I did this morning as I got down to 18.6. Highs stayed in the twenties today with a high of 29.2. With the wind chill, the 4F's were in full force (fire, friends, food, football) !!!!!

Heck yeah joe! We had a high today of 36. Spent the day with family, got a Christmas tree, then some Christmas lights. Worked on that this evening .  Know dinner and a movie with the wife.

It was nice to be one of you mountain guys for a long weekend and get to post in the mountain thread.  You all are blessed to be able to wake up every day in such a beautiful place.  Hopefully, we'll be able to join you there one day.

The dew point is 10 here currently. Single digits in spots across the western foothills and into Boone. The NC ski resorts must be loving this weather. 

I'm not sure about Sugar and Beech, but App is opening tomorrow. and since the winds died down finally it must be really nice for snowmaking.

I am afraid that Shetley is the new Nostradamus. It apparently is going to stay warm and dry forever. Until he starts honking for cold and wet we might as well forget about it. I was thinking earlier that maybe if the whole SE board offered him something we could put an end to this horrid weather. Maybe burnt offerings?

Several posters in this thread will have shoveled/swept snow off their sidewalks on more than one occasion before the Christmas Holliday. Patience, it's coming

416 AM EST MON NOV 28 2016  

TONIGHT IS WHEN THINGS GET A BIT MORE CHALLENGING. FOR DAYS THE  
EXPECTATION HAS BEEN THAT REMARKABLY STRONG MOISTURE FLUX WOULD  
OCCUR IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE FRONT, WITHIN A 50-60 KT LLJ  
AND A GULF CONNECTION, DEPICTED AS BEING UNIMPEDED BY CONVECTION  
ALONG THE COAST. NOW THAT THE EVENT IS IN THE RANGE OF THE HI-RES  
GUIDANCE THEY MAKE US QUESTION WHETHER THE ABUNDANT MOISTURE WILL  
PLAY AS MUCH OF A ROLE AS ONCE THOUGHT, IN GENERATING SIGNIFICANT  
QPF. THE WRFS ARE PRODUCING MAINLY JUST UPSLOPE-DRIVEN PRECIP  
UNTIL IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE FRONT, AND EVEN ONCE THE UPPER  
DIVERGENCE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT JET STREAK ARRIVES TONIGHT, THEY  
PRIMARILY PRODUCE PRECIP IN UPSLOPE AREAS. ONCE AGAIN THE WISEST  
CHOICE SEEMED TO BE TO CONCENTRATE POPS MORE ALONG THE RIDGES AND  
TO TONE DOWN QPF A BIT. THE BIGGEST CHANGES ARE OVER THE PIEDMONT,  
OF COURSE, GIVEN THE RELATIVE LACK OF TERRAIN. POPS HAVE GENERALLY  
BEEN CAPPED IN THE HIGH-CHANCE TO LIKELY RANGE BELOW THE FOOTHILLS.  
  
THE STRONG MIDLEVEL WINDS DO POSE SOME CONCERNS OF THEIR OWN. THOUGH  
WE'LL BE IN A WARM ADVECTIVE PATTERN, WHICH WILL IMPEDE MIXING  
DOWN INTO THE VALLEYS AND MORE POPULATED AREAS, IT IS LIKELY THAT  
RIDGES WILL BE EXPOSED TO SUSTAINED WINDS OF 30-40 MPH AND PERHAPS  
AN OCCASIONAL GUST ABOVE 40. THE PEAK WILL BE IN THE EVENING  
AND VERY EARLY MORNING HOURS AS THE LLJ CROSSES THE MOUNTAINS,  
BUT WINDS START TO RAMP UP THIS AFTERNOON. HENCE WE WILL HOIST A  
WIND ADVISORY FOR AREAS ABOVE 3500 FEET, VALID THRU 12Z TUE.
