Met1985 Posted January 31, 2024 Share Posted January 31, 2024 36 and rain. So far big model fail. It tries to change over during heavier rates but the radar is looking sparse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted January 31, 2024 Share Posted January 31, 2024 It's a 3K and up winter for sure. Places below that like Spruce Pine, Asheville, Black Mtn, Waynesville, etc. Have all barely got any snow all winter. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoWeatherman Posted January 31, 2024 Share Posted January 31, 2024 Just over an inch here at 4650 on Beech. 30 degrees WX Station-00-222826-222830.mp4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckethead Posted January 31, 2024 Share Posted January 31, 2024 2.5" currently. It's backed down to light snow, but there's lots of yellow returns on radar just upstream of me. Should pick up again soon.Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckethead Posted January 31, 2024 Share Posted January 31, 2024 24 with flurries this morning in Wolf. I ended up with 4.5" overnight. Gsp called for 1-3". A nice little overperformer! That's 29.5" on the season. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Penland Posted January 31, 2024 Share Posted January 31, 2024 Stuck at 32.7 all night. Barely a dusting. Grandfather will probably be gorgeous once the clouds break later today with the sticky nature of the snow though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckethead Posted January 31, 2024 Share Posted January 31, 2024 The ride to work this morning was stunning! I wasn't dumb enough to try to go down through the Yancey County side, so my 3 mile drive turned into a 20 mile drive. I'm not complaining.Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckethead Posted January 31, 2024 Share Posted January 31, 2024 I saw that Sugar Mountain posted that they're over 40" on the season now.

WNC_Fort Posted February 1, 2024 Share Posted February 1, 2024 So, what about highs in the mid to upper 50s is supposed to excite me about our February snow prospects below 3500'? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand The first half of February was always forecasted to be above average temperature wise for basically the entire eastern US. For the mountains (and SE in general) the second half of February and even in to March show promising trends on the models and is consistent with El Nino climatology. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An inch last year, with a 1/2 inch this year. But..... I feel really good about the backend of winter. Everything looks about as good as it can look. We've been plenty cold enough. We have had copious moisture. We just need both things to kindly occur at the same time. I think that happens. I'm looking forward to it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNC_Fort Posted February 4, 2024 Share Posted February 4, 2024 Pretty great weekend to get out and enjoy the outdoors. Grass is greening and my backyard has plenty of trees budding and little flowers poking out on the bushes.

ncjoaquin Posted February 5, 2024 Share Posted February 5, 2024 I can be negative. I know I can. I get it. There has been very little or none valley and low land snow But the constant negativity and warm weather trolling wears me out. Hopefully, we get some snow soon. I will be disappointed if we don't. But dang.... It will snow again one day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted February 5, 2024 Share Posted February 5, 2024 I wonder if @Rainforrest will see any flurries tonight. If this system trended north I think the higher elevations would have gotten rounded 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncjoaquin Posted February 6, 2024 Share Posted February 6, 2024 0z Euro shows some potential, just a week out as noted by GSP. It will probably change, but it shows the potential is there. A more southerly track like the new 06/00z EC suggests heavy rain Monday, transitioning to wintry precip on the back side Monday night. The GDPS is similar in track to the EC but not as cold. The GFS timing would delay peak impacts to Tuesday, but hints at a more marginal HSLC event. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
