AirNelson39 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I'd say we are around 14" here in Boone. This NWFS is extremely fluffy, almost looks like fake snow you buy at Christmas time. Pretty moderate at times even with partial sunshine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not even counting pre-storm NWFS that got us another inch. What an incredible week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Great totals from our mountain crew! I consider myself a resident of the foothills, since I lived over 20 years in Lenoir, even though I now live in Hickory. A slightly disappointing total of 5 inches of snow/sleet combo here IMBY, but the kids and I have really enjoyed it yesterday and today (except when sleet was pinging us in our faces). Looking forward to the next one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeGold Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Not sure how much fell on my mountain but closest report was 18.5 inches above Maggie Valley. With a much higher elevation and with Maggie Valley down slope from this event...might have ended up with 2 feet...3 feet fell in the Smokies and final maximum of 4 feet in Eastern WV and small part of Maryland appears likely with 40 plus totals already reported.

Rainforrest Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Picked up another half inch this morning bringing my total to 15 3/4 for this event. Got 2 inches earlier in the week bring total to 17 3/4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavarreDon Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Well, looks like things are winding down. As usual their were over & under performers. I think the usual lesson are always reinforced with a storm like this. Don't get to high, don't get to low, patience, ect. It was a great storm to track & live vicariously thru you all. I'm always looking at models but not the best reader of them. Last weekend when I looked. I saw some players but it was more of a gut feeling that this would would be a good one. Happy for all of you and will pop back in when the time is right. Congrats to all and thanks for letting me be a de facto part of this group. As I've said before your a special crew!

Tacoma Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 fellows do you think we will get to 40 today with all the snow cover, I'll be surprised if we make it to 35 myself. if there was hardly any snow I would believe it but there is just to much snow cover that kinda keeps you in the deep freeze.

nchighcountrywx Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 All NWS GSP Storm Reports from the Winter Storm are showing in a sortable searchable workbook. You may access a copy here: http://wnharrell.com...ormReports.xlsx Note the 2 largest reports in the KGSP area are 18" and 19". I do not see where Mount Mitchell was logged as a Local Storm Report with their reported 60" total accumulation from the storm.

tnweathernut Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Don't look now guys, but the 12z EPS shows a perfect track for the southern apps regarding the late week system.

MikeGold Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Mt Mitchell weather observations are taken at the 6200 foot level...the same elevation as my mountain top. The up slope winds where not quite as favorable locally as they were on Mt Mitchell but still..might have underestimated the amount of snow that fell in the Plotts. The mountain is completely shut in with nobody currently living up there during the Winter time so probably won't find out what actually fell.

calculus1 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Totals per Rays Weather Reports Catawba County Hickory 8" That Hickory measurement is a little suspect. We had lots of sleet that really cut into the snow totals. MBY measured 5 inches of snow/sleet combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on all the snow! Happy for my friends on the hill to my east..... Don't believe it...nope not gonna do it lol. I'm calling Jonas the last storm of January just because I'm so tired from not sleeping waiting for the thing that it's gonna take a few days to catch up. But who knows, maybe next week will be interesting. i'm still shocked by the 66 inch totals for Mt. Mitchell, I'm fully aware of the up slope potential there...but 66? Oh well, here's to hoping a dry hole doesn't eat half of our snow on the next one. Maybe see you guys in a day or two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
