Met1985 Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 I hope so Ward. I appreciate you, Met, and others for keeping us weenies updated and informed. I rarely ever venture outside of this thread so it really helps to have you guys posting on threats specifically for the mountains.Thanks Joe for the kind words. Yeah this has been an agonizing winter so far. I'm really not sure where we are headed after this week. So much spread and inconsistencies will the models.

FlatLander48 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Winds have picked up, guess i'm getting closer to some flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoJoe Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Nothing much on radar but a good moderate shower now. Temp down to 28.7. Wind is howling. These dustings are pretty but getting old. We need a snow. At least I can enjoy the four "F's" this afternoon. Fire, football, food, Jagermeister ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatLander48 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 38 and sunny...Stop it lol. Ready to watch Seattle win by 30 and for Washington to edge the Packers. So I got two F's. Fire and football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we do need a snow. We have not even been under an advisory yet. So far this rear ranks right up there with 2011/12. We still have a ways to go but the current looks is not encouraging. Looks like the clipper system has all but dried up for the middle of the week and as for the weekend event I have no confidence at all in that working out.

WNC_Fort Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 These NWF and clipper system storms are when I am most jealous of you guys on the upper peaks. They often don't amount to much but i'd take a dusting on the ground over these 2-3 flurries we see down here. I hope we start to see a bigger system come our way in the coming weeks.

SnoJoe Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 It snowed pretty much all day with maybe a half inch on the ground. Still getting a light shower or two. Now down in the teens (19.7) and like NC_WX10 said, the wind is crazy. Sustained now at about 21 with gusts to 32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Thanks for the kind words Joe! Glad you have seen snow all day, it snowed almost all day while I skied at Wolf today too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End up with a nice little dump of snow on my mountain top per pic of adjacent Waterrock Knob at an elevation a few hundred lower down. The Blue Ridge Parkway is closed. https://www.facebook.com/BlueRidgeNPS/?fref=nf If you haven't already seen this..average annual snowfall map: http://www.weather.gov/images/gsp/climate/precip/AnnualSnowfall.png Rather shocking just how low the average annual snowfall is for the lower elevations. Note the 4.1" at the what is usually the snowy TN line but at a very low elevation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Sadly, im not located in the mountains/foothills anymore, im up in Danville, VA now, but as the old saying goes, "you can take the man out of the mountain, but you cant take the mountain out of the man" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 NAM is showing more NWF activity on Thursday after the clipper tomorrow. I hope we can get a little accumulation in the valleys, but clippers always get eaten by the high mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just what we got over the last 6 years and march 93 it's not adding up, I'm not even including Jan 96 or the mid/late 80's winters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for tomorrow nothing special to note of.I would like to see what they have for snowfall for each of those years. Hopefully we can get a wave to dig behind the cutter this weekend. If not, it's gonna be another 10 days at least for snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't add up for my home town either, only 5.4 inches? 2009/10 winter had 25 inches, 1995/1996 had close to 30, blizzard alone was 18, 2010-2011 was around 16, that's 3.0 per winter last 30 years already not even counting the snowy late 80s winters..

My dad passed last week and at his funeral, the pastor made that same statement. He lived in FL for the last two years of his life after 67 + near or on a mountain. He's in black mountain now at the veterans cemetery, on the mountain! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
