Hvward Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Was in Asheville proper and they had about 3 inches on grass and was snowing constantly at a medium rate while on Tunnel road at the mall. Got a mile or so up the road to near UNC Asheville, and there was barely patches of snow and none falling. The micro climates up there are incredible! Lol glad you made the trip! Nwfs cranking up now over downtown. No returns on radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Same here. Just cracked the 7 inch mark. Wind is really starting to crank here again as well. Just noticed GSP is going to allow the WSW expire at 8pm but issued a WWA until tomorrow morning with up to 3 more inches overnight, An amazing first storm this early. It has been simply beautiful. Snowing all day just like a winter storm. I think rates will pick up with the wind. Look for rates to increase before dusk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hvward Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Yep the cloud deck as really lowered toward the boarder. Looks just black towards th house from town. Nice! Check out the returns on Morristown radar starting to really show up. You could be in for another 2" or so! Maybe another dusting here in downtown.

franklin NCwx Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Ull's are now in my top three of things I hate. We always seem to be on the edge of precipitation here. O'well it's early in the season and I'm sick anyway so it doesn't matter too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hvward Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Sadly my gopro cut off halfway through the time-lapse but still pretty neat. Also some shots of the heavy snow this morning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2DEtQmMyvg&feature=youtu.be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Here are some pics from my sledding adventure to Blowing Rock, NC, this morning. The intersection of US 221, the BRP, and Shull's Mill Road has fantastic hills for the kids to sled on. The wind was just ripping the whole time, though; so that made it a little difficult on the kids. I would say that there was a good 4+ inches of snowfall there, and it was over a foot deep in certain low spots where the wind piled it all up. The temp was a steady 28 F there. About 2 PM, we went back down the mountain to my parents' house in Lenoir, just 18 miles away, and it was 48 F with the sun coming out. It's amazing how different the mountain microclimate is. This is the spot from Google Earth for any others that live nearby and might want to go sledding at some time in the future: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Really cool Calc...looks like a good day Thanks, Grit, it was fantastic to be doing this on November 1. I'm hoping it will be a good indicator of what is to come this winter. Met1985 and Hvward, thanks for sharing your pics too. Great stuff all around. I really like the one of the maples in Asheville, Hvward. I've also seen that one in Brad P's twitter feed, so he must have picked up your photo somewhere. It's truly beautiful.

Hvward Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 One of my Facebook friends posted a pic of 8" in Beverdam close to where it comes to the parkway.

Met1985 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Joe what I mentioned earlier is exactly what is happening know. We are seeing moisture break back out along in TN along the spine of the Appalachians. It is hammering at home and here in town again. Has not stopped at home all day. Ward if I am right about the convective nature of these bands some spots could pick up another 3-6 inches just tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like you do generally well in most winter storms we have regardless of what the setup is going by obs. posts I've seen you report over the past couple of winters. Enjoy the snow for the both of us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ward if I am right about the convective nature of these bands some spots could pick up another 3-6 inches just tonight. You were right. Looking at the Jackson, Ky radar you see the moisture ramping up a bit. For my area at least, it's a good station to go for upstream activity.

WxBlue Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Just got back from Roan Mountain and Sam's Gap. That was intense at Carvers Gap! Details to come as soon as I'm done with pics... (It'll be posted on obs thread) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy the snow for the both of us! Thank you. I love the weather especially snow and happen to live in a great place for snow in the SE. I love to share my obs and pics with the board because I know most here in the SE only see a fraction of the snow I get to see even though it is never enough lol.

Met1985 Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 Radar looks great for some NW flow snow. We have been getting these bands in and out with high wind gusts also. We are sitting right near 9 inches of snow on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLweather Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Nice shots 85. smdh @ this ULL/NWF event. Very impressive 1st winter storm observations from you and joe this year. So just guessing on average this is close to one tenth your annual snow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Forgot about this one but here is 4"+ on my car this morning. Fun event for most everyone is WNC and a great way to kick off the winter. 1/4 of the way to climo already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just guessing on average this is close to one tenth your annual snow? Yeah close to it. This is an impressive event for a lot of people. We got a very impressive trough and ULL. I think that our winter pattern could be something similar to this. Robert has a great write up on Facebook about a split flow forming this month.
