  1. Can’t guarantee snow but your best bet will be in the Northern Mountains at 3500 feet or above… ideally in Avery or Watauga (or Wolf Laurel). I think Sugar, Beech or Wolf are your best bets.
  2. Blizzard conditions here in the Roan. 18 with snow squalls reducing visibility to almost zero occasionally.
  3. Wow, 34 for a high with flurries most of the day. 31 now with 17 inches of snow on the season. Northern mountains are the forum winners thus far apparently.
  4. We’ve been hammered up here in the western Avery high country. 17 inches so far and plenty of days with snow on the ground. Solid snowpack right now.
  5. I think it’s def worth a trip to the Northern Mountains for this one (Avery county). All guidance seems to indicate this one will rip up here. Biggest concern would be getting here before 8 or 9 as blizzard conditions will set in.
  6. 37/18 here. Think I might be just far enough north and protected to avoid the warm nose we shall see. Will depend on banding/amount of qpf in the northern mountains also.
  7. Had .75 last night which was a nice surprise. Lots of blowing too made it wintry. Id imagine the northern mountains and foothills will do well with the upcoming storm. Rooting for you guys further south and in Asheville.
  8. Light-moderate zr continues here. 31 degrees with about .1-15 ice on every surface. Even my gravel driveway is treacherous.
  9. 30 with freezing rain here. Already a coating.
  10. We actually had a good amount of ice up here Sunday night. Interesting in that it coated everything including the road and my entire yard! I'm sure we will get slammed again tonight. Cold air gets trapped in my high valley because it’s surrounded on all sides by high peaks. Should have some upslope snow showers and a refreeze tomorrow afternoon up here also. Def winter!
  11. I can just about guarantee accumulating snow at my house prior to the second week of December in North Carolina. Already have 7 inches on the board! I average about the same as Portland, Maine though every year.
  12. Northern lights are amazing tonight! Side note, sudden crazy winds out of seemingly multiple directions and a casual 20 degree temp rise in fifteen minutes! Honest to God snow rollers all over my yard lol! Natures snowballs.
  13. Wow! I have 7.5 inches (at least) and drifts to 15 inches at my house in the Roan highlands. I am just under 3800 feet in elevation but we do well in NW flow. its still absolutely ripping.
  14. Getting absolutely smoked for the past 45 mins. 1.25 inch new and maybe 50-100 yards of visibility if I’m being generous. Temp fell to 19.
  15. 23 currently with moderate snow. 2 inches so far with untreated roads covered. The snow has dramatically picked up in the past fifteen minutes.
  16. The models keep getting better! That upper level low pass looks classic across all guidance. Pretty excited for this one.
  17. Expecting a pretty intense blizzard here and making final preps this weekend. If that upper low takes the euro track, look out! Looks like 50 mph winds, temps in the teens and snow squalls.
  18. 41-38 here. Mount Mitchell has been below freezing for the last few hours and I figure over 5500 in the roan it is as well.
  19. Dude, no offense and I enjoy some of your posts… this is the least surprising take I’ve ever seen on the board, and I’ve been on here or easternwx (or wright weather before that) for over twenty years.
  20. I might try Canaan valley state park. Easier to access and the road is generally in decent shape. Black bear has some decently priced suites that are pretty cool also.
  21. Yeah, 80-90 percent of my snow comes from NW flow lately. If we actually had an average amount of synoptic snow we could really rack up the seasonal total.
  22. Not sure that the magnitude of this MJO pass is set in stone yet. There are many solutions depicting a stronger MJO pass and the models haven’t been exactly locked in on its strength.
