Met1985 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Snow has definitely picked up the past 30 minutes. It's a grainy snow but accumulating nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are getting hammered now with heavy snowfall. It might help im in a bowl also with this NW flow. Might pick up another inch if this continues. Yea I figured last night the ridge from Chambers Mtn over to the Glades was probably getting it good based on how it was snowing between Lake Junaluska and Crabtre and then it was hardly snowing here. Friends on Chambers have over 6”. Good first event of the year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 The way the long range keeps moving to warm, this could be the areas biggest snow of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckethead Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Morning yall...so I don't know how accurate my measurement is [mention=347]MotoWeatherman[/mention] . The wind really picked up overnight and there was a 22" deep drift on my measuring board so I measured about a dozen other spots and the depth varied from just under this to 24" deep. So call it 14" if ya want, I'm not going back outside right now. It's and moderate snow is still falling.

Sw NC weather Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Measured a few different spots and ranged from 4.5” - 5”. Not bad at all considering no forecast was more than 2” here. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Penland Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 About 2" south of Boone.Looked at webcams this morning and you could still see some grass in town. Definitely a southern mountain special. Congrats guys! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very well may be, but we still have around 3 months of possible winter here in the mnts. Just be patient I’d still bet on a board wide hit before the end of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckethead Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 So I just checked around me. Heading towards the border, I measure 18" about 400' further up the mountain. Going the other way to the country club (about the same elevation as me but a mile further from the border and more exposed to the wind) I measured 12 or so. There's one helluva gradient in a very short distance...I'm really curious about what's up on the top of the mountain, but the road is nearly impassable at the moment.Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxKnurd Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 6” is what I’m going with after some more measurements in some protected places, some good drifts. Light snow off and on currently. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Penland Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Just got back from a quick walk on the Parkway up to Rough Ridge on Grandfather. Very little snow on that side, maybe an inch at most. Several sections were mostly bare ground.The wind was absolutely insane, however. First time I've ever been sitting on a rock outcrop and been scooted sideways along the ground in a gust. Easily 60-70MPH up there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Penland Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Blew the forecast low of 20 out of the water last night and made it to 14.7. A little snow cover and calm winds goes a long ways. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Yeah with a solid snowpack in place, calm winds and the perfect setup for radiational cooling we dipped all the way to 8 degrees this morning. A solid cold morning. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
