This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for western North Carolina.

 

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

 

Hazardous weather is not expected at this time.

 

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday.

 

A fast moving system will bring a quick shot of snow across the high

elevations of the mountains, especially along the Tennessee border.

Generally 1-2" will be possible, but the highest elevations above

4000ft may see 2-4" with a swath of 4-6" possible across the Smokies

above 5000ft. Any high elevation roads may experience a few slick

spots.

I love how nonchalant these outlooks are when snow is only expected to impact the high country. Had a similar outlook a few weeks ago when I was up at Beech and the roads were completely covered with drifting/blowing and zero visibility. Def a few slick spots Lolol! Those conditions would absolutely shut down a major city.

I do. I just try to be optimistic about things. If you read a lot of the forums it's depressing and really just makes someone not want to post here. So I try to balance things out with a little optimism. 

I appreciate the optimism! I'm not always optimistic myself, but try to lean that way. We all know, especially the past 2 winters, that the deck is stacked against us. But I would rather see how it can work than how it won't. Nothing against WNCSnow. He's a good dude. 

But, keep up the positive Met1985!

One day you might listen to me 

I understand you keeping it real, which can be depressing considering real snow probability these days.  I was thinking about Jason Boyer forecasting a couple of snow chances to be duds that turned out otherwise some years ago.  However, he would be right 90 plus percent of the time just going with that, lol.
