Hvward Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Getting excited about this one. Trying to finish up my fall Asheville timelapse before all the leaves blow off today. Beautiful aky right now with whisping cirrus clouds above. From my iphone so qualify not the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaculaWeather Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Clingman's Dome road is already closed and they will be closing Newfound Gap road later. Dang it, I sure wish I was there! My wife didn't want to make a road trip. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told my wife last night that if I had bought your property, I'd be sitting up there waiting on the snow to fall!!! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeGold Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I told my wife last night that if I had bought your property, I'd be sitting up there waiting on the snow to fall!!! :-) Probably should mention that road plowing is not allowed in that subdivision...and true this storm will probably not strand anyone up there but some of the drifting could be problematic. (Last Winter, a couple of individuals were stranded for 2 weeks above the 5500 foot level.) Unfortunately, I won't be there for this storm but I will get to watch some snow showers locally this afternoon as snow is knocking on the door step right now here in Michigan.

WxBlue Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Me and two others are planning on leaving AVL around 6 to go up to mountains. I've no idea about location at this moment, but two other guys know what they are doing so I'm confident it'll be a good chase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeGold Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 If you look closely-can see the first light virga falling just above the Smokies. With temps in the mid 30's..light snow could start to fall in a couple of hours. http://www.nature.nps.gov/air/webcams/parks/grsmcam/grsmlargerimage.cfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 are you in a nice upslope (NW facing) spot in Yancey county? Enjoy the storm, jealous We usually do pretty well with upslope. My mountain faces NNW and my house is about 4100 feet. We're about 6 miles from the Tn line. Very pretty but remote and rugged so there's only a handful of people that live around here. Still a rain/mostly snow mix. Temps dropping painfully slow, 33.1. Only .6 degrees in the past hour. The slightest dusting is appearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hvward Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Probably me to. The wind has really turned wicked out there. Still some clear skies but temp is down to 30 degrees. Mine is down to 39.4! We can see freezing from here lol. Got my go pro ready to stick to the back of my car in the parking lot. Thinking I will do 30 sec interval pics and try to time-lapse the whole event in around 15 seconds. Should be pretty neat if all works out. Also got my other video camera ready to document. Critical thickness values are plummeting, it won't be long now for you getting into the heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
