BretWx Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Picked up about another inch this morning. Maybe we’ll squeeze out another... Phew! Felt good to get some actual sleep last night. No more internal clock waking me up at 1AM to check the models.. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Moderate snow. Temp actually rose overnight almost 2 degrees to 30.2. Looks like maybe 2 inches since it started back for a storm total of 16 so far. This has been a great weekend! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoWeatherman Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Another solid 3 inches over night and still snowing. Temp is 28.2. Gives me about 16 total storm. Yesterday was super windy with gusts frequently over 40. This new 3 is nice as the wind is mostly calm so it just accumulates nice on everything. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strongwxnc Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 No change over here. Maybe shortly! In other news, I think the folks at south mountain state park need to be checked on . 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next time I do this I need to get an airbnb with some elevation. I was at the red roof inn off the interstate and ended up with maybe 12” on grass, a lot of which was sleet. Saturday afternoon while nothing was sticking in town I drove up to a GPS indicated 2700’ and the ground/roads were white. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started as snow here when at the bottom of the hill was sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirNelson39 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I’m amazed at how little wind we’ve had here for this storm. Virtually no wind yesterday or today. I can’t remember ever having a big snow like this and not having a lot of wind in the mountains. This will make for some great drone shots when the snow quits.

Buckethead Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Picked up another 4.5" since last night up here. That puts me at 15.25" with moderate snow still falling. It's noticeably warmer outside too this morning. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenc Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Are their any youth hostels open this time of year y'alls way? I can't bear another Sleet Fest imby. I'm on A budget. I would love to experience a storm like this one somewhere near or in the Black Mountains? (Is Pitching a tent on the Mt.Mitchell obs deck legal?) Haha Thx for any ideas !!

Met1985 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Still snowing with an additional 2.5 inches overnight. Bringing total storm accumulations to 15 inches. Not bad for the first of December. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlatLander48 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I apparently threw out my back last night pushing a car, people need to learn how to drive, I pushed close to 15 cars yesterday lol. What an amazing event overall. Got to have a lot of fun tracking it, actually might have enjoyed tracking it more than the event itself. I'm really excited to see what the rest of winter holds. But let's thaw out first. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am jealous. Wow-for sure some of the highest elevations are going to get nailed. 3 feet at Mt. Mitchell with hurricane force winds? Hmmm. Might happen. We shall see. Looking forward to some great pics from you guys! Mt. Mitchell picked up 34". Very pleased how this event turned out. So long..till the next big storm! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long..till the next big storm!Hey Mike, quick question where did you get the info on Mitchell? Reason being is GSP did a contest on Twitter for the storm for where the most snow would fall. I predicted 33” on Mitchell. It was way above anyone else. I also threw in 45mph wind at some point during the storm for extra credit. Need to rag them a little bit if this is accurate..

The NWS Facebook page has a map showing the 34" inch total there. I noted that there was 30" snow depth recorded on the ground this morning at Mt Mitchell in the daily climate report. FYI...if you look in the comments section, you will see some comments I made on how they are depicting snowfall amounts in the Plott Balsams. Let us just say I think they can do better...they didn't like that but I feel they did carefully consider what I had to say and perhaps future maps will be more accurate because of it? (It should be noted that climate data isn't actually from the top of Mt. Mitchell but from the ranger station about 400 feet lower down the mountain. Winds are always stronger at the top and more snowfall but nobody is crazy enough to try to measure it up there! ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
