Maggie Valley Steve Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Looks like a dusting of snow fell early this morning above 4K just above the Valley. Town is absolutely packed with skiers/borders and Cataloochee made snow all night as well. If those operational models are somewhat correct, the next 7 to 10 days could be awesome! Fingers crossed! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggie Valley Steve Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Starting to get some flurries in Maggie. Cataloochee also has flurries flying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An area of light precipitation seen on radar this morning over east Tennessee will move slowly eastward over the mountains of North Carolina along the Tennessee border. Most of the precipitation will fall as light snow through noon because of the cold temperatures over the mountains. Some parts of the Smokies could get up to an inch of accumulation, particularly above 3000 feet. A dusting will also be possible across valley locations, mainly along and west of a line from Franklin to Sylva, Waynesville, and Marshall. Be careful while driving on untreated roads this morning and watch out for slick spots. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Looks like cold rain unless you are near the TN border or east TN for the storm around Jan 4th. Cold air not really entrenched east of the Apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxKnurd Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Got some light flurries here, nothing to really write home about but hey, some kind of frozen precip for the 4th time this season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckethead Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 I'm just over the border in Erwin at 1700' and it's pouring snow and 35. I haven't been home since 630 this morning, so I'm curious how things look at 4500'.Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Go a mile or two down the road and get into a legit light snow shower. Catalochee is entrenched in a snow shower it looks like. Might squeak out a dusting between now and morning if things work their way just slightly more east to my ridgeline. 27 at the house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Boone Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Snow began here in Lee County VA around 10:30. Temps running just above freezing so not sticking as it's not heavy enough to overcome the slightly above freezing T and warm ground. A dusting is at mountain around 2000 ft and up so far. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Gonna still stay wet. Wish we had more cold air around.. active STJ and southern stream but the cold air is super marginal and fleeting. Frustrating. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxKnurd Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Well regardless of any more moisture rotating through I can at least say I have another trace on the ground. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flow is more westerly than anything so you should do well with whatever moisture is around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I went to Ingles in Waynesville earlier. Driving back, the sky just kept getting darker coming up Soco Rd and rates picked up past 276. Our Guests just got back from Soco Falls. They said a good coating at the Falls and an inch or two at Soco Gap on grassy surfaces with NCDOT treating the road over to Cherokee. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, the mountains there in Iron duff that are same elevation as me had a legit dusting up top you could see from 209 and I could see good coverage up at Cataloochee on my drive towards 209 (good view of Purchase Knob and the ski area after you get away from the base of my mountain). Ready for an area wide crushing followed by some NWFS, hopefully we get that next weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Penland Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 This mornings dusting melted and has been replaced by another. So two traces makes a quarter inch, right? Lol 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
