Rainforrest Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Stayed snow through the entire event. Ended up with 3.5”. Not bad for a short lived system. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strongwxnc Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Finally got home from work. I assume it was a half an inch earlier. . 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BhamParker Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 No snow up at the cabin in Maggie valley but man we are up in the clouds. Really hopeful that the ULL will give us some love tomorrow night! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Just got home from CLT. Went north on 16. Nothing on ground until construction zone began. Then nothing in Conover either. Got home and still a good half inch here. Based on my wife's description, I think we had an inch several hours ago before the heaviest stuff ended.

There has been a lot of chatter from NWS offices around the country in the last year or so trying to make the argument that the new 5G network currently going up all over will only interfere with the weather satellite transmission and could potentially lead to missed data and less accurate forecasts. Of course the government did their best to shoot that theory down...No one knows if this has potential or not. But, what if this could possibly be the reason why this happened today, who knows? This was just a surprise snow missed by just a several hours by the NWS what if this was a potential severe weather event with a real tornado threat that the models missed this bad...Then you will be talking about some serious ramifications... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercurydime Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 While I wanted just to idly sit and watch it fall, I had a recording session (tomorrow) that I needed to set up for... It snowed here right up until around 4. Might have been a bit of rain mixed in once when I stopped to look. Still snow on the decks. Sure was a nice, purdy surprise! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckethead Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Picked up another .75" of snow today. You can tell how bad of a season it's been when I'm counting the ones under an inch lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tacoma Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Hay guys a couple of good thoughts are winter is not even half over yet plus the groundhog will see his shadow tomorrow. Instead of six more weeks of winter you might say finally six weeks of winter weather, here's hoping the rest of our winter we'll score a couple of times. We all know in this area some of our biggest snowstorms have been in March and one or two in April. We will probably be colder when spring gets here will be our luck when we're all ready for spring, so hang in there gents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BhamParker Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Wow at the view this morning with the freezing fog below us. Doesn’t even look real! Can’t imagine what a snowfall would look like from this view 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BhamParker Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I really would like to thank y’all for the suggestion yesterday on driving up to highlands. That was a beautiful drive with the national forest and all of the streams. The snow was beautiful. I really think I’ve become a permanent North Carolina mountain person. We are at Joeys pancake house right now waiting on a table and Maggie valley is a nice little town. Models are kinda all over the place for tonight but hopefully we will see some flakes. Maybe there will be enough energy for a surprise. We will definitely be back for a real big snow! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ever get the opportunity, pick a nice day and ride the Blue Ridge parkway from the southern most starting point to Watauga County. You won’t regret it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
