franklin NCwx Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Definitely not a once in a generation storm or even as good as last Decembers but a great way to start the winter! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eolian Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I am close to the Asheville mall and there's about 4" max because at some point during the night it was freezing rain here. My heat pump had iced over so much I had to free the fan blade & defrost the coils. Amazingly the power has only flickered twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strongwxnc Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Enjoy folks! Not trying to jump the gun but I’m going to declare the FV3 the new king lol.I agree but the 10:1 totals were a bit high down here. That 700 mb layer showed up hard around 1:30am. But, without that, I would have high the high end of GSP forecasted total at 12”. Going to say 5.5” and a win in my book!! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue_Ridge_Escarpment Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 FV3, Euro, and to a lesser extent UK win this storm. Big win especially for FV3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To show I am someone who loves snow. I shoveled my driveway, and by the time I was done, it was covered in another inch of snow. I loved it !!!This is definitely one of my favorite snows. Some pictures to show I am not exaggerating. It is crazy that the mall is that much different. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just measured over 12 here and still snowing. Looks like only another 30 minutes or so before it stops. Is it suppose to fill back in later?

Silas Lang Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Crazy the snowfall variation in Buncombe. Ncjoaquin, where are you located? Getting close to 8 inches South of downtown. Had a lot of sleet mix in so the snow pack is dense and crunchy. Going to be a glacier when it refreezes! Anyone excited for part 2 later tonight? HRRR and 3k Nam showing WNC filling back in pretty nicely. Think some of us could squeeze in a few inches if all goes well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen similar estimates around, so I don't think I am completely on an island. I am hoping part 2 comes around. That would be awesome.

I am also in West Asheville (actually just on the north side of Patton) and I haven't measured but I am guessing I got around 10 inches. I did see pictures from downtown that looked closer to 5-6, but it was just one picture. Lost power around 3 am or so, but back on this morning. Glad we ended up with a nice storm. I imagine we would have a few more inches if we didn't have that run of rain/sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiQuiDBuD Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Got about 10" before sleet and freezing rain. Lost power for about 10 hours, and tons of limbs breaking from the weight of the heavy snow that's been glazed with IP and ZR. It's beautiful outside!Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We amazingly never lost power. I kept seeing the blue flashes and it flickered but stayed on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
