Met1985 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 Just took a look at the new Euro. Man is it going to be cold next week. I mean deep deep winter cold for the mountains. Could easily see some single digit lows especially if we get some snow on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Euro ensemble was showing the chance for flakes last night and today all week so not surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nchighcountrywx Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 A lot of diamond dust in the air in Avery County today (snowing with the sun out). Also at noon, I noticed there was a lobe of -15c 850mb air setting back up over Kentucky and that the NW mountains are lot colder today than further south at Mitchell.

Met1985 Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 I would say today is going to be a very nasty day today. We are going to get some very beneficial rains and heavy at times then temps are going to be crashing down very quickly this afternoon with winds howling. I could see a wind advisory come out along with a wind chill advisory because of the dangerous wind chills coming in behind the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Cat might scoop up a solid dusting, but it will be more of a flizzard outside with so much wind. stay warm out there these next 48 hours!

Definitely more than coating so far. I just went outside using my Kestrel and got 24.1/13.4, which is impressive at this time of year. EDIT: Grass is almost completely covered. Definitely marking this as an inch of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 Pretty impressive little snowfall overnight. We have about an inch of snow. It has covered everything. The grass, driveway, and vehicles. Very very cold also with a current temp of 10 degrees! Wow just amazing for this time of the year. This is our third snow of the year already and I expect some records to be broken today and tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 Went out and did an official measurement and had roughly 1.5 inches of snow. Also temp has dipped to 7 degrees. Yeah just your run of the mill cold for November. The schools are on a 3 hour delay also. Thought they may cancel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
