Lol tried to leave the house to drive around and Monta Vista Rd. is a disaster. 8 cars stuck on the hill just past The Rock Church. . Sand Hill Rd is the same way. I got me snow tires and I was going up the hill through people just all over not all over the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 GSP current snow forecast map lol.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Yeah Ward the road conditions have gone downhill quick. It will be getting dark in about 2 hours with the heavy cloud cover. Things will continue to go downhill. Yeah Met. And like you and HT mentioned moisture is not a concern. You can see the second piece of energy now surging ahead in the stream if you look at the KBMX radar. That will fill in the area of concern and the real fun begins.. maybe someone in here hears Thundersnow tonight? Hopefully! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncjoaquin Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 This from GSP would give us our double digits. WHAT...Heavy snow occurring. Plan on difficult travel conditions, including during the evening commute. Additional snow accumulations of 3 to 7 inches are expected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Sand Hill Rd is the same way. I got me snow tires and I was going up the hill through people just all over not all over the road.The moment I saw it accumulating on Smoky Park Highway this morning, I knew we were in trouble. I had my doubts about whether it would stick to the roadways during the daylight, but the atmosphere was about to lay down that thermal layer of initial snow before the sun came up and that was all she wrote, because rates never let up enough for any meaningful melt to occur.

We (rutherford county) let school out at 12. It was an hour to late. I have one bus stuck on its route towards the upper end of the county. Wating on a wrecker to pull him.

BretWx Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 A bit worried about my power if we get another 7 inches. This is so wild. To think, I had agreed that 1 inch would make me happy yesterday... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume the northwest side of Rutherford will cash in however, the entire is up to a possible total of 3-7" now. Visibility is well below a mile right now.

Met1985 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Looking at the NAM is crazy. Looks like an additional 6-10 inches from this one system. It has no breaks in precip. But we might see some light accumulations but do not worry. The radar will and is filling back in as we speak. Also don't look know but the NAM is really robust with some upslope snow on already 6+ inches. Going to be a great weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
