Friday into Saturday could be a legit threat. Temps are going to be borderline, but it looks like the ULL could help get it done here in the mountains of WNC. GFS just dropped 4” of snow at KAVL.

Starting to look like we might be able to score a decent event. Almost every models shows at least light to moderate snow.

Finished 2020 with 122” of rain. 

Wow that’s a lot of rain! Looks like 2021 is picking up right where 2020 left, heavy rain.

I agree we’re just gonna have to wait and see for a little while. The first legit chance I think we will have January 7-8. This has been trending better over the last few runs.

Big bust on temps today forecast was 54* and I only managed to get to 41 with a couple sleet/snow showers this morning.

Had a morning low of 8 here this morning.

Picked up an inch in the last 40 minutes here. Up to around 4” here now.

Flake size is up to nickel size and still pouring picked up another 1/4 to 1/2” in past 20 minutes.

Back to pouring makes for a great mood on Christmas!

Wind has picked up here and clouds thickened back up, @Sw NC weather seems like I’ll be getting what you are seeing soon.

The hard stuff only lasted about 10 minutes but visibility went way down. I’m in extreme north east Macon county for those that don’t know!

It’s flat out pouring here right now the flakes are microscopic but it’s putting it down.

Merry Christmas y’all. It’s amazing out there looked to picked up a 1/2-1” overnight and light snow falling atm.

Light to Moderate snow falling again hopefully this will continue though tomorrow!

Snow has stopped for the most part here in northern Macon county. Measured 10 different spots and got 2.5-3”. Let’s try to get another inch or 2 overnight and tomorrow.

According to radar things should be slowing down in Macon county but it’s still pouring!

Things are deteriorating quickly here.

Yeah it went down hill real fast here!

It’s awesome out there. I can’t get video to load but here at the house there’s almost 2 inches and still ripping! Think we might make a run at 4.

I’m about 3500’ right now we’ll over an inch and it’s still pounding with wind ripping. Visibility at time is less than 50 feet!

Get ready fellas it’s insane we might should be under blizzard warning no joke. I’ll post videos in a little bit.

Wind is ripping now!

10 degree drop in 15 minutes and wind is howling. Craziest thing I’ve seen weather wise in awhile!

Temps falling off a cliff 6 degrees in 5 minutes.

Short term models just keep piling on the snow.

No joke! The latest hrrr shows 3-6” for most of WNC by midnight. I think we might lose a little to melt but with intense rates it should lay fairly quickly.

I know I don’t need to get reeled into the backside of the main precip but man oh man models are trying to reel me in.

These short range models are showing some impressive amounts. Let’s hope there right!

And now the 0z CMC follows suit and comes in snowier. This is starting to get interesting!
