SnoJoe Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 how much snow have you gotten this year? A little over 13 inches. Most of that is nickle and dime stuff that came in Nov. The exception being the Halloween storm. Almost nothing since the first of Dec. I know some would think I shouldn't complain but expected totals are relative to normal and what you're use to. I should be around 30 by this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 We have some snow this morning but not really sticking. Joe there are a couple of impulses coming in but I guess nobody is looking at the models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxBlue Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Noticed that even Ray's Weather has snow ending as flurries by midnight tonight. I thought snow showers were to last through Tuesday. It's sad that we can't even get clipper or NWFS snow in the mountains this year. #FailWinter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Been snowing all day here but not accumulating. The energy coming in from Illinois looks very interesting. Let's see if that can hold together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Everything dusted over know with a very heavy burst of snow. That moisture coming in from the NW is going to hammer the boarder counties to tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarvelMountain Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Temp has dropped from 51 to 39 in four hours here. Very windy out of the NW. Lots of snow clouds drifting over, but nothing yet. I can dream, can't I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NGTim Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Everything dusted over know with a very heavy burst of snow. That moisture coming in from the NW is going to hammer the boarder counties to tonight. not sure if this thread includes NGA mtns, but I'll give it a shot. Yes I notice that next wave is really diving down thru Western KY and TN. not sure if that means its gonna come relatively far south enough and give me some flurries here in nga, or if the system is going to really make it do a quick turn to the east when it gets cranked up. either way, looks like you guys are in business.

I think y'all have a chance tonight with this dropping down from the north northwest. I actually think y'all Will do well in the impulse that will come in tomorrow and tomorrow night according to the GFS. I would keep my eye out though tonight.

SnoJoe Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Moisture is really blossoming in TN with that band coming in. So far so good. It's making a bee line for the southern mtns and N GA. Looks like it'll be south of us. Good luck, maybe a nice surprise for some! We've had a few flurries today but that's it. It's cold though. Temps started nose diving around 3 this afternoon. Down to 20.5 with wind gusts to 28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeznado Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Madison County is great if you like old, rural buildings and also in a good spot for NWFS/clipper coming through Sunday evening/Monday morning. One of better mountains for snow photography is definitely Max Patch, also in Madison County, but Roan Mountain at 6,200 feet is also worth a long drive as well if you want little extreme weather. Best waterfalls are mostly in Brevard/Franklin areas, and not in prime NWFS areas, but Soco Falls between Maggie Valley and Cherokee might get some NWFS. In fact, Soco Gap nearby is a great starting point for most snow events in WNC but I'm not 100% sure that's a place to be for this upcoming clipper. Personally, Roan Mountain/Carvers Gap is a fun little Appalachian Trail adventure with some old barns on the way at lower elevations as long as you take US-19 through Burnsville. There will be some rime ice and some NWFS at the top on Monday, I'm sure. Thanks for the tips- the Roan Mtn area was nice yesterday, about 5" and some wind. Will try Soco Gap today.

WxBlue Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Nice dusting at UNCA now. This event will count toward my personal snowfall record as such, although it'll remains at 4". Technically, I'm up to 8" because of 6"-7" at Sams Gap on 11/1, but the record is for Asheville itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
