Met1985 Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 You can see moisture starting to bank up against the mountains now. A good sign for later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Yea your buddy and I are basically the same elevation I bet, he’s just barely on the Jackson side south side of 74 and I’m barely on the Haywood side on the north side of 74. Seems like when it’s heavier precip it’s all sleet and lighter stuff is basically a misty sprinkle with a few sleet pellets. Mid to upper 30’s up here when I got back from down in Hazelwood.

Local Yokel Wx Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 CAA has yet to scour out the warmer temps in the deeper valleys as of midday. We don't expect anything to stick here of course but I find these NW flow/CAA/CAD events fascinating to play out on temp readings across SW NC Mt Lyn Lowery (6037') - 25°F Cat (5400') - 29°F Balsam (3310') - 34°F Waynesville (2755') - 37°F Sylva (2036') - 42°F Bryson City (1752') - 42°F 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 The snow should be set in the rest of the day now. Temp right at 32. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Either light graupel or tiny flakes falling here, we’ll see if we can get some better stuff bet over Lynn Lowry and down to Balsam Gap. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckethead Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Probably about time to head home for me. This is at 3100'. I have a 1300' climb to make in about 3 miles. Fun stuff. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temp 30F Trace of sleet and graupel here. Headed to grab dinner and the top of Grassy Bald across 74 from me is white, Plott Balsam is white down to probably 4000’. Angle orientation wasn’t and isn’t right at this moment, just based on last year and this year I can tell the angle that Waynesville proper gets snow during a flow event is different than the angle I need to see decent flakes. We seem to at least see something fall but being below 4000’ things have to be just right to get more than a dusting. Peaks of sun at home but solid low cloud deck in downtown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckethead Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Currently 19° with over 3" now and still coming. There's a nice layer of ice too. I Charlie Browned when I walked out in the yard. Guess it's time to put the flip flops away for the winter. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk 4 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
