Anyone else expiremented with one yet? https://smartweather.weatherflow.com/share/5094/grid Ordered one today. I've blown 300 on lots of other stuff so I figured............why not? Like, you I am interested in how it functions. Personally, I bought because of the size. I have a Davis Vantage Pro 2 (like new) with all the bells and whistles, along with the software just sitting in a box. Been there since June of 2016 when we moved to a place that has an HOA that would frown on me setting it up. Hoping the lower profile on this unit will work and also hoping the accuracy isn't like the FV3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hvward Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Hmmm.. 18z GFS picking up on some overrunning precip? Every models except for the Euro has shown these blips of precip popping into WNC on Tuesday. It is noteworthy, and shouldn’t be ignored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Drove back from Maggie Valley on the Parkway this morning, pulled in at Waterrock Knob and was treated to strong winds forcing moisture up the the southern side of the mountain and creating a cloud right before our eyes. That was an awesome scene seeing a weather principle at work in person. Might have to make a drive up there in the morning before I head to Wilkesboro for work to see if winter is able to make a return at 5000’+ feet overnight. Hoping to get lucky and see a few wet flakes down the mountain if the forecast still holds for tonight, if not maybe I’ll luck out and catch a few Tuesday in Wilkes.

Sw NC weather Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Getting some much needed heavy rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoWeatherman Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 High elevation peeps....I would expect snow showers and flurries to commence towards midnight tonight lasting into the first half of Monday. Then again Tuesday night towards midnight lasting into mid morning Wednesday. Nothing major but isolated dusting to 1/2 inch stuff with perhaps more in the highest elevations along the northern TN/NC line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 About a half inch here with 19.5 degrees and a wicked wind. Wonder if this will be the last time we see snow this year. I'm about half of my yearly average snowfall. This winter has been pretty dismal, to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 The thing is that the NAO has primarily been positive since November. We are going on 3 plus months of no real good blocking in the AO and NAO regions. With this the near term holds no blocking either. It will be interesting to see if this type pattern holds through spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Light snow pretty much all day. It didn't really amount to anything but it was nice to have a winter day. Had a daytime high of 22.5, back down to 16.7 now. Looks like a chilly few days before it warms up this weekend and rains. What a winter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hope you all are doing well. I have moved again, this time to southern Maryland, maybe the snow gods will be easier on me up here! The storm in December was nice but it has been a miserable wet, cool, rainy winter since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoWeatherman Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I would expect more flurry and snow shower action tonight. 850s crash tonight and 850mb RH goes to 95%+. Probably similar timing as last time with near midnight start but ending quicker Wednesday morning. More of a novelty than anything else. Maybe someone will get lucky and get another 1/2 inch. Single digits will be common above 3500 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will see some pretty good snow shower/flurries tonight. I think you are in a good spot to see some wintery weather Thursday night but it wont last long.
