Models starting to get a handle on Monday-Tuesday. It has my interest as well for sure. Could be 24 straight hours of snow. Looks like we have a weekend of model watching ahead!

38.8 here with a dewpoint of 25.3. Hoping for a surprise but not expecting much.

Just measured and I have around 3”. Best snow in the new house by far!

Looks like around an inch so far here. It’s so wind blown it’s hard to tell. Lots of people stuck on the interstate tonight… not a good situation.

Getting lots of reports of the roads getting pretty bad. Some people saying 40 is a solid sheet of ice.

Getting back to snow finally here at my house. Can’t say this is the first fire of the season but it might be the hottest! .

Just dropped to 39 here in Black Mountain.

Should be a fun on folks. 12z Nam 3km has my location getting 3” or so inches of snow and the higher parts of the neighborhood getting 5”-6” per the WeatherFront App. I have never been able to zoom in so close on a snowfall map so we will see how accurate that is. Anyways looking forward to our first chance of the year!

Beautiful shot! I am thinking someone is going to get hammered, but looking at winds it will be a bit more westerly flow. Usually someone gets popped who isn't expecting it. Hopefully it's my backyard! Good luck.

Beautiful sunrise this morning in Black Mountain.

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.

Snow breaking out at my new location just south of the Reservoir at 2900' in Black Mountain. Our first snow in the new house. Doesn't matter how much we get, just amazing to see flakes falling here while I sit in the living room by the wood fire. Hope we get a surprise here!

Already about a half inch here in Alexander. This better change over soon or the NAM 3km is going to bust bad.

Temps are razor thin on the NAM 3km. IMO going to take more than 500-750ft in the atmosphere of temps above freezing to full melt, especially with how cold the surface is. Thinking the NAM may have qpf close, but thinking temps might be causing the model to believe its sleet, but in reality it will fall as heavy snow with big flakes that stick together. Just my opinion, hope everyone is doing well!

Checking in everyone. All my family is fine. Our new house we are building in Laurel Ridge up near the North Fork Reservoir in Black Mountain faired well, but the road is absolutely destroyed to the neighborhood. The photo shows the bridge that the Swannanoa River used to go under, and now the new path is has made. It took out about 100ft of road and that road had the main waterline to Asheville right beside it. So in short, we were supposed to move in two months, but now that looks to be delayed til the first of the year. There is also a 200ft wide mudslide on the road right above us that I am facilitating a crew to tackle. All in all we faired extremely well and feel so blessed. Lots of clean-up to be done as all of you know, but it has been so amazing to see this community come together. We had a few folks in Laurel Ridge trapped by the mudslide but the Cajun Navy along with The Mule Team were both able to provide support and everyone has been reached! There is a light at the end of this tunnel and it's very bright for this amazing community.
