chris21 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Closing on a house up Roaring Creek Rd. at about 3900 feet. Was wondering if anyone could relate some info about the snowfall climatology. I figure it’s a pretty snowy location but hard to find details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 4 miles from the Tennessee border. Very close to Roan as the crow flies. Under ten miles for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris21 Posted August 10 Author Share Posted August 10 Better description would be within 5 miles of the Mitchell-Avery-Tennessee border. 3900 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nchighcountrywx Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 I head up Roaring Creek road a lot to access the AT and to cross country ski on some of the preservation land areas. As being in the shadow of Roan the area you are referring to gets mostly dust ups from down wind of Roan upslope events. The area usually does best on snow when the moisture and flow is from the easterly direction There is a properly sighted Tempest station at the top of Atria Lane at the link below: https://tempestwx.com/station/150620/grid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My neighbor who has lived there his entire life said that in upslope events (my house is actually near Atria) we get far more snow than 3-4 miles down the road by 19e. In fact, he said it’s not uncommon to have 6-12 inches at our location and a dusting at 19e. Said he measured a 48 inch drift last winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nchighcountrywx Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 That’s super. There is great cross country skiing up the road from Atria Lane. I know Jim and he’s a fine fellow. The home at the top is a sight to behold. If he still has it on the market you may can view the listing Let me know how Roaring Creek made out in the flood. There is also a RAWS weather station in a meadow up gravel road from Atria 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
