Maggie Valley Steve Posted Wednesday at 01:43 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:43 PM Not local, but Austin TX has light snow at this time. Totally not expected there. It gives us an idea of the magnitude of the airmass with the PV lobe dropping down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hvward Posted Wednesday at 01:54 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:54 PM A little clearing in between bands here at the house in Black Mountain. We have around .75” or so. Really interesting to see this deformation band setup. I still think it’s going to be the main show. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BretWx Posted Wednesday at 02:48 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:48 PM That last deform band on the 12z HRRR really wants to juice up as it heads over the mountains. Just a little more east than I would like to get 1 last little thump down here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BretWx Posted Wednesday at 04:05 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:05 PM If the ground were colder, I'd have over an inch by now no doubt. It's struggling to stick but I love a nice day time snowfall! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoAPPS Posted Wednesday at 04:17 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:17 PM Could the upper level snow be undermodeled based on how cold the air will be? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that may be a possibility. As crazy as it sounds, there are currently 'lake effect snow' across Texas streaming off the Lakes of Central and East Texas currently. While that is not related to the Upper-level snow we may get, it does offer a clue to just how potent this very cold airmass truly is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggie Valley Steve Posted Wednesday at 08:04 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 08:04 PM I lost most of the snow from this morning, but I noticed the radar is beginning to blossom along and near the Tennessee side of the mountains. GSP is now saying snow returns tonight into tomorrow with 2 to 4 inches possible with higher totals. They are now saying we could snow into Friday morning. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris21 Posted Wednesday at 08:12 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 08:12 PM 2.5 inches here after compaction. Made it up to 32 today but kept the cloud cover and light snow so no melting to speak of. Let’s see what the ULL can do! Hasn’t stopped snowing since 5 AM and the upper Roan Highlands have been socked in all day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was wondering if I’d come home to any on the ground later. The other day my 1/4” was gone outside of one spot by the time I got home. I need a way to keep track of events better, especially when I’m not home for most of them, would like to know my total for the year is currently. I’m guessing 12-15” after today’s accumulation, I basically go with @Met1985’s numbers and am usually close. He’s got a couple inches on me this year from the January storm, so basically whatever he has minus 2-3” is what I’m going with as of now, the smaller events tend to even out as it’s so dependent on which ridgeline you are on and elevation in our area of Haywood that one event he’ll have a little more and another I’ll have a little more. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears everything above 4500ft is covered. Your report makes sense with what I saw. I did notice cumulus building near the border. Hopefully that bodes well for us as the sun goes down. Temperature here is 37. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted Wednesday at 08:45 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 08:45 PM Yeah this next round coming through will lay better in my opinion..the two week warm spell warmed up the ground a bit but starting tonight temps plummet. Tomorrow's high for many will only reach around 20 degrees while some may not get out of the single digits and the lows for tomorrow night probably around 0 to 5 degrees if not colder. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
