Everything posted by cold air aloft

  1. How awesome is this y’all! We were long overdue for an event like this. Heavy snow, no friggin warm nose to worry about and it’s not going anywhere anytime soon. Enjoy everyone!
  2. A cold ground makes all of the difference. Everything that is falling is sticking. My yard is solid white.
  3. I really hope this is a Murphy to Manteo event., it would be great to see everyone cash in.
  4. I saw that post as well and while I respect that meteorologist, I thought that might just be a bit premature.
  5. 20 degrees with a nice dusting of snow. Still flurrying a little.
  6. It’s going to be a skating rink tomorrow morning when all of this precip freezes with the crashing temperatures.
  7. 44 and rain with a robust wind from the south. Don’t know exactly how much ice I got before the warm up, but that’s the most ice accretion I’ve ever seen here in Maggie. Like Met mentioned, this is still an ongoing event for many in Haywood County. One for the record books for sure.
  8. I really feel like this is going to be a historic event for those of us in the TN border Counties.
  9. I was skeptical of GSP’s Ice forecast for Haywood County based on my life experience here, but they are on target.
  10. The rain is picking up and my truck already has a nice glaze on it.
  11. 34 with a few sleet pellets in my part of Maggie Valley.
  12. I think it’s like analytics in sports, we have all of this new technology to rely on that some people forget that life experiences and common sense are still worth something. There is still a place for the cagey, veteran baseball manager who will use analytics to a point, but still rely on his gut when to make a pitching change. Same with weather forecasters, models and data are wonderful tools, but you also need to rely on knowing how basic climatology works in your backyard. Just my two cents.
  13. Met and Steve, when is the last time y’all remember Haywood County having a major ice event, especially up through the Balsams? In my recollection it’s been maybe 20 years or more. A very rare occurrence around these parts if that verified.
  14. I can tell you how this will play out where I am. It will be in the 20's with sleet/ZR in Buncombe County and rain with temps in the mid 40's IMBY with roaring SW winds a few hundred feet above me sounding like a 747. Having a warm nose take a way your winter storm is bad enough, but listening to it just adds to the misery lol.
  15. Less than 72 hours before the event, I honestly don't think I will be surprised whatever the outcome is. A few days ago I was thinking all snow above I-85 and while that doesn't look likely now, it still wouldn't totally shock me. I believe the next 48 hours in the modeling are going to offer up a few surprises. What a strange setup all of this is. Might as well enjoy the ride y'all! I
  16. I still think this turns out to mostly a snow event from I-85 north.
  17. Hunter mentioned watching the radar returns develop today in Louisiana. The returns there and in East Texas are starting to look pretty interesting to me.
  18. It's been wild this week, all of these storms just keep going around Maggie.
  19. That’s March weather here in the mountains for you, something for everybody.
  20. I’m afraid so too. What is going on in Mississippi right now is just devastating. It’s going to be a rough time for many in the SE now though tomorrow unfortunately.
