And def foothills and piedmont I'm not implying they are similar events but, during the December 2009 storm we started as snow then went to rain then back to heavy snow. We ended up with 16" + 2" more of flow snow on the back side for a total of 18" in Weaverville. Could there be mixing.....sure. With the QPF amounts shown on most of the guidance how relevant can it be? I guess if 3' is your goal you're out of luck. If 12"+ makes you happy you'll have grins galore!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never got out of the twenties. After last week temps and the start of this one, I notice on a 4 wheeler ride today that the ground is starting to lock up. Some surface mud in the daytime but definitely cold underneath. Even the flurries tonight are sticking to everything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I scheduled an AirBNB for the holidays this weekend. It was done back in October, as I thought we could get away with it since it's early Dec. If we don't go we lose the reservation. Being a weather weenie, I am pretty deadest on going and just preparing to get stuck for a couple days. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
