I know its not a big deal but still love looking at it. Did check out the Blowing Rock cam this AM; saw what appeared to be two girls chunking snowballs at each other and third videoing the event; probably on Facebook by now. Nothing to see around here; it was 31 degrees IMBY when I woke up; dropped to 29 at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiftMania Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Left the house around 630ish to light flurries. I made my way to Callaway Rd just below 221 near Floyd and ran slam into white out conditions. Simply amazing the climo that exist in this county.

This is one of the best setups in a few years (we've haven't had many, and most weren't worth mentioning). Although I'm in agreement that this was not a perfect setup by any means.

SnoJoe Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Got a good inch, maybe more but it's so wind blown it's hard to tell. It was nice to see but going into the new year with only 2 inches of snow is pathetic. Things will have to dramatically pick up over the next several weeks for me to even reach half of my normal.

I think it's a safe bet to say we won't hit our averages this year for snow. It's gonna to take a long term(2-3 weeks) with several storms to get us where we need to be. Not saying winter is over or that it won't snow, I just don't think having 2 inches through two good snow months is gonna end well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookingnorth Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 You think Boone will have snow cover tomorrow? I could be driving thru there from Berea, KY to Durham so I'm curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My average is around 60 inches, if I hit half of that this year I'll be happy. All in all though, nice day today. Snow in air, Christmas decorations are still up, the whole fam is coming in today...I'll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not looking too good here either. I'm lucky enough to work all day instead of playing in it. Oh well if we can get next week's storm to do something for us I'm off all that weekend so maybe I'll have better luck then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Congratulations guys! On the snow. We had a dusting and that was it. Cold and windy but not much snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAD_Wedge_NC Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Conditions were perfect on Beech today. Moderate to heavy snow at times. Snow guns were cranking on the slopes. Temps were in the upper teens when I was there. Looked to be 2-4 inches of natural snow (could not get a good measurement due to the high winds). Had a really good time with the family and watching the "little ones" sled down the sled hill at the visitors center. Truly a winter wonderland....
