  1. I was attending Mars Hill College during those winters. Memories I will never forget actually living in WNC!
  2. Emptied 1.74 out of the rain gage. That is certainly more than was expected for this event.
  3. Nothing but rain and 40 all night and this morning in the Valley.
  4. I had a high of 47 today. Down to 40 now with heavier clouds moving in. Not expecting anything here overnight but rain. Good luck everyone in the Ice Storm!
  5. One of the best and most unique microclimates in the country, I believe.
  6. Up to 21 now. There was a bit of an inversion overnight. Cataloochee had a low of 25 this morning.
  7. 17 this morning in the Valley. My 3rd coldest morning of the Winter season so far. It has me thinking. That's some mighty chilly air to start the day and cirrus clouds are expected by noon limiting any daytime heating. It never got above 35 here yesterday with clear skies and light N winds. Maybe a surprise or two this evening into early tomorrow morning? I guess we will see!
  8. I joined Eastern WX back in 2007. Been here ever since with a couple of name changes.
  9. Larry C had a nice update today talking about the cold rolling East of the Rockies into our Region beyond mid month. I agree that our Winter is back loaded and we certainly could be in for a wild ride well into February.
  10. Another chilly day in the Valley. My high for the day was 35 around 2 PM. Temperature has dropped back to freezing now and with ideal radiational cooling overnight, we likely will fall toward 20 by daybreak.
  11. GFS says what Winter Storm? Much weaker and a lot less QPF.
  12. No snow in the Valley overnight. Fingers crossed we see snow ~vs~ ice Friday night into Saturday.
  13. I'm not sure I'd invest the expenses associated with the weekend event in WNC at this time. Later in the month could be very promising though.
  14. Closest mPing report of moisture falling is NE of Dalton GA. Hopefully our SW neighbors report something in the next hour or so.
  15. mPing snow reports coming in around and N of Huntsville and a couple of reports N of Atlanta.
  16. Chance of light snow showers early this evening into the midnight hour.
  17. Honestly I believe that the best is yet to come regarding our winter weather potential. Nino climatology strongly suggested that things wouldn't get going until mid January at the earliest. We've had lots of teasers with even an inch or so here at Valley level in early December. That "torch" December never really materialized for those of us living in the mountains. Think of all those awesome pictures posted just the last 30 days. Heck, I might even see a flurry or two tomorrow evening!
  18. Thank goodness! I hate being big score spot 6 days out on the operational guidance.
  19. Sure feels like snow out there today. My temperature has been stuck at 33 the past 4 hours.
  20. Get this look into 3KM range and we may have something. Almost there after a month of "torch". Climo fellows.
  21. Yeah, I went to Ingles in Waynesville earlier. Driving back, the sky just kept getting darker coming up Soco Rd and rates picked up past 276. Our Guests just got back from Soco Falls. They said a good coating at the Falls and an inch or two at Soco Gap on grassy surfaces with NCDOT treating the road over to Cherokee.
  22. Finally getting some accumulation on the deck and grassy surface and the driveway and secondary roads are wet.
  23. Starting to get some flurries in Maggie. Cataloochee also has flurries flying.
  24. Looks like a dusting of snow fell early this morning above 4K just above the Valley. Town is absolutely packed with skiers/borders and Cataloochee made snow all night as well. If those operational models are somewhat correct, the next 7 to 10 days could be awesome! Fingers crossed!
