a hop, skip, and jump over to Buladean. I can't believe I missed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
