Tyler Penland Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I have been wondering about that. honestly, there has been almost no wind here so far. a few gusts but I haven't noticed any wind the last couple of hours however we have had a ton of rain - all the streams are out of their banks and standing water at a lot of intersections. rain has really lightened up the last 30 min or soThe models really keyed in on a wind minimum southeast of the ridgeline. Especially the 3km NAM. Blairsville had a max gust of 48mph this morning on the other side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk Yeah, I have a colleague whose husband works in the sheriff's department here. Supposedly it went through a mobile home park. One confirmed death and multiple people trapped in their residences, according to her. How do tornadoes seem to always find mobile home parks? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 The orientation of the snow coming in is a bit different. It's coming in from the SW. which will actually give the southern mountains a chance at seeing some decent snow. Haywood virtually gets shadowed because of the Balsams. You can see it on all the models. Interesting for sure but I hope most enjoy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggie Valley Steve Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 These strong storm systems are carving out a path for huge chunk of the coldest air since a year ago December to enter our Region. There is a one two punch arriving Monday and next Tuesday. That storm on Monday hasn't resolved in model world and this batch of cold has staying power in my opinion. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Closed with 4.26 inches IMBY. Hit the “over”! @wncsnow, how did we all do with our bets? I think @strongwxnc may be the only “under” that hit, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Penland Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I have no clue what we ended up with here thanks to the frozen rain gauge. Froze all the way into the box somehow had to take it apart to get the ice out.How do you guys avoid that? I've got an Ambient station for reference.
