No doubt! Polkville to Casar in the shadow of south mountain would do it. Or Hollis in Rutherford county.

Gods Country. One of my favorite parts of the state and one of the most underrated.

I’m coming too but I’ll bring my own air mattress or sleep in the car. 

I’m not implying the odds are even remotely in our favor with this system but this is certainly an interesting point:

Some of yall are missing a huge side hustle opportunity. Strap a GoPro on the chest when you go for a walk and post it on YouTube. I realized recently there is an absurd craze for that sort of thing on YouTube.

Yeah this patten east of the mountains is making me sick. Hard to stomach watching that one today. The short lived cold coming up is just a waste in my opinion then back to warm and rain. I don't have a clue anymore what it's going to take to get snow in the foothills anymore. Seems impossible right now.

One thing that makes me much more optimistic moving forward is that we’ve lacked any sort of snowpack in the higher latitudes to this point. That has changed dramatically the past week and will continue to do so. Southern Canada is a freezer right now and we just need one high pressure to slip into the right spot with an undercutting storm and we’re in business. Of course - easier said than done. 

This is just nuts. We wouldn’t even be able to wrap our brains around that snowfall forecast and they’re gearing up for it twice in one week

Yall there’s frozen precip tonight almost to the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. A better winter in southern Louisiana than here. 

Keeping the power on is going to become an issue for you guys here pretty soon

Went to Spruce Pine for dinner and no snow there. 

Oh lawd. Us foothills boys can’t even get snow when we’re hunting it down lol. 

Congrats guys. More heavy rates to come as well.

Incoming GFS looks like a repeat of today for this weekend....

I’d rather it be 105 outside than watch today happen again 

Looks like Watauga County is getting absolutely smoked rn

Euro has an apps runner on Friday with light rain followed by yes, cold air

You must not work with UT fans if you are just now starting to hate that state haha

UNC fans occupy too much of my hating time to focus on anything west of the state line lol

I found our moisture! Ignore the fact that it's accompanied with 60 degree temps....in January

Mud ain’t fun when it’s dry!

Moisture is absolutely overperforming to our SW and I won’t be shocked to see us get socked in this afternoon and evening. Unfortunately it’s going to be rain and or sleet at best. 

We need that ridge to pump out west. That’s what has screwed us for Friday at this point. 

Fat flakes in Lenoir rn. Enjoying it while it lasts!

Moderate sleet with snow mixed in near Lenoir

Boone is getting pummeled right now

The moisture isn’t moving at the best angle but the southern fringe over Alabama is juicy and moving due NE atm.

That band couldn't produce here. It's up to 40 here and the ceiling has raised. I think our chances of flurries are gone 

You called it yesterday and everyone got mad and salty. Thermals are an issue everywhere - even in e tn!
