NWNC2015 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 My forecast would be a flurries to a dusting from central Alleghany to eastern Buncombe County. Few hours later and very close to what I was thinking! Minus there being 4-8" higher spots but he does have a disclaimer at the bottom so spot on I think.

SnoJoe Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Snowing lightly at Wolf Ridge per web cam. I would expect that means Joe is cashing also. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk You are right my friend ! I've got mod/light snow at the moment. Temp is at 30.1 so I guess I'm good there. Hope you missed those wicked storms in your area last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you missed those wicked storms in your area last night. Tornado was well inland (I posted about it in the severe thread) We did have some nasty weather here though. 70 mph wind gust & .97" in 11 minutes!!! Enjoy the snow Joe & thanks for asking.

Met1985 Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 Yep snowing in several spots know across the mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeGold Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Yep snowing in several spots know across the mountains. Very heavy snow now falling in the Balsams..I estimate 1"+ hours rates. Upstream radars looks impressive with orographics slated to only increase as winds at 850mb increase out of the SW so 6" + seems likely. Even at Balsam Gap..heavy snow has reached all the way down to that elevation per webcam: http://brpwebcams.org/cam/5/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirNelson39 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Been dumping here in Boone, at this rate and looking at radar I saw we do better than the 1-3" which would put us better than Sunday nights event.

FlatLander48 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Get just over 2 inches here in ashe. Another fun snow to watch even though it was nighttime. I have still 0 reason to think we see a good snow next week. I don't see it getting cold enough even for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EURO, PARA EURO, and EPS disagrees especially for your area.. hard to disagree with that combo.. GEM ensembles agree too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring 7 days out, I'm more concerned with the trends for the High pressure up to the north than anything else. We don't have anything to bring cold air here besides it, so it needs to be in a good spot to see anything other than maybe some backside snow. Quite frankly I don't believe in the Euro this year lol. And that hasn't burned me yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeGold Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Based on the observations of 4" at Beech, 4" at LeConte and snowfall amounts recorded in Maggie Valley, Waynesville, Balsam, Mt. Pisgah etc....plus the 0.3" precip totals that were observed in Haywood county downsloped from the Balsams....which I usually double to get the approximate ridge top total based on previous observations..minimum of 4" fell in the higher elevations of the Balsams with 6" quite possible so overall pleased on how it turned out. It did appear that the duration of the snow was shorter than expected when prevented boom totals but nevertheless one of the better quick hitting storms of the season.
