SnoJoe Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I see th I see that we're heading back to the marginal temp regime again. The dreaded 33 and rain forecast. Thursday Night Rain, mainly after 11pm. Low around 33. Southeast wind 3 to 5 mph. Winds could gust as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Penland Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Went up to Greyson Highlands today and it was absolutely insane. No clue how much snow they got but it varied from 4-6" to drifts up to my waist (2-3ft+). Temp barely broke 20 and winds were HOWLING. Gusting easily to 40MPH and probably 50+ in the gaps. Difficult hiking conditions, to say the least. Absolutely beautiful though. The wild ponies didn't seem to mind. I'll upload a few more photos when I can get them down to the allowed size without blurring them so much. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 The highlands are an awesome place. Was up there mid-June one year and it barely got to 40 overnight. Had ponies running on the AT by my camp and woke up to a doe and dawn behind my tents. Great pic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sw NC weather Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Hard to say for sure but it looked like 3Km Nam was gonna be even better. Gotta love the way models have trended since yesterday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I noticed it was a strong inversion, if you were around or below 3k it was upper teens and if you were above that it was 30’s. 32-33 at the weather station closest to my house and same elevation (3300’-ish) and 18 down in Hazelwood around 2900’. Y’all reel in the weekend storm, my dogs will be happy even though I’ll miss out on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckethead Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Inversion was impressive overnight. My morning low was 18 here in town. Clouds are back and even a chance of a wintry mix overnight. The upcoming pattern is looking promising for multiple snow chances across the Mountains. Interesting to see a Warning criteria event possibility for Saturday night into Sunday. You ain't kidding. From temp has steadily risen from 19.9° at 10pm to 40.4° at 10am. 20° overnight.This Sunday sure looks interesting. I was hoping for some sunshine to melt some of this today, but it doesn't look like that's happening.

We have gas logs (that I can’t get to light) and had never planned on getting our tank filled when we moved in two years ago but Blossman did it anyway even though we told them not. So I have had a full 200 gallon tank ever since. Plan is to add a gas line to the kitchen and upgrade to a gas stove when we get a new one, love cooking on a gas stove.

BretWx Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 12Z GFS trending in the right direction. Similar to NAM, lower totals. 12Z PARA also looks about the same. Good agreement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatLander48 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 GFS looks good, one caveat is the thermal profile is warmer everywhere than the NAM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably haven't purged all of the air out of the line. I have to do that before I can get the pilot lit on my logs.

I’ve purged per directions and can hear/smell gas while trying to light it and will occasionally get a spark but it’s not consistent in doing so. Just need to bite the bullet and have them come service them as it does give us back up heat if we lose power or the heat pump stops working like the other week (dang fuse I didn’t even know existed on the handler unit popped).

If you have an air compressor try blowing the logs and ignitor off really good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always light the pilot with a match or fireplace lighter in a pinch until you get the igniter.

WxKnurd Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Thanks for the air compressor tip, I’ll try that when I get home. It’s a pain to deal with due to having to take a big glass piece off to get to the logs and thus mess with the igniter and I was so frustrated the other week because it was making me late from heading out of town for work. I started to use a lighter to light the pilot while I was in there that day but honestly messing with gas always leaves me a little nervous. Same with electricity. Guess the safety part of my engineering design class back in college is seared in my head, some of the pics from not taking proper precautions... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 The Euro has really fell from grace lately. I'm just a smidge warm for good accumulations according to Euro and UK. Gives me an inch or 2 but has me at 33 or 34 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
