Yep, breaking 40 was a struggle here too. Fog eventually creeped down from up top. Mid 50’s out towards Mills River around 11 and right at 40 at home when I got back at noon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueRidgeFolklore Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Heaviest frost of the year this morning down in Henderson County. Looked like a good dusting of snow when I first got up. I haven't seen frost lay this heavy on paved surfaces in a while. The roads were soaked from the melt off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Same in Haywood, heavy frost that I thought “did we get a dusting overnight?” At first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckethead Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I have a 1300' drop in elevation in 3 miles from my home to work and every bit of it was covered in solid ice. I did a 360° 3 times coming down but I made it in one piece.Y'all be careful this morning. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 Things do look up starting in about a week but lets get there first. This group is not about pipe dreams and unicorns. The pattern looks to really become active in about a week. We will go from there. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes sir, that's one thing I have always loved about the mountain thread over the years. No overhyping storms, no meltdowns, level heads just taking it for what it is. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great conversation, level headedness, and some great mountain discussion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Penland Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Not the fanciest station on the block but finally got one set up here at the house. Ambient Weather Osprey station. Budget friendly with good reviews. We'll see how it goes. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sw NC weather Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I agree we’re just gonna have to wait and see for a little while. The first legit chance I think we will have January 7-8. This has been trending better over the last few runs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larger groups always attract weenies, trolls, and idiots. 2) Lower stakes. We all typically see snow at least once every year, so each event doesn't feel like our only chance. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got my tempest set up last week and I’m not sure what I’ve been doing this whole time without a dedicated backyard station. Just really hoping we get a good winter storm soon so I can be glued to the DP and wet bulb readings for hours on end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
