    true and agreed. I should have mentioned SW NC as our area.

    Several friends are running up 215 to hike and ride out the storm along the southern portion of the Great Balsams. This will likely be the spot for the highest totals in our area

    1.8" storm total. Not too shabby.

    Crossroads cam looks solid with 1 - 2" on the ground, same for Highlands but looks a bit more (6am) Someone i follow on twitter (and encouraged to join the forum) is out of Yancey at 4500', 1/2 mile from the TN line and is reporting 7" as of 6am. 2" here in the valley (Waynesville), about a mile from downtown the way the crow flies. Congrats everyone!

    One of the many reasons we moved from Jackson to Haywood was the weather. I was tried of being burned by winter storms in the deeper valleys of SW NC, that and a touch cooler in summers. Although I am a fan of rain and the Plateau is something special. Highlands and many other sites surpassed 100" of rain on the year, for the fourth year in a row.

    Two storm chasers locally will be camping out along Carver's Gap to live stream (hopefully) blizzard conditions. I wouldnt worry about their safety, these two know what they are doing.

    The GSP AFD mentions thundersnow... "Thunder snow will be possible as well due to the dynamics of this system and the development of instability within the core of the system."

    Picked up 0.97" in roughly two hours. Woke up to the rumble.

    I run a snowmaking business and its been an insane year for snowmaking hours here in the valley (Waynesville). We've had more snowmaking hours than Cat this season, in particular during December with so many inversions the last few weeks. Check out Latitude 90, they are likely to be the new norm for snowmaking at slopes like Cat; internal snowmaking, thrown out from the container. Link: https://latitude90.ca/ Rooting for you up Crabtree for Sunday night, looking good for northern Haywood.

    Highest official total so far is out Lake Toxaway at 17.36" (CoCoRaHS) Cruso FD picked up 14.17"; 5.28" in just 3 hrs Tuesday (9" for the day), which is the cause of the flash flood down East Fork and into Canton

    Dipped to 31°F this morning with frost on grass.

    Not sure who all uses the NC EcoNet stations but they updated their website, dashboard, and added new features on Monday. I'm loving it so far, playing with the Mtn Research Station data. We had patchy frost yesterday morning (34.4°F) but only managed to dip down to 37.9°F this morning, no dice. Link: https://products.climate.ncsu.edu/cardinal/scout/?station=WAYN

    Took a slight detour on the way to work this morning. Passing snow showers over Canton.

    Driving on I 40 at 2pm around MM 29 and a guy sped by us going at least 70mph, hydroplaned and spun out into a ditch and flipped. It was insane. He walked from it but this rain is way too heavy to be flying down the road. Be safe out there y'all.

    There is a slight celebration feel to it. I def was not the first, there were many cars at overlooks taking advantage of the open trailheads but everyone was excited for it be back open.
  22. Local Yokel Wx
    Parkway is back open and found some light snow around 9am. Looks like most of the parkway picked up a skiff overnight. This was taken nearby Devil's Courthouse/Beech Gap/Hwy 215
