Shawn Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 That was pretty funny. Probably get slammed by ER, but what the hell. I think it was written for a certain local media met to ponder...maybe not. We have/had/ a certain met/mets on a certain news channel down here that literally would reword the CAE discussion to make a forecast for TV. We need more fun in the discussions just to see the outcome. Not less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowless in Carrollton Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Ok guys I think I'm headed to NC, but looking at the maps from WPC it looks like my best bet to see significant snow is east of the mountains ? I was thinking of going to West Jefferson but if I'm reading the maps right it looks like areas lower in elevation like Asheboro has a better chance.

Dunkman Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I'd say your best bet is Beech Mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowless in Carrollton Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 What do y'all think about highlands ? Should I be good there or keep going ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 What do y'all think about highlands ? Should I be good there or keep going ? Head to Cashiers, a motel room in Highlands is pretty pricey! I think that area or like the Linville area will do well. Really anywhere you go in WNC should have snowflakes flying tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowless in Carrollton Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 You mean like Greensboro? yes, what location in NC has the best chance of seeing significant snow ? Mountains, foothills, piedmont ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Mountains for sure man. If I were you I would try and find elevation right on the nc/sc border. That would either be Highlands or Cashiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Personally, I wouldn't chase this pending event anywhere. There will be a bigger event sometime this Winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkman Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Mountains. I think it's still a coin flip for those of us in the piedmont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjames1992 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Personally, I wouldn't chase this pending event anywhere. There will be a bigger event sometime this Winter. Exactly. Mountains. I think it's still a coin flip for those of us in the piedmont. Yeah, I think we have a shot at something and could even outperform the mountains (though the highest elevations will still get more in almost any scenario) depending on how the bands set up (as the 95% WPC map indicates), but we also have a much higher bust potential. The mountains should get theirs, no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 yeah but I'm kinda afraid to chase q bigger event like I did last year because I'm afraid of getting stuck Swing by and pick up Mack. That way if you get stuck it will be entertaining. Just stay clear of Jburns's area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burrel2 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Personally, I wouldn't chase this pending event anywhere. There will be a bigger event sometime this Winter. But will the next big event be on a Saturday night when most people are off work? I'm chasing because it only takes me 50 minutes to get to my inlaws' house on the NC/SC border at 3,000ft. I like visiting with them anyways so it's a win/win for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowless in Carrollton Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I know it may sound crazy to you NC folks to chase a 1-3 event but that's a big event for someone who lives south of I-20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of going to West Jefferson but if I'm reading the maps right it looks like areas lower in elevation like Asheboro has a better chance. I don't see how you could think Asheboro stands a better chance of getting significant snowfall than does West Jeff. I don't think you're reading those maps right. Map reading is important when going on a long trip, though. Just a public service announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
