Met1985 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Temp down to 29 degrees and we have a dusting on the outside table and the vehicles. The wind is just ripping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 You can really see the moisture starting to bank up along the Apps. It looks like upslope will really take off in the next hour or two for most of the mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 As the ULL drops down that is when our precip will really take off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valkhorn Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 The ULL is heading into east TN shortly. The upslope hasn't let up on the NC/TN border across the Smoky Mountains since late this afternoon - and to think the snow isn't going to likely ramp up until the ULL arrives. I wouldn't be surprised if there's already 4-6" on the ground up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valkhorn Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Yea, I think this has potential to overperform. We're getting some good rates in Asheville at the moment. Exactly. I think I'm going to drive out there soon, possibly earlier than I thought because I'd like to get at least parked and up the mountain before the big wave hits. That may not be possible though. We will see. I'm going to wait another 2 hours then decide. The roads into Gatlinburg look fine right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxBlue Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 We got taste of ULL while up on peak of Roan Mountain and I can see that mountain getting a foot at least and maybe 16-18 inches when this is over. This thing is intense above 5000 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Just got up to stoke the fire. We have heavy snow falling with 2 inches of snow on the ground. Very beautiful. Temp is at 26 degrees. Wind is still ripping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNC_Fort Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Yea no snow down here in Old Fort but just up the mountain in Black Mtn there was snow falling. The wind is really gusting down here though. I'm still holding out to see a few flakes down here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurricaneTracker Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Wow! Woke up to about 2.5" of pretty heavy snow here. Located about 20 miles southwest of AVL. Trees are weighted down and wind has been calm for hours. Snow has stuck to everything and it looks like a winter wonderland. Oh and it's only Nov 1! Sent from my steam-powered printing press.

Met1985 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Nice HT! Well woke up this morning to the excitement of about 4 inches of snow and whiteout conditions, Fixing to take some pics but wow. The wind is ripping still and the snow is flying. It looks like January out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Also the roads are covered but Jason Boyer just said Mt. Leconte has 16 inches at the top right know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheelwx Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Just off the parkway at Aho Gap (near Boone). 3,600'. 27 degrees and about 3" on the ground. Light snow at the moment. Nothing heavy. TW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valkhorn Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Also the roads are covered but Jason Boyer just said Mt. Leconte has 16 inches at the top right know! 17" now and counting. I attempted to make it to Rainbow Falls but Cherokee Orchard Rd was a mess and pretty much impassible as I got near the trailhead. Even if I got in there's the chance I couldn't get out. There's definitely snow at the bottom of the mountain - and it was 3-4" by the time I had to turn around (without really being able to see the edges of the road). If the road is that bad, the trail probably has more blowdowns than I can count so it's safer to stay at home. Sorry to disappoint but I'm not risking life and limb (pun intended) for that.

Lol man you got to take care of yourself. Just went out to take some pics and wow is it wicked. We have about 5 inches of snow on the ground and still hammering. The winds are sustained at about 20-30 mph and everything is covered even the main roads are. Still pouring the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
