I want more snow and more cold. This time a month from now....sure, let's move on to spring. This is also a brutal blow to the ski resorts and I feel bad for those folks. At least this year they got January and part of December to work with, it's been worse the past several years compared to this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Foothills Snowman Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Stuck in mid 50’s and fog here in Surry County. May not make it to 70’s unless this breaks up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. They said last year was terrible - we were up over a weekend a bit back. Was hoping something would happen for next week - snake eyes. At least i will get my Brick Oven Pizza fix. .

SnoJoe Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Wedgie today and steamers all next week. We're going on our annual winter vacation tomorrow to "get away from the cold". Trading upper sixties for low eighties. Whoopie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckethead Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Starting the day off at 56°/53° at 4400'. That's not February weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This locked in furnace pattern for the Southeast we've had this month is going to create some very serious agricultural problems I'm afraid.

Tyler Penland Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 EPS starting to really lock in on a colder pattern around the 1st. Several members with big snows but no agreement at all on when. I'd say there's definitely some potential for another decent snow though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Colder pattern comes in when lift tickets go on discount. Anybody know how the snow is doing at the ski areas? Might even get winter systems in March! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's currently 64° here in Wolf and only getting down to the low 50s at night...so not so great for our ski resort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tacoma Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Guys we all know that winter is not over for us in the mountains, March is usually very brutal as far as winter weather, sorta surprised the ski slopes closed so early. I think everyone in the mountains will see cold and snow yet, maybe a couple of snow systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneWX Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Oddly saw some flakes mixed in with sprinkles today. Thought I was seeing things but I wasn't the only one in the Watauga County area to see it (per Facebook). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonhowl Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Not that we are going to be in a deep freeze but we would easily go 1.5 months before we see temps as consistently warm as last week. That ridiculous warm spell totally nuked the ski slopes; glad they had a good early season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacoma Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I think our chance of seeing some snow next week and the week after are looking pretty good for the mountains of wnc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying not to sound too negative since I absolutely want warm weather now instead of snow lol, but the chances for at least a really good NWFS are increasing, and could be potent for our entire subforum to see a bit of action *Have not looked at the 12z run yet of the GFS* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatLander48 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Surprised no one is mentioning the 3kNAM for tomorrow, not widespread, but decent totals given the past month for the favored areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nchighcountrywx Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Ray says nail it down or lose it. The big news in this forecast is one of the bigger wind events I've seen in the High Country in the past 20 years. A NW wind increases tonight with gusts to 60 mph later tonight, then in the 70 mph range Friday night. Higher elevations will be off the charts. Make preparation today. Otherwise, expect rain today becoming showers this afternoon and evening. Colder air crashes the party tonight. Snow showers and flurries are possible beginning around midnight and lasting into Friday morning (dusting at most but who could measure it anyway?). Skies clear late Friday. Saturday is chilly and windy (but not as windy as Friday). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoJoe Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Not a very pleasant day to get home from vacation. But maybe I'll see a flurry zoom by tomorrow. Things look pretty sloppy around here. Must have been pretty rainy the past 10 days. And warm. Some of the yellow bells have started to bloom and there are buttercups everywhere.

We hit 70 a few days ago up here. Just an unbelievable stretch of mild weather while you were gone. Back to reality now though, down to 39° already.
