Buckethead Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I have no clue how much snow fell here today. That wind this afternoon blew everything all around. I had a hair under 2.5" at 7am and I came home to less than 2" on the board. And it's been snowing all day with a high of 24°. That's 44.5" on the season. Oh, and I literally just had two people cross country skiing through my yard. I didn't even think of trying that!

FlatLander48 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Of course I don't take anything TWC says for granted, but only 2 days are above 40 on the 10 day outlook. It's something much more to a "normal" winter finally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlatLander48 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 On and off flurries in Boone for most of the day. Has gotten colder (roughly 39 to about 34) than it was at 8 this morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Nam & Nam 3km are both showing some higher elevation snow showers across SW WNC Friday afternoon/evening. Might have a tongue of overrunning precipitation that the models are struggling to pick up on enter the area sometime on Friday. Something to watch, especially if you live above 3500'. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckethead Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Check here to see if the gate is open before you go. I'd hate for you to drive all that way to have to turn around. https://twitter.com/SmokiesRoadsNPS?s=09Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Penland Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Interested to see how the system next Wed/Thu plays out. Both GFS and Euro have a threat for ZR/SN for primarily the northern mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jburns Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 1 hour ago, wncsnow said: I wouldn't mind Lasik, any recommendations ? Nope sorry. Lol. Being an old fart I developed cataracts a few years ago. I had surgery to replace my lenses. It was the best thing I ever did. Actual surgery takes 8 minutes per eye. They do them a week apart. I never even felt any discomfort. After over 50 years of wearing glasses I suddenly had 20/20 in both eyes. I couldn’t believe how good the world looked. I have good insurance but the actual cost of the surgeries was quite a bit less than the cost of fifty years of eye exams and glasses. Had I known, I would have had it done years earlier. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckethead Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 It's downright treacherous up here off the pavement in Wolf. Every bit of road that's in the shade has turned to solid ice and ditch driving has become a necessity in places. It beats going over the other side.

strongwxnc Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Yep and quite the opposite out here. No doubt! In the foothills ( southern) it’s been a dud so far. Other than the trace a few weeks.The weather’s been nice and winterish but not a lot other than that.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like rain is ahead tonight into tomorrow night and the a chance of at least a potential for Advisory level snow showers Wednesday night into Thursday. Yeah we actually have a lot of snow up in elevation across the county. Been a long time since we have had this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Went hiking up to Rich Mountain Fire Tower yesterday on AT outside Hot Springs in Madison County. Snow on ground in spots from about 3200 feet and up. At top (3600 ft), up to four inches of snow still on the ground on the north slope of the mountain. The trail was actually quite icy at the summit.The views from the fire tower were amazing yesterday. No wind, clear blue sky, 360-degree views, snow visible on all the higher peaks in every direction. I love winter hiking.Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
