Seemed strange but mom has a gas fireplace with a metal flue and said she could hear it quite clearly…. She could see a few pellets bouncing on the deck…Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 One thing that I've been keeping up with is that Europe has been in the dang freezer with brutal cold and blizzards galore. Moscow just got there most intense blizzard in 6 decades. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen it sleet up around 51/52 degrees before, always weird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the HRRR verbatim might have some thunder in convective bands late Monday. I really wonder what it is (or isn't) seeing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has the flow off Lake Michigan aimed toward Wva whereas other Models have it further South toward SEKY and the SW tiip of VA and on to the TN/NC Mountains.

Maggie Valley Steve Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Interesting to see the long fetch of gravity waves extending from N Georgia along the spine of the Apps into W Virginia. Trough is approaching from E TN and Kentucky down to N GA. Lots of energy and impressive dynamics ahead for this afternoon into overnight. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Wind has been howling since at least 4 am when it woke me up. Just finished my hike up to the top of the mountain, wind is ripping and Crabtree Bald has frozen trees starting around 4500’ or so, clouds above that. They are just knocking on my door step but are staying just to my north up around the Sandy Mush Bald area. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Penland Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Nice flurry/flizzard action here in Blowing Rock this morning.
