About two inches at 4000ft in alarka.  Soco gap has about 3 inches 

Pretty much a bust below 3000ft. Rode up to about 3800ft. There was a couple inches and coming down good I’ll post pics later

Starting to mix 33.8 hope we can still squeeze out a inch or two

Sitting at 34.4 here with a drizzle hopefully can get get in some better rates

Maybe just wish casting but the radar in north Alabama and Mississippi don’t look half bad. Sitting at 38.4 F

Next Tuesday-Wednessay looked great on the Euro for the mountains. 6 plus inches of snow with temps falling in the teens and wind gusts in the 30 mph range. 

Couldn’t agree more it’s looking great for snow to stick around for a while also

Got a 1/2 inch here with fine snow falling 

Came through winding stairs gap 3600’ and the ground was getting white with mod snow and even down in franklin mostly sleet

Looks like we might have a few flakes fly tomorrow with light Accums above 3000’ 

Just had a few snow flakes fly by with a temp of 34.7

Well Jason Boyer on WLOS said this will be a nuisance event, I still thought we were far enough away from the event to where things could change overnight.  I don't think I would have said one way or the other right now since there is plenty of time for the models to change.  I remember last year when Jason said we would probably only see an inch and we got a foot in Candler and the Asheville area.  

I agree, this thing still has 72 hours or so to change a lot. It’s hard for me to believe with a 1040 high could not push this thing a little further south

Flipping through the eps members looks promising. Pretty much every member gives something though most are 1-4 inch’s for most they are 5 or 6 at 6+

Next weekend definitely has some potential for a mod. Event

Ended with 90.7” north of franklin 

Just crossed the 4 inch mark here which puts me over 90 inches for the year

Merry Christmas guys. Hope everyone’s had a blessed day.

On a side note both GFS throw us some New Year’s Day snow!

Talked to a guy that made it up to cowee bald and he said there was roughly 19 inches and he measured a 33 inch drift

The wwa was expanded
