I ran into several spots with black ice... They had a delay here and then about a hour ago called a remote day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surprised at that too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HRRR is a bit concerning. These things can fall apart quickly. Could be an entirely different story this evening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a couple of inches fell overnight above 4500 ft. Cat is reporting 2" overnight into this morning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sw NC weather Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Good model runs overnight. I’m a little afraid it might be a little to amped for down here to stay all snow might have some sleet issues but almost all models show 6 inches of snow acculturation so I’m fine with a little sleet. Don’t fear the long range Hrrr either it’ll start caving at 18z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 3” and I’ll be satisfied lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Don’t worry, I’m not there so 6” is a lock for us SW Mtn folks lol. 4” is our best total in the two years I’ve been in Balsam Gap. Hoping next weekend holds and I can experience a big storm. Looking like 2-4” up here where I am working near Bluefield. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local Yokel Wx Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 As with most events we talk a lot about populated areas (because its where we live) but who wants to throw down where you think the highest totals will be (factor in backend NW flow snow)? I'm liking the southern end of the Great Balsams but also could see Mt LeConte push past everyone with their last minute light accumulations Sunday morning. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gonna be biased and go with Lynn Lowry; better spot for the main event than LeConte and then can still get some flow snow on the backside better than the peaks from Richland Balsam over to Mt Pisgah which I think will jackpot from the main event. I like the area around my house for a jackpot for a “populated area”. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
