Buckethead Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 April?, as I recall you were still getting snow in May! Was I? It must've been a minor one, the last thing I counted was 2.75" on 4/1. Last winter went on forever, and now it's all a blur. Nowdays if I don't write something down it's forgotten in 10 minutes lol.

FlatLander48 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Not getting the warmth you guys are getting. Roughly mid 40’s all day in Boone so not as exciting. I threw all my chips in on the upcoming pattern for the next week or so. If it doesn’t happen I’m out and ready to get a tan, even my boss says I’m scary pale.

Met1985 Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share Posted February 10, 2021 Truthfully im not sure if we see any arctic air. Several years ago I saw were a strong cold front got hung up right at us for days. Places all through Tennessee and even Alabama got impulses of winter weather day after day while we rotted at 40 and rain. I have a feeling that may be the case here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious to see if being on the apex of the spine of the Apps works out in our favor. Either way, next week sure looks active. 40°and rain isn't all bad. I just hope it's not ice. And btw, it's a little muddy up here today. We're at 52°. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Als23 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Haven't paid much attention past few days since i realized the cold wasn't getting over the mountains. I'm in Maggie and don't recall any major ice events in 30yrs it's rain or snow here with sleet at times. Haven't measured but probably 12+ so far this winter and still 2+ months left for possible winter wx. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I mean im not saying we dont get winter weather but im not holding my breath on the arctic air getting here. Also Haywood does not do well in CAD situations. As you said its either rain or snow. But I am very happy with this winter so far and yes we have a couple more months to add onto our totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can happen. I remember mid 80s walking on rafters trying to get a house dried in. Freezing rain for few hrs then the trees started falling. It was like incoming fire. We were like 4.5k ft so probably weakened trees from acid rain. There was no wind just frozen precip. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Something tells me we're going to have a wet, cold, windy, miserable April. I hate that worst of all. Tried to take a little hike on some trails around the house today and it was horrible. I sank half way up my boots in mud a lot of places. This is the time of year that if it's not going to snow then I wish it would dry out for awhile. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate that worst of all... I am with you on that; nothing I dislike more than winter in April and beyond... As I have said before I still have PTSD from getting denied a spring last year; I did go back and look at the "spring" summer thread 2020 and saw folks report seeing flakes flying on May 9 . I have a less than stellar memory but it seems over the past 10 years or so the teleconnections more often that not set up for cold trough in the east and ridge out west normally in early March (as I recall late March or beginning of April of last year). We have had some pretty warm periods in February. Not that this has anything to do with the future but having a cold February this year maybe we get a spring pattern in March or April. I dream this year of sitting out on the deck on a warm April evening hearing the birds and perhaps some spring peepers but still fear the cold winter wind sending me inside for shelter. Cheers to hoping for a warm spring 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1ga Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Hey y'all Blacksburg, VA checking in here. Hope this is the right thread. We've got a hodge podge forecast like everyone else. 34 and light-moderate rain - temp dropped 5 degrees in the last 2 hrs. so that might mean something. And FCX radar is down, which adds to the excitement. Cheers! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Penland Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Thick glaze on everything in the parking lot here in Boone. Little over 1/10 I would guess. Car says 28 with occasional light rain/drizzle/fog 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckethead Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I have never seen this neighborhood so muddy and it's only going to get worse. There's places that your tires bog down almost a foot. We need to dry out or refreeze. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
