I wish sugar would do a night pass like Winterplace, WV and Cat. $700 is absurd for a pass. I only paid $600 for my epic local pass for the Vail resorts. It's fantastic. Yea the season pass is way overpriced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoJoe Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Same as you guys, some flurry action and an occasionally shower. Down to 29.4 so things should start freezing up. Wind has been wicked the past couple of hours. Had a max gust to 44. I'm not staying up all night for an inch of snow so I hope I see something before say one. I'm batching it tonight so I figured I'd crack open a bottle of the good stuff, turn the floods on, sit by the fire in my underwear, and hopefully watch it snow.

What are you cracking open if you don't mind me asking? We should start to see some better returns around 10 or 11 at the latest I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a bottle of Booker's Rye but might have to go with the Monkeys Shoulder, one of my favorites. Yeah, probably not until that piece of energy swings through later. Have a sky full of stars now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiftMania Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I had a nice ride down the crooked road (40 west) to route 8 toward Floyd. Ran into some great snowshowers on the way. I'm sure it was nothing like late tonight will be but still great to see my first flakes of the season. Possibility for a coating to 1 inch.

SnoJoe Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Still no snow but this is easily my biggest wind event for the season here. Just had a gust to 73! That's coming from an ultrasonic wind sensor that's usually dead on. My house is pretty sturdy but that one rocked it good. Strange because nothing else has been above the mid-50's.

Yeah, it's absolutely deafening when you walk outside. I don't see surrounding reports that are as high as mine. I think right now it's a matter of trajectory. My house faces exactly 305 degrees and that's where that gust was from. How old is that towhead now that we all had to gush over and congratulate you on ?

Bob2016 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 North wilkesboro area in foothills was like I yeow cold freezing this afternoon around 3pm I was walking in that wind and it felt like 18 or 20 degrees the way it had felt on my face and just got home it's getting cloudy out there the way it looks, and I think models missed it. The weather channel yah yah they say old stuff no precipitation of any kind they say temperature in low 50's what a joke it's cold out THERE.... I don't believe what they say my post what you all said yep it's right mountain and foothills are cold up here i love it makes me sleep so good.

Yeah, it's one of the places they'll closed just with the anticipation of bad weather. I guarantee the gate is locked on Hwy 80S in Busick already. SnapDragon is OK. Food's good. Very small place though, tends to get crowded quick. His restaurant next door "The Garden Deli"is a great lunch though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
