They say it is a result of the 2008 recession when fewer trees were planted by tree farmers. Trees planted around then are the ones being harvested this year. Some cut your own farms are reportedly not even opening this year. Have any of you mountain folk heard anything about this? Still plenty of trees around here. Jackson county (the next county over) is a huge producer. We went and cut ours down yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk The latest NAM has come in a touch colder and for the foothill locations as this is where the cold air will hold the longest at even 12Z and 15Z its 33 degrees after being 30 for about 6 hours.

FlatLander48 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 On my phone so cant do links well, but the FV3 has a really nice solution in the 6th that's worth looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Ridge_Escarpment Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 The 12Z NAM and 3k NAM is a major ice storm for the foothills. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t they slightly overdo the last ice storm y’all had? They were showing high amounts then, I believe ? But with temps probably a few degrees lower than models are showing, probably a little dicey into tomorrow morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the NAM did over do the ice accum, however, there appears to be slightly more cold air to work with for a few hours. I’m in Florida and it’s supposed to be close to 75 today I’m just worried about my flight back into Asheville tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landof2rivers Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Small flurries here as well, off Poplar Grove and Russ Cornett. Should have said I was in Boone, not Eden. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvegas-wx Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I'm up here for the weekend with you mountain peeps staying in Newland at a rental. Just drove through Banner Elk and the mountains all around Grandfather are covered in frozen fog. Very pretty day, but a precursor of things to come tonight. Definitely looking for a decent 6-8 hour event overnight. Leftover food, warm fire and a comfy recliner is all I need to make this memorable. 28° and heavy fog here on 221 now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoJoe Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 The wind started to blow 20mph about 30 minutes ago and my temp rose 2.8 degrees in 25 minutes. Just started to rain at 33.7 degrees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherHawk Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Frozen Fog today up here in Todd...very pretty...and very cold here ATM at 28...it's that snowy metallic-scent of crisp cold air that just hugs you when you walk outside, just feels like snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatLander48 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Here is the scene outside of my backdoor at the cottages. Close to an inch of windblown snow. Couple of sleet pellets falling as I took this. Think this classifies as the heaviest snow here so far lol. .

Boonelight Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Just came back from Food Lion on 421 outside of Boone. Starting to get freezing rain here. There was lots of freezing fog on 421 earlier, making quite the winter scene on the trees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been like that all day here. So nice to see. Such a pretty scene along 421 going into Boone. I don’t think my location got above freezing all day. Just freezing rain here now though. Snow would be nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
