phil882 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 It is unreal how hard it is snowing and how big the flakes are. Yea the flakes were huge earlier... i'm getting smaller flakes currently but there are a ton in this band so its creating some rather low visibilities. Looks like the band decided to go stationary over Buncombe county, so there might be some more accumulation from this event yet. Will go out and measure in a bit.

ncjoaquin Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Wow. I herd meteorologists on tv(WSOCTV?) say accumulations can reach 20 inches O.o .. And this is just the precursor to a bigger storm. By next Friday, Mt. Mitchell could have 4+ feet on the ground.(just a guess on my part, but reasonable I think) Still coming down good here.

Looking at the radar it looks like you have a decent train of moisture over Asheville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have about 2 and a 1/4 so far, still snowing, big flakes. I might get 3 inches out of this. So, that's about an 1 and a 1/4 in less than 2 hours. So, a little over a 1/2 inch per hour. But, I have lulls and heavy bursts, wash, rinse, repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 4 inches here now. Would have been about an inch more had the temp not went above freezing for several hours during the day today. Quite a bit of melting occurred. A moderate band moving thru now. Looks to be some more upstream, so may wind up with a couple more inches before said and done. Once again, more than any model predicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 So, as of now, you've had 62" of snow this year. Incredible. How much do you usually get? Average is about 80" but last year 113". But my obs are not typical. I live at over 4k on a northwest facing slope, 6 miles from the TN boarder, on a piece of property that my Granddaddy bought back in the 1940's. A mile from here might have a 25" yearly average. Anywho, my bedtime measurement is at 9 inches with light snow. Everybody relax, next week is gonna be epic. Enjoy the ride!!!!

tnweathernut Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Got zip from the clipper when they were predicting 3-5, but woke up to bands which were extremely heavy and have about 2 this morning. was a complete surprise, a very pleasant one of course.
