Yeah nothing to worry about.  Today will be some fluctuations but I fully expect the precipitation field to move north.

Yeah it seems like these systems are always juicer when they get here let’s hope that holds true for this one.

We jumped up to 29 and still have some fog. 

Another flood watched issued for the southern mtns

This rain is no joke it seems like we could be classified as a rainforest here just like highlands.

Don’t think I’ll ever make it to 50 today I’m at 25 with dense freezing fog still

Was able to pick up 3.25 inches today which puts my season total at 6.5, still got a ways to go to reach my locations climo. But I enjoyed every minute of today’s snow.

Right at 3 inches and still coming down at a good clip.

Moderate snow with 2 inches.  Looks like the best rates will stay to the south in north GA.

Just got back home there are cars out of the road everywhere. I think we might make a run at 4 inches. Best rates just stoped right at the state line.

Light to moderate snow here with ground and road getting white. East Tennessee is over performing I think we’re in for a nice surprise.

Did not except to wake up to a winter storm warning. My biggest snow of the season was two inches so anything over that I’ll be happy with.

Picked up a half inch here this morning and still snowing lightly.

Had about a 15 minute lull and now it’s pouring again the band coming out of Dahlonega concerns me because with a more northerly component it could train for a while.

3 and 1/2 inches and still coming down, water out of its banks everywhere.

The Nam is back! We can all breath now.

`18Z Nam now shows no snow at all for the weekend. Hopefully the up slope will over perform..

It’s the Nam at range, if it showed a foot of snow would we believe it. Most models show at least some snow so let’s just enjoy what we can get, I still believe the models will come in wetter in future runs.

Its frustrating how its getting sheared out. Hopefully it will hold together a little longer as we move closer. 

Hopefully it will but virtually every model still gives us a couple inches.

Now let’s just juice this system up a little like every other system has and will be looking at a dang good event.

Here’s a little eye candy!

Euro was a close miss, it has the storm just a little too warm.

Northern mountains and the smokies actually fair well.

Hope so. It looks like it could be a warning level event.

This is the best look we’ve had all winter within 5 days. A good warning event would go a long way on easing the pain of this winter.

Canadian on board as well. Let's see if this can hold.

I’m excited to see what the euro says this might be a legit threat.

Just now, franklin NCwx said:

The best lift was just east of the divide.  Highlands,  glenville,  Cashiers,  toxaway were the best spots.

It was so close to being a nice event for us when I rode into Franklin earlier there was a good mix and mostly snow when rates were present.

Well it was fun to see the snow flying but we lacked precipitation. Only received .06 of precip which amount to a light skiff of snow on elevated surfaces congrats to the southern mountains.

I wouldn’t complain with the 3-6 inches the Nam shows for me but man oh man if we could be just a degree or two colder it drops a inch of  precipitation.

I'd bet serious money that the gfs and euro are both under doing the extent of the NW precip shield. Not to mention we still have 2 days for the inevitable nw shift. Temps are still gonna suck but hopefully the mountains can something. Honestly I'd rather not see any NW shifts I'd rather just take my chances with questionable moisture rather than questionable temps.

Wouldn’t a north west trend help get better rates here that would help with dynamic cooling.

Nam looks great for the Wednesday system solid 2-5 inches across wnc and it’s still snowing.

Give it 12 hours it will change again....

Wow was you right, I don’t have any access to maps but there’s some in the mid to long range forum. Hint hint it’s a blizzard.
