BooneWX Posted January 15, 2024 Author Share Posted January 15, 2024 The moisture isn’t moving at the best angle but the southern fringe over Alabama is juicy and moving due NE atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNC_Fort Posted January 15, 2024 Share Posted January 15, 2024 People thought wncsnow was just being pessimistic when, in reality, he was the one that has been the most realistic about this event (and the entire winter). A few weeks ago, he and I were posting about our concerns of the moisture not being here when the cold arrived. We got laughed off. We're in a pattern here east of the Apps where you either get warm & moisture or cold & dry. It sucks but it's where we are. I also had a chance to look on the longer ranger models. I don't see anything promising until mid-Feb at this point. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avianman Posted January 15, 2024 Share Posted January 15, 2024 Light flurries here in northern Catawba County. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted January 15, 2024 Share Posted January 15, 2024 Just made my drive from Marion to Asheville. Not even a flurry and you can clearly see the top of the black mountain range. They aren't even getting snow at 6k. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernest T Bass Posted January 15, 2024 Share Posted January 15, 2024 Getting a few, and I mean few, flakes. It's not much, but more than I've seen in 2 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvegas-wx Posted January 15, 2024 Share Posted January 15, 2024 Still plenty of flurries in Stuart VA. 1,400 ft elev. Taking on a little more width and looking like flakes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNC_Fort Posted January 15, 2024 Share Posted January 15, 2024 It's funny because I've got a good view of Craggy Gardens and the Black Mountains from my place. They've been visible all day until about 10 mins ago. Looks like a few snowfakes just started flying up there. Mt Michell webcam: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDawg Posted January 15, 2024 Share Posted January 15, 2024 Looks like I won the overnight torch-off. Went to sleep at 33 with light virga overhead, woke up to 44 and drizzle. Still rising and up above 45 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNC_Fort Posted January 15, 2024 Share Posted January 15, 2024 GFS looks a little better for this weekend... Still light precip overall but doesn't struggle to make it over the Apps as much. Not great, but I'll take anything at this point. I just can't think of many winter where ETN scored and WNC didn't.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneWX Posted January 15, 2024 Author Share Posted January 15, 2024 We need that ridge to pump out west. That’s what has screwed us for Friday at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneWX Posted January 15, 2024 Author Share Posted January 15, 2024 Moisture is absolutely overperforming to our SW and I won’t be shocked to see us get socked in this afternoon and evening. Unfortunately it’s going to be rain and or sleet at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
