WNC_Fort Posted January 15, 2024 Share Posted January 15, 2024 It's been a rough last week for me between losing a loved one and catching the flu. Otherwise, I probably would have chased up to Banner Elk and just stayed through the weekend for the Friday/Saturday event. Instead I'm settling for some warm soup while the first drizzle of the day starts. Edit: This snow drought can't last forever. One of these winters is going to blast us like 09-10 or the 60s. It just has to... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cneal1031 Posted January 15, 2024 Share Posted January 15, 2024 Decided to make a trip up to our cabin in Fleetwood, NC, we built at the top of the mountain and sit about 3500'. Working on about 2"+ at the moment. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxKnurd Posted January 15, 2024 Share Posted January 15, 2024 Down to 33, as temps come down so is the dewpoint at the same rate so wetbulb keeps creeping down to 32. Might have something going now. Plotts should be getting hit pretty good like Hires models were showing and @Maggie Valley Steve ‘s Soco report backs up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNC_Fort Posted January 15, 2024 Share Posted January 15, 2024 Looks like the higher elevations are starting to cash in a little. Alas, i'm still 41 in Asheville. At least it's raining? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had 4 plows working the gap from both sides of the counties this morning. Drove back up to the tower and the roads were crazy slick with easily a couple of inches covering Soco Rd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sw NC weather Posted January 15, 2024 Share Posted January 15, 2024 Had a rain/ snow mix at the house around 30 minutes ago. Rode up the mountain and it’s flat coming down with about 1.5” on the ground. Radar looks promising as well. Do we pull a last minute miracle out of this thing? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ja643y Posted January 15, 2024 Share Posted January 15, 2024 Just checked the camera for our place just above the BlueRidge off 226… snow finally starting come down a bit and stick on elevated parts of the deck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted January 15, 2024 Share Posted January 15, 2024 Feels like we were down big but are pulling a miracle second half comeback. I am down to 35.8, models had me at 42 right now and there is still a good bit of precip to pull through the area. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNC_Fort Posted January 15, 2024 Share Posted January 15, 2024 Hoping you're right, Hvward. But, it's funny just how different things can be across parts of Asheville. I'm at 2110' and 41.6 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted January 15, 2024 Share Posted January 15, 2024 The steady temp fall continues, down to 32.2 and still have room to fall. Wetbulb is 31.8 and continues to go down. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cold air aloft Posted January 15, 2024 Share Posted January 15, 2024 My daughters are reporting heavy snow at our place in Maggie Valley, we are right at 3,000 feet. I'm at work in Canton, still a cold rain here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Valley Steve Posted January 15, 2024 Share Posted January 15, 2024 Took another drive up Soco Rd and conditions start deteriorating right at Fie Top rd going up to Cataloochee. The plows are working from Maggie up to the gap, so it's still open for now. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
