SnoJoe Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hey Joe, what part of Yancey are you from? My family is from ramseytown I think it's occasionally called Egypt. Very close to me. I'm about 6 miles from the TN line at the head of the Nolichucky Gorge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K4CF Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Web cam at Wolf Ridge showing nice snow event currently. Model battle commences for the possible Mon storm. GSP overnight afd: GUIDANCE DISAGREES ON THE POTENTIAL WEATHER SYSTEM MOVING THRU ON MON. THE GFS HAS A WEAK FRONTAL SYSTEM MOVING THRU FROM THE NW WITH LITTLE GULF OR ATLANTIC IN FLOW. THE ECMWF HAS A STRONG FRONT MOVING IN FROM THE WEST WITH STRONG GULF INFLOW. SURFACE AND H85 TEMPS WOULD INDICATE SOME SNOW POTENTIAL ACROSS THE MTNS AND NRN TIER WITH MAINLY RAIN ELSEWHERE. HAVE GONE WITH A GUIDANCE BLEND AND KEPT POP IN THE CHANCE RANGE FOR NOW...WITH THE RAIN/SNOW LINE BASED ON SURFACE TEMPS. CONFIDENCE IS LOW IN THIS PORTION OF THE FORECAST WITH CHANGES LIKELY AS IT APPROACHES. Hello Don...Thanks for alerting me about the Monday system...I looked at Wunderground's in-house model, Best Forecast, and it's calling for 4 - 8" on Monday/Tuesday here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue_Ridge_Escarpment Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Bet Buladean is getting hammered. Iron mountain is tough on a summer day let alone a NWF snow storm. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thursday looks to be the only calm day around here this week and they keep the highways pretty clean so I wouldn't worry too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K4CF Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Bet Buladean is getting hammered. Heck ya! I drive a school bus for the school where I teach and when school is open, the kids always text me about their road conditions before I leave out in the morning. One kid on Hughes Gap road said he had 6" That may be a little overdone but probably spot on! Iron mountain is tough on a summer day let alone a NWF snow storm. Yikes. Oh yes. About 5 years ago, we dismissed school a lil too late. About 2/3 thru my route, I was looking at 4" of snow on NC 226 so I stopped and the remaining kids help me chain up the school bus. All kids were taken home with no problems but I got the strangest looks from stranded motorists at the top of Iron Mtn where I turned around...Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoJoe Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Just passed the 5 inch mark and it's absolutely hammering now. KC, are you getting in on this band ? Some of the best rates yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Yeah hammering here in waynesville also. Probably picked up two inches this morning already. Roads are a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 I see no reason why it does not snow all day looking at the radar. We are in a good flow now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowbird1230 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 2"-3" throughout Graham County..6" at 5400' on the Cherohala. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I see no reason why it does not snow all day looking at the radar. We are in a good flow now. Agreed flow looks very good. I would like the winds to get up a bit more though so the French Broad River Valley could get a bit of accumulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tacoma Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Yes as usual west asheville only getting flurries. we have gotten some descent accumulations out of this before but so far not a whole lot happening, grassy surfaces are white but we can't seem to get the snow to come down heavy enough this time, maybe this evening will produce a little more. maybe Sunday night Monday timeframe we can get a better system going.

Hvward Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I'm new to the mountains so what are some things to look for when dealing with a flow event? I like to look at the size of the fetch of moisture that is inbound, then I analyze the relative humidity at 700mb and then the adjacent winds at that level. 80%+ RH and winds of 25+kts should be enough to get flakes to valleys around 2000'. Without those high winds though, an abundance of moisture is required to get flakes out of the mountains. Hope that makes since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Looks like Western McDowell is getting some decent banding as well, i wonder if its anything more than flurries though due to downsloping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnweathernut Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Just on the other side of the hill from you guys in Erwin, TN. Technically a valley location, it's been "ripping all morning here" with temps in the mid 20s. Mountain locations on the TN side are well over 6 inches by this point. Estimated 4-5 here in the valley.Where did Snowless in Carrolton go? Hope the old boy is all right. Best of luck this makes it to your side today and tonight!

Hvward Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Nice tnweathernut! I am hearing reports of 6"-8" at wolf and 6" in Mars Hill. Those locations getting as much as they got with the first snow storm. Pretty impressive flow, I don't think it is underperforming with still 24hrs+ of flow left.

Problem about two inches, I'm on my way to bakersville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
