Tyler Penland Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Getting excited about the prospects tomorrow night/Friday. I'm down in G'burg with the GF who's up from 'Bama. Hoping she can see some flurries up on Newfound before she starts back south tomorrow. Looking like a fun after-dark drive home for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better hope shes staying past 8pm. Otherwise she'll be too early. And 8pm would be the earliest I think flurries will start falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 It's not snow but an impressive cluster of storms and rainfall tracking over TN towards us. Should get some good soaking rains tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing that worries me is that when the rain is falling it will be a warmer rain with the highest temperatures tomorrow morning. I don't actually know if the temperature of the rain or the ground temps while it is raining really effect it, just a feeling it might??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash, if you like cold with a stiff wind you'll be fine. :-) And it being Christmas week they're going to blow as soon as temps allow. EVERY gun will be cranking. To Sugar's credit, they can white that mountain out if they want to. Just tough to ski in sometimes. Dress for it. The way it looks, temps will crash hard by sunset. Rarely ever see flow snow not stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, that is my heaven right there, for more than one reason. 1.) the snow and wind will soften the snowpack which makes easier skiing. 2.) tourists and most normal people don't like it so the people that like the extremes like me are the only ones on the slopes. 3.) No kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wind has picked up considerably though. Just had a gust to 23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
