  1. Currently 30. I had a trace. Keep adding to those seasonal totals!
  2. Finally getting snow in the Valley from the squalls. Nothing showing up on radar, but it's snowing.
  3. I drove up to Soco Gap (4300 ft) at the Haywood/Jackson County line at the Parkway. Snow squalls are dropping enough snow to cover 19 at times above 3800 ft, but our DOT is standing by with salt and plows.
  4. Temperature is dropping and winds out the NW are increasing currently. Cataloochee has light snow falling as well. I can see off my front porch snow showers are moving in from the Cataloochee Mountains, so in an hour or so, we could see light snow in the Valley.
  5. Should get a break the next couple of hours as the cold front arrives and upslope snow begins. Temperature has risen to 35 now and the fog is only a couple of hundred feet above the Valley floor.
  6. Just woke up and walked the dogs. 34 with a rain/snow mix. Cataloochee is snowing and 31. Edit to add: I have all light snow now
  7. Like last evening, temperature is falling quickly but I do have a bit of breeze this evening. My high was 49 today and have dropped to 38 under clear skies. Hunter in his afternoon post on X stated that this is a two part system. The first coming early tomorrow morning and lasting to around 10 AM. The second part of this system should arrive after 3 PM and he believes this one will drop 2 to 3 inches across the Smokies and Balsams. He stated it should wrap up before daybreak Tuesday morning.
  8. The 12Z 3km NAM suggests 2 to 3 inches here in the Valley. Even Asheville gets snow! That models continues to suggest a good 24+ hours of light snow in Haywood County. Is it enough for GSP to expand the WWA this afternoon?
  9. No freezing fog at the house this morning. It's currently 25 which is my low. Snow makers are busy up at Cataloochee and Tube World here in town. I'm not expecting much from the system coming in overnight into tomorrow. Late this week we are likely to get the coldest air of the season as lobes of Arctic air heads our way. It's too soon to know if we will have precipitation arriving with the Arctic front.
  10. Anyway, skies have cleared and the temperature has dropped 5F the past hour. Currently 37 at 5 o'clock.
  11. Maggie Valleys average is 8 to 10 inches a year. I've surpassed for the last 6 years and already well on the way to surpass the average again this winter. We need a big synoptic storm Region wide to calm the Mountain envy!
  12. That's simply not true. I've averaged over 8 inches every year for the last 6 years and have even seen a couple of years over 25 inches. I bet Buckethead has been above average as well.
  13. The 12Z GFS remains aggressive for a nice little event Sunday night/Monday/early Tuesday.
  14. Woke up to a low of 34 here in the Valley at 3200ft. Looks like Cataloochee dropped to 33 with light rain. Warm nose saved us for this event. Keeping an eye on Sunday afternoon into Monday for another shot of wintry weather. I see DC has snow this morning. Good for them.
  15. Stuck at 41 after a low of 26. Wet bulb is 28 with a DP of 19. Radars from Morristown and Nashville are juicy!
  16. We Mountain folks are pulling for you guys! Don't give up, it's December 3rd and we aren't even into prime time climo wise for the Region!
  17. Looking like a Winter Weather Advisory will be hoisted tomorrow for Thursday night into Friday morning across the Mountains. GSP in their Hazardous Weather Outlook is mentioning snow tomorrow night mixing with sleet/freezing rain/rain Friday morning as the warm nose builds in during the daylight hours of Friday.
  18. Snow flurries in the Valley. It's starting to stick on the deck and vehicles. 31 and no wind.
  19. Yes Sir! I never expected anything but plain old rain here with this system. It's already sprinkling here at 3200 ft.
  20. I'm sure you folks are aware of another SSW Event unfolding for mid month?
  21. Temperature has actually gone up the past hour here at the house. Was 42 now it's 45.
  22. I see another SSW event is ahead in a couple of weeks. Let the model mayhem continue!
