2024-2025 Fall/Winter Mountain Thread

[WxKnurd]

Bit of a glaze at my house, porch and stairs slick as snot. Hopefully no issues today while I work between Morganton and Lenior

[WNC_Fort]

A couple trees had some light glazing as I was going up Old Fort mountian but in general temps ranged from 40 at the bottom of the mountain to 34 at the top. Nothing significant.

28 and sleet/zr here. We had about a half inch of snow with a hard crust on top.

[Rainforrest]

32 light freezing drizzle 

[Tyler Penland]

27 with light to moderate ZR in Blowing Rock. Roads and sidewalks are fine somehow, at least so far.

[WarmNoseHater]

half an inch of snow with some crust in Todd at 3700'

I swear I saw some snowing driving back up my mountain from AVL. AVL was sitting at 38 at the office, I am at 32 here but just rain now. 

[Met1985]

Yeah thought I heard some sleet mixing in with the rain in Asheville today. 

[BretWx]

Down to 31/30 here.

Nothing but white covering everything here with a mix of all frozen.  29 on the thermometer.  Under an ice warning, so we will see what happens up here.  

[Maggie Valley Steve]

33 and rain at the house.

29 and moderate freezing rain. Ice is accumulating quickly. I am in a high sheltered valley on the east side of Roan highlands surrounded by 5500 plus foot peaks so cold air gets trapped in these situations.

My thermometer hasn't budged off of 33 all day either when high temperatures were forecasted to be in the mid 40's. Too bad it hasn't been colder in the upper levels.

[Tyler Penland]

Bumped up to 28 here in Blowing Rock. Ice now noticeable on the trees, especially higher up.

[WeatherHawk]

28 here in the Todd area...HWY 194 from Baldwin (West Jefferson) to Todd is in poor condition.  Fleetwood area roads were also in poor condition with lots of patchy ice on the roads.  

Accretion is very noticeable on the vegetation...IMO we're quickly approaching the line between 'no-problem' and 'problem'.  Be safe everyone.

We've really dodged a bullet today here in the Valley. It's been fluctuating between light to moderate rain the past couple of hours and still stuck at 33. The ground is really saturated now. Fingers and toes crossed that flooding issues do not become a reality.

[Met1985]

We are hovering right around 32/33. A shock to the system.  Nearly a 40 degree drop in a few days.

[chris21]

31 here with about a quarter inch of ice so far at least. Ice is continuing to accumulate on everything.

We really dodged a bullet here, looks like a 1/10”- 1/8” of ice on the trees.

Yeah no kidding! This could have been really really bad.
