I'm glad this looks like an event where almost everyone cashes in and gets something. Best of luck today to our friends in the Piedmont and down East! Awesome bro!

I've certainly been rooting for the victims of the snow hole in Wake County to get something decent out of this; snow just working into that area now.

BooneWX Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 HRRR keeps it cranking here in my area for a few more hours. Time will tell! That back edge is flirting with the TN line to my west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Penland Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 2.5" and still coming down decent at times. Fixin' to head down to the Gorge with the camera. Hopefully get some nice stuff if sky conditions will improve a bit. Watauga County did an awful job with the roads this time. They were stupid bad at 8AM. Improved a bit now but even the main roads are super slick still. Also no WWA from Blacksburg is absolutely nuts too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Ridge_Escarpment Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Pushing 4 inches and the Lee side enhancement is still cranking. Euro GFS and NAM sucked for this area. RAP and HRRR winners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 ULL cutting off and surface low forming in NW SC currently. Should tip back forcing and move the band back West a tad. Wouldn’t be surprised to see it snowing again in parts of Buncombe co. soon. This one has been fun and very interesting. 500mb chart Notice the neutral to negative tilt of the forcing right there on the GA/SC line. Surface chart Surface low beginning to crank up, not the nose of low pressure pushing back. It will be interesting to see if the coastal development will help push this back even a little more. I am have a ball tracking this storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the NWS shares some blame for the poor road conditions this morning in Watauga. When you spend time downplaying the storm, issuing zero advisories and putting out a forecast last night that said "less than one inch," it's hard for road crews to feel any urgency.

WNC_Fort Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Blacksburg downplays everything in the High Country. It is awful. No advisories and they question a lot of incoming reports. I think we would really benefit from having a NWS in Asheville, one specifically focused on the mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I'm glad you lee side guys are getting a nice snow out of this, I have been hurt many times from down-sloping, March 2009 still stings. I have about 3.5 here in Danville and think I can get to 7 pretty easy hoping for 8+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 We ended up with 3 on the dot after going out and taking multiple measurements. It is so beautiful out. So far this winter has been a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought living under FFC back in their conservative days was bad but Blacksburg has been junk this winter. No excuse for the misses they've had. I would be fine with them playing catch-up on this storm but they didn't even try that, just pretending it's not happening I guess. Side note: they still haven't scraped 105 in front of my house here in Foscoe. -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooneWX Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Just measured 3.5 with snow still falling. Crazy that this storm arguably warranted a winter storm warning and we didn’t (still don’t) get an advisory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlatLander48 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Well, it appears the storm has ended here. Solid 4 inches, i'll take it. Once again the models completely sucked outside of Euro(for the most part, and does get credit for the first one to have a bullish run), Nam, ICON, and of course the extreme short range models.

Tacoma Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Had 3 solid inches here, Gsp sorta missed it again, know its tough to predict in the mountains around Asheville, we've already had our average so anything else the rest of the winter will be a treat or icing on the cake, we have a long way to go so i think we will top the average in Buncombe County for sure, great winter so far.

Tacoma Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Hunter Ward said 3- 6 inches around Buncombe County, great forecast man, you've been right on with all the storms so far, can't wait to track the next storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Yeah great forecast Ward. We have several 4 to 5 inches across the county. Even though we didn't get the brunt of the storm it was a good one. I definitely thought wrong on this storm to my surprise. Glad everyone cashed in on a few inches.
