Snow total from the peaks of the Smokies: a sh*t load. .

You are making me one happy camper (erm…backpacker)! Thanks for all of the info. I haven’t experienced one of these NW flow events since I’ve been in Knoxville, so I’m looking forward to it! .

This is great thanks! I’m heading to the Cammerer area on the AT tomorrow morning so this gives me hope. I live for backpacking in weather like this. Thanks to everyone for all of the help. I’m slowly learning…lol .

Awesome. Thanks. I looked up the sevier smoky mountains and it appears to have the most accurate descriptions I’ve seen. .

Do you have a recommendation for something else to use for relatively accurate mountain forecasts? .

Thanks, John. Looks like “atweather.org” has pretty inflated snow totals. Either way I have a fairly high level of confidence that the upper ridges in the smokies may approach a foot with this system. .

Hey guys long time lurker (thanks to Powell over on Volquest) but first post. I do a ton of winter backpacking (and sometimes showshoeing) in the smokies and have always wondered how accurate the website ATweather.org is. They use data from NOAA point and click forecasts. Does 3-5” tonight, 8-12” tomorrow, 8-12” tomorrow night and 1-3” Saturday morning sound accurate for this weekend above 5,000 feet or way overblown? Full disclosure…I hope it’s accurate ha! .
