calculus1 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Your pictures are beautiful, Buckethead. I totally need to look in to moving to your neighborhood in several years.

Tyler Penland Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Left Boone with nothing on the ground and got home to a good coating here in Foscoe. Coming down hard around Salvation Army and roads slicking up. Nice surprise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sw NC weather Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 CMC and GFS both show a couple inches for Christmas Eve/ Christmas Day both wanna run another low out of the gulf up the front. If that verifies and we time it up it could be a great Christmas morning. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 3 Chances for snow coming up in the High Country over the next week. Sunday morning could be very interesting for many with the RGEM showing light icing being possible along the Escarpment, and snowfall above 3500'. Warm nose will be weak with this meager front. Then Monday night into Tuesday another wave will move through before the polar front passes by on Christmas. Lots to track here for sure! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Local Yokel Wx Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Any other Friday with snow its a big deal but throw Christmas Day into the mix and its already getting amped up on social media. We're telling our followers to hang tight, check back in on Monday. 47 minutes ago, Hvward said: 3 Chances for snow coming up in the High Country over the next week.

Local Yokel Wx Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Snuck out a trace of snow last night here in Waynesville on car tops, tips of grass, and roof lines. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Local Yokel Wx Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Is there any talk of an upgrade for the new radar? My biggest complaint is the upload speed and I wonder if its tied to server space or the migration to the new radar 9 hours ago, wncsnow said: It's God awful.

That would be some intense snow rates with a lot of wind, with the low coming up thru the Piedmont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sw NC weather Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 12z GFS, After the nw flow snow theres about 6-12 inches for most of WNC. If we hold this look till Monday I’m gonna start getting really excited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Wife said it snowed a little yesterday at the house, more in town though. Keeping an eye on next week from afar, I’ll get back from TX Sunday night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I have never seen Anafrontal snow here like that. The mountains are in a good spot though and will cash in on Nwfs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mountains are in a good spot though and will cash in on Nwfs I know it’ll change quite a bit before go time but the way the GFS advertises there a secondary low that rides up that a lot of the moisture back towards us.

Hvward Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Both 18z Nam 12km & 18z Nam 3km show precipitation falling as snow early Sunday morning. This one could be sneaky. Lets see if the column of air is actually that cold and continues to show up over the next few runs, but something to watch. Nam 3km had an inch of accumulation at KAVL. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
