IOD is forecast to be neutral be early December.
-
Not liking the trends up here in the mountains. Still want to see a few more models runs before I start making any preparations or anything.
-
For the coastal plain/piedmont that is true. At my location in extreme NW NC at 4000 feet, we have had many above normal snow years in warm winters. We average at least 45 inches and approximately 80 percent of that comes from upslope. We have never had a winter without at least 20 inches of snow here mostly due to the reliability of upslope even in total dud winters.

Hey Don! I think the second chart should be for La Niña and not neutral-cool.
-
Last winter the storm track was even suppressed south of me in extreme NW NC. Thankfully we always get consistent upslope snow so we still ended up with 43.5 inches but very little was from larger synoptic events even this far south.

Summer is def over in the Roan Highlands. Avg temp for the first 15 days of the month is 59.3. The last few days have been seasonably cool.
-
Highest we saw this summer at my house was 81. I imagine we won’t see 75 again before next Spring up here on Tenn border but I’ve been wrong before.
-
38 last night. About to set up my new weather station and put my current one at the lowest point on the property. I’m sure it was a few degrees colder.
-
42 here currently. We will see if we can get into the 30s for the first time this year.
-
42 here this morning!
-
Huge fail here snowfall wise in the southern apps. Had about average snow here, 43 inches.

Down to 36 with a few flakes flying after a high of 62. Strong NW wind with wind chills in the 20s. -
Ended up with about an inch in Roaring Creek but hard to tell with all the blowing. I’d imagine we aren’t done up near 4000 feet on the border though considering it’s only March 7th. We had our first 1/2 inch back on Oct 15th
-
I’ll be up there snowboarding Friday hopefully. You guys usually get a good bit more than I do, esp in marginal situations. The last storm Feb 20th we ended up with a bit more here. I’d imagine you’re in a prime spot for this one.
-
I’m at 3800 in Avery on the border and I’d be shocked if we don’t get at least three inches.
-
25 this morning here. Been a relatively very cool prefrontal day here. 43 now with a very stout south wind already. I’d be surprised if I dont see 65-70 mph winds over the next couple of days and blizzard conditions tomorrow night.
-
Decent storm up in the far western mountains of Avery. 2.5 inches yesterday and almost 4 so far today. Drifts are over two feet at this point and it’s very squally currently.
-
Im measuring a snowpack of 5-6 inches here but my location is exposed and I have drifts to 2-2.5 feet. I’d estimate 4-5 inches new today. Been a whiteout most of the day and the temp has been bouncing between 10 and 14.
-
Over two inches new so far. Just measured a 13 inch drift near the entrance to my driveway!
-
Temp has fallen to 13 with heavy snow. At least one inch new.
-
In my location I’ve found that often the colder the air, the better the upslope. It doesn’t always work out like that but it does more often than not.
-
2.5 inches here after compaction. Made it up to 32 today but kept the cloud cover and light snow so no melting to speak of. Let’s see what the ULL can do! Hasn’t stopped snowing since 5 AM and the upper Roan Highlands have been socked in all day.
-
Nearing two inches here. Moderate snow. Temp is 26.
