Buckethead Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 That is a STOUT nwf signal on the 12z gfs for SundayI'd really like to get the snow cover melted long enough to find my keys.

Maggie Valley Steve Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Temperature finally warmed up to the mid 50's! That gave me the chance to take down exterior Christmas lights, clean up the 2200 Sq feet of decks we have around the house pick up a bunch of downed limbs for the firepit. It is sure looking like we may get some NWFS Sunday into Monday. So a 5 day break and it's back to winter. There is still a lot of snow on the mountains above 4K. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain City, TN Johnson 4 Snow continued falling all through the night Dogtown Reporter (Minneapolis, NC) Avery 5.8 At 12:30 today we have a total of almost 6 inches. It's hard to measure with the wind and the leftover snow from the Monday and Tuesday event. It's currently snowing lightly (arctic haze) at 2:30. I will report at the end of the day or late evening, if we have more accumulation. Upper Laurel Madison 1.5 Snow flurries accumulated an additional 1.5 inches of snow overnight (measured at 8AM).

Aho-Sorrento Watauga 2 An additional 2 inches of really dry snow overnight Arborcrest Gardens/Boone Watauga 8 (8" is the storm total since the snow started Fri morning. ) Let's be honest folks. This is sorta fun (the first big one of the season always is as long as you are warm and safe inside your home with no frozen pipes or power outgages) Has now been snowing without a complete break for 24 hours. Yesterday's strong winds have created some 2-3' drifts this morning. But the winds have quieted down at least so far this morning (10-15mph range) allowing the snow to 'stick' on the Fraser firs and other evergreens here in the gardens-really pretty. Faust Madison 1.5 Dawn: fluffy dry snow fell after midnight. Not currently snowing. Looks like ideal skiing powder. Certainly a set of snowshoes would aid a woodswalk. Mountain Glen Avery 10.3 Taken 12:34 pm. Fairway # 1 Mountain Glenn GC Beech Mountain - Fred's Avery 7 Appalachian Ski Mountain area Watauga 3 As of 7:45 am this morning add another 3 inches to yesterdays 4 inches here at ASM.

Western facing slope over 3200 ft. Snow has finally stopped at 5:30 pm Westwood Elementary Ashe 2 This is Friday- Saturday morning 8:30am.

Heavenly Mountain Watauga 5 There is approximately 5 inches of total snowfall on the ground since yesterday. It is very difficult to measure due to high winds and being situated on the very top of the mountain. It appears that we only got an additional .5 inch since last night, and it has been a relatively calm day, with bouts of flurries. We are definitely not experiencing the active snowfall that downtown Boone has been today (looking at the live webcam). Dutch Creek Watauga 0 No additional accumulation today.

ncjoaquin Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Take it with a grain of NaCl, but the 6z GFS op brings a series of snow chances. These show up and disappear run to run. Hopefully, they start getting in a 5 day window. GSP not very excited by the upcoming upslope. It looks better to me than what they think, but they have forgotten more than I know. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 All snarkiness aside, I think the pattern late next week is really fascinating albeit unlikely to produce snow for most (other than a little NWFS of course). Some nice North Atlantic blocking showing up causing a stagnant flow. So strange to see a map like this... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Penland Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 18z GFS certainly wasn't bad. I have a hard time buying any long term torch given the Nino and the fact that the models blasted a January torch back in December that never really materialized beyond some short warm ups. If a February "torch" gives me another foot of snow I'll be thrilled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think this so called torch will either. Glad I live in the mountains. I don't envy those that don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 This weekend is going to be wet. Looks like another 1 to 3 inches of rainfall on top of the 1 to 3 we just got.
