I will not be surprised to see a mix of some snow and rain tomorrow evening at 3500 feet. Yeah especially around midnight things should start to really mix in. Speaking of we are already down to 38 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 No frost here on our wooded place when I left around 7ish, just dew, but looked like a light frost once I got down just a little lower in elevation and I the more open areas at the orchard and rest area on 74. Think we bottomed out around 35, I really need a weather station vs looking readings on the closest one on wundeground. Low 40’s now, would like to see some surprise mixing for my side of the Plotts and this elevation tomorrow night if possible just so I can say I’ve seen flakes fly in May with my own eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah at least get a simple thermometer for around the house that tells the daily highs and lows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 NWS calling for a low of 42 here tonight but its already 38. I'm guessing it will warm up as clouds move in but could be frost beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosted at my house this morning... 2200’ and a mile from the French Broad. My thermometer said 31. This spring we are getting 2.5 months of March and last fall we got 2.5 months of August; these transition seasons have been failing on the transition part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I was thinking of headed up to Roan Mountain/Carvers Gap overnight. Thoughts on that being worthwhile? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamouslyHot Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 FYI, I (WintersNotComing) made a new account under this name to match my account on SouthernWx (and because GoT ended so poorly), so any updates on the snow chase will now be under this account 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Penland Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 That is our plan as well. Hope to see you there.Good luck guys. I'll be hanging around grandfather since I gotta be at work by noon. Maybe head down to little lost Cove cliffs real early and try to get some shots of grandfather covered in snow above the new leaves and blooming azaleas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Buckethead and I have been trying to get a webcam up at the Country Club in Wolf Laurel. I have the whole setup, just need a commitment. Would be a moving 4-5 view 1080HD camera that operates year round. Going to send some follow up emails about that, seemed that it had really good potential at one point in time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I unfortunately didn't make it out to Carvers Gap as I am needed at work today. The radar didn't look all that impressive overnight but I am sure they got something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
