    I drove up to Laurel Park on my lunch break, it’s definitely a different scene than downtown.

    I remember freezing my butt off turkey hunting in April, but deer hunting in a short sleeve shirt on Christmas.

    About 60 and sunny here at my office in Hendersonville. Got me itching for Spring. I feel like this winter has been cold with relatively measurable snow every week. I have had my fun and now I am over it! (unpopular opinion)

    Not that I put a whole helluva lot of stock in it, but the TWC future radar has it filling in around 3am. I’m not sure which model they use to determine such BUT it did perform well as this storm progressed, I noticed. So I do think there is a great chance we add more in the coming hours.

    Starting to rip fatties and stick now. It’s coming guys.

    Can't blame them after how bad they got burned on that 09Jan - 10Jan storm.

    I aint even mad. This has been a decent winter but I'm ready for a thaw. My bones hurt.
  8. BlueRidgeFolklore
    Just drive through Mills River, snow coming down good.
  9. BlueRidgeFolklore
    Snow
  10. BlueRidgeFolklore
    Pouring here.
  11. BlueRidgeFolklore
    No it usually doesn’t as there aren’t many high enough peaks around HVL to cause such.
  12. BlueRidgeFolklore
    Keep in mind there could be differences in what constitutes a WSW vs a WWA between the forecast offices. GA only requires something like 2" of snow in 12 hours for a WSW (maybe a little more, can't remember). I've had plenty of WWA events up here that would have been warnings back home in GA. That could be it, but I thought the GSP had a uniform criteria for their area. Thanks for reminding me.
  13. BlueRidgeFolklore
    I have a feeling it will change. Honestly, this makes no sense with regard to warnings in N. Ga, yet watches literally right across the border in N.C. at HIGHER ELEVATIONS! Make it make sense?

    Jason basically taking the NWS stance. Lol. https://www.facebook.com/jasonboyerweather/posts/249873693170758

    Former WLOS met:

    That tells me they’re skeptical of the details right now but that they need to get it posted. “Dusting to half a foot for 1/3rd of NC. Outside of that we’re really not sure.” Lol.
  17. BlueRidgeFolklore
    Couldn’t save AVL though. Lol. being sandwiched between the Black and Balsam mountains makes it a desert, comparatively speaking.
  18. BlueRidgeFolklore
    I was actually shocked to see it....
  19. BlueRidgeFolklore
    I can be in Balsam Grove in roughly 30min, Little Canada is further. I expect that area to do really good....
  20. BlueRidgeFolklore
    Looking at the Kuchera ratio is more realistic and personally, I feel is still too high, but I think the areas shown are the favored areas. Red circle is the highest elevation along the southern escarpment and will wring out plenty of moisture. Green circles on the map are the French Broad River Valley and the Pigeon River Gorge. Asheville is notorious for being a victim of downsloping in this setup. It's the same reason why it tends to be the driest area in NC and Transylvania county the wettest. Those Balsam Mountains are just a bear to overcome.
  21. BlueRidgeFolklore
    No I am not, that is all public land up 276 from my side of the Parkway. I haven't seen anything in the models to indicate that moisture or temp will be an issue in Transylvania. Obviously being higher helps. My expectations are not on the totals the models are spitting out but I do fully expect accumulating snow as the signal on the models is too strong to expect otherwise. The 64 corridor from Highlands to Hendersonville has consistently been shown as a good spot for this storm.
  22. BlueRidgeFolklore
    Not if this becomes a predominantly upslope/downslope compounded event. Not much different than we see with NWF and snow holes on the leeward side of the of the TN/NC line. I expect the southern escarpment and the higher peaks to wring out the most moisture, and for there to be some lower totals within. I think some of the blue in Haywood County is due to downsloping from the Balsams from a storm of this setup. We shall see but I don't see anything inherently glaring from the 3k map that says we should toss. I am not expecting a foot of snow in those favored areas, but I do think they are favored areas.
  23. BlueRidgeFolklore
    While I agree, there has been a consistent storm signal for WNC. Amounts vary, but accumulating snow has been shown, run after run.......
  24. BlueRidgeFolklore
    3k NAM says someone better rent one of those yurts in DuPont....
  25. BlueRidgeFolklore
    Not a widespread even but could put up some locally high numbers along the southern mountains. I think areas like Balsam Gove could see upwards of 6".
