Hope all is well with you mountain folks who I live thru vicariously this time of year. I’m hoping for the storm to trend better for us down here but if not I’ll likely be hauling up the family to Maggie valley on Thursday-Sunday. Watching model trends carefully, but hope we all can score! Good luck!

Nice flurries here tonight as well. It has snowed off and on all day today. Hate that I can’t stay for round 2 on Thursday and Friday. Thankful to be only 5 hours away and get to live like yall do once or twice a year in the winter. .

It’s snowing at a decent clip here again. Windshields are covering back up. .

I shared these in the mountain thread but will share here as well. I measured 2-3 inches this morning after the morning snow was wrapping up. We still are getting some flurries now but this morning was beautiful. We would have had 8+ easy if we didn’t mix all day long yesterday. The heavy snow from 4-6 yesterday was something I haven’t seen before up here but we would always lose it once we went to lighter returns and that hurt the accumulation part of this storm. Still a beautiful snow and my third consecutive chase of MLK weekend up this way. There is just something about this weekend. Enjoy the photos! .

Ended up with 2-3 inches. Would have easily been a lot more if we didn’t have mixing issues, but it’s beautiful and stuck to everything. .

Moderate snow here all morning and we picked up a couple inches last night. It’s stacking up rather easily right now with temps in the teens. Not sure how long it’ll last but big flakes .

Getting some nice light snow right now and it’s accumulating nicely with temps below freezing. We picked up and inch or two over night and everything is white. .

Here is a link to how big those flakes were earlier. Just need more of that later! https://x.com/parker_beck/status/1747052789035897134?s=20 .

The HRRR continues to show a lull here for a bit but is picking up on some intensity with snow around midnight and lasting for several hours. I’d expect us to be well below freezing by then and am hoping that’s when we can pile some up. Mixing has really messed me up in this event but still has been great. .

This was as the heaviest snow was letting up. .

We are back to lighter precipitation mixed with some sleet. That was an intense hour or so where we picked up 1-2 inches. Praying for some magic tonight when temps finally drop .

Cars were bare an hour or so ago as well as trees. Probably half dollar size flakes now!! Cars are stuck on ski mountain road .

I don’t know how they could get bigger but they have. It’s near white out and everything is covered. Visibilty is horrible. .

It’s truly goose feather flakes right now. If I could post a video. They are HUGE. It’s all turning white so fast .

NWS has around an inch in my grid tonight. After looking at all models and the radar, I think 4+ is an easy bet. It’s going nuts right now and radar shows nothing to stop it. .
