Should take 64 west through Henderson,Transylvania and Jackson counties. You’ll see more snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Training got canceled early. In Forest City. Now have some time to kill. Maybe head back up 64 toward South Mts. Or maybe head east toward Gastonia. Higher radar returns are that way.Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once in Highlands you can play in the snow then take 64 west to Franklin. Beautiful drive, you will love it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrgjeff Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Despite all the advances in numerical weather modeling, that hybrid in-situ (local surface ridge vs huge high) CAD with dry then saturate column keeps surprising.
