wncsnow Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 This is a top 3 worst winter of all time for me here. It may surpass 2012 with more cold rain events. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t have pictured cold air being completely non-existent on this entire side of the continent in the middle of Feb. Yeah it's just sad at this point. If we don't get anything by March 7th then it's over. Time is going fast and with Feb being a leap month this year even faster. So I say we have 22 days give or take a few to make something happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Yeah as much rain as we saw we could have easily saw a foot plus. A few things that I learned is that apparently the models don't know shit 2 days out especially with a synoptic storm. GSP did GSP things and were right. Good on them. So far this winter is a D for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cataloochee in particular could not have survived without the additional snow making equipment purchased last summer. Even Tube World has not closed but a day or two all winter so far. On to next weekend when we have our next shot of at least NWFS. Yep timely cold shots is the saving grace for the resorts along with upgraded equipment at places like Sugar, Beech and Cat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 The low ended up tracking too far north and west (shocking) amd almost every model was too cold Even last night's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNC_Fort Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 I very nearly came up to Boone for the weekend just to say I saw some flakes for the winter but honestly am I glad I didn't. Would have felt like a bit of a disappointment. Excited to move back up the mountains with y'all later this year. Hoping we turn our luck around. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacoma Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Yes very big dissapointment. Even Asheville went from a possible 6-11 inches to not one snow flake. I would have been happy with seeing some flakes at the least, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great in winter, but the heat and humidity gets old fast. Offshore flow feels like a furnace in July.Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I should be down that way soon. Getting spring fever in Feb is tough in mountains. We know how it typically shakes out. Teleconnections finally go cold sometime in March followed by a series of east coast troughs with chilly 20 to 40 mph winds blowing regularly into May. Buckethead will be posting photos of snow he is getting in May. That said it is all worth it to not have that Charleston type summer heat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Can't beat the cool mountain breezes but I will say its getting more and more humid here. Looks like cold air will be hanging out in Canada and the Midwest towards the end of the month while we scorch under the death ridge. Maybe it will finally head this way in early March who knows. Winter could be over though (did it ever really arrive?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it almost never gets above 80 here in the summer.Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk I'm not a big global warming alarmist but something has changed. It was 62 this morning on Old Fort mountain at 8 a.m. on February 16... That's basically the equivalent of it being 10 below zero on the inverse but it's easier to remember the freak cold than warm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
