    Was ISP ever significantly colder than IAD in the winter? IAD is far inland.

    8-1-2 start becoming colder the later into November we get. As for flurries, I was just referring to my location which averages 40 plus inches of snow a year over the past twenty years.

    I bet the Nov 5th-15th period will trend colder on guidance for the northeast. Wouldn’t even be shocked to see some flurries at some point at my location at 3800 feet on the NC/Tenn border. We had about a half inch Oct 15th (3 or 4 inches 700 feet up the mountain). Been unbelievably warm since.

    The 18z GFS is absolutely bonkers and involves the biggest North American ridge I can remember in November. Extremely unlikely to pan out that way given climo.

    Heavy snow showers moving back in off of Roan. Was up to 36.8 now back down to 34 with very low vis. Maybe a 1/4-1/2 mile.

    Yeah, it coated everything here and and everything is white but if it had been two weeks later, we probably would have had 2-3 inches. Had .2 qpf but think it might have been a little more, have to set my weather station up in a better place.

    Maybe a quarter inch here with more up the mountain (I’ve yet to check it out). Still occasional snow showers blowing in off Roan. Up to 34.

    Starting to stick down here at 3800 feet. Excited to see what the mountaintops look like with foliage tomorrow morning.

    Pouring snow now at 34.

    Finally changed over to snow here. 36 degrees.

    41 and light rain with a few sleet pellets. Looks to be about to changeover. 3800 feet elevation, about a mile from the Avery/Tennessee line.

    That shows wind speed in knots not mph.

    I don’t have any connections unfortunately but I voted for Linville! Really hope they can pull it off!!!

    We were planning on moving into our house tomorrow actually but with the current situation will have to delay for at least a week. My neighbor who has lived there his entire life said that in upslope events (my house is actually near Atria) we get far more snow than 3-4 miles down the road by 19e. In fact, he said it’s not uncommon to have 6-12 inches at our location and a dusting at 19e. Said he measured a 48 inch drift last winter.

    I camped on top of Mt. Sterling at 6000 feet in June of 2007 during a tropical depression and it was wild. 60 mph winds easy. Wouldn’t recommend it. I just moved to a location just below Roan Mountain on the NC/Tenn border at 3800 feet so hoping it goes well west

    One of the reasons I moved to a location 4000 feet high a mile from Roan Mountain, TN. Upslope snow is about the only guarantee these days.

    My wife and I are moving to the NC/Tenn border at 4000 feet. A blend of those two years would bring serious upslope snow to my new location. I think most of the east coast would take that blend at this point.

    Packing up the house in Jacksonville, FL to move up to the mountains with my wife next week. Psyched to join the winter weather discussions this year. Here’s to snow!!

    Better description would be within 5 miles of the Mitchell-Avery-Tennessee border. 3900 feet.
  21. chris21
    Hey! It’s texhnically Newland in Avery County. About 4 miles from the Tennessee border. Very close to Roan as the crow flies. Under ten miles for sure
  22. chris21
    Closing on a house up Roaring Creek Rd. at about 3900 feet. Was wondering if anyone could relate some info about the snowfall climatology. I figure it’s a pretty snowy location but hard to find details.

    I love how nonchalant these outlooks are when snow is only expected to impact the high country. Had a similar outlook a few weeks ago when I was up at Beech and the roads were completely covered with drifting/blowing and zero visibility. Def a few slick spots Lolol! Those conditions would absolutely shut down a major city.

    Mid March is still game on for the mountains. Lowlands are another story, but PSU land can still score as well.

    Absolutely pouring snow at Beech. About a half inch so far, road just caved. Temp is at 30 and falling. Radar looks interesting
