Just had a squall here that laid down a good half an inch in about 15 minutes. I'm right at 4 inches, hope to get 2 or 3 more tonight The wind is also increasing dramatically. Just had a gust to 41. My temp is down to 16.4°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predicted you would have more snow than all of us and double digits, so you need 6 more inches of snow. Get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roads are turning white at about 2500 feet and things are really starting to pick up. Yes the wind is flat out howling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatLander48 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I have a dusting. Started today with a dusting,then it melted. Maybe 1 inch is a good goal for now lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatLander48 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Now getting the heaviest snow squall I've had all winter. I'll take it even if it doesn't last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BretWx Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Surprised by the rates here (a few miles from Hendersonville) - A healthy dusting on everything. Nothing on the radar (?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a few small flakes at home and can see the mountains around Suches are white. Great way to end the trip. Hope yall continue to get hammered.

BooneWX Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 in Surry County for a couple of days visiting family. Quite disappointed to be missing this, but there are a few flurries down here as well. Maybe I'll get a surprise with a stray snow shower or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 As the low is pulling away up north, the snow comes in squalls now. Had steady, hard upslope from about 3 to 7:30. Now you'll have nothing, even see a star or two, then 5 minutes later it's white out. I've had 3 in the past hour that laid down an inch total and they didn't last more than a few minutes each. I love when that happens. With the wind, no good way to measure but I've got at least 6+. This might be the last event for what has been a pretty terrible winter, but I'll take. And Jason, .

AirNelson39 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Was beginning to give up hope on this NWFS event as we didn't have a flake for hours and clear skies. Just looked out and have a pretty decent squall. Hope we get several more, if not, this was a poor performer as well.

I don't think this will be the last snow to track, we all know we've had big snows in April. Hang on til the middle of April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hang on til the middle of April. You could be right. Time will tell. Looks like the last of the snow is moving through now. Nice shower to cap things off. I have no clue what my final total is with this wind. I do know it's cold. I'm at 5.7°. It's been a fun few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatLander48 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Well I got screwed by the NWFS as well. Looked promising as I got home yesterday, but didn't amount to over a dusting. No college for me today however so I'll take it. On to the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirNelson39 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I'd say we ended up with 1-2" here in Boone with the majority of it falling this morning between 8-10am. I'd like to know what the ratio was during that time because it was extreme powder.

nchighcountrywx Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 Snow has hung around on the ground in the NC High Country today. Looks like it takes a temperature during the day of 20 degrees or less in March to overcome the March sun angle to prevent rapid melting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoJoe Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 My temp rose almost ten degrees overnight. Warmer air inbound! Like Bill pointed out, still a lot of snow on the north facing slopes. Made for a great ATV ride yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarvelMountain Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 21 at sunrise after 16 yesterday. Bitter for St. Patrick's Day. Had flurries all afternoon on Tuesday. Here's one last pic from Saturday here in Otter Creek Valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoJoe Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Nice little soaker train set up over the northern mtns this afternoon. I've already picked up .71 and it's still coming down. Looks like it'll last a while longer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacoma Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 well is there no fantasy snow even for the mtns.? thought by now we would have something to watch for the mountains or are the mountains also done for this winter if that's what you want to call it.

I am calling for a 12"+ snow on Easter; epic snow in the spring to top off epic warmth during the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Made it up to Sugar on Friday. Back in January we sat out the good conditions due to peak pricing and crowds. By late February I wondered if we'd blown our chance at scenic natural snow. Friday still had the look of mid-winter even though conditions were typical spring ice to mashed potatoes. Oh well, still better than a day at the office! Really feel bad for the ski areas. Thought it could not get worse than 2012 or 2013, until 2016, but 2017 wow. Sugar gave up on a couple runs weeks ago. Thankfully Gunters Run was still open for business. My Omas Meadow was closed but Gunters more than makes up for it served by the high-speed lift. Oma is a nice cruiser; but, Gunters is a true blue, steep but wide enough to work. Perhaps we can plan some local mountain vacations in the summer. NC Highcountry and Gatlinburg could both use the economic lift after a mild winter and the fires respectively. Hopefully it'll be a lovely summer followed by a snowy winter.

Tyler Penland Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Had some decent hail out of the storm earlier today. Sad that's probably the only way I'm seeing frozen precip for the rest of the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
