  1. Cataloochee has freezing rain and 31 currently. I'm down to 28 now.
  2. Down to 31. Everything elevated has iced over. Deck is beginning to freeze now. Asphalt drive is OK at the moment. I guess it's time to put some salt down so we don't fall while taking the dogs out.
  3. Edit to add: I have ice on the outdoor grill. Temperature just dropped to 32.
  4. Moderate sleet at times. Temp down another degree to 34.
  5. There have been Severe Thunderstorm Warnings off the Upper Texas Gulf Coast and SW Louisiana this afternoon.
  6. Temperature is dropping. My high today was 38 about a half hour ago. Currently 35 with light sleet.
  7. 37 now. Light snow beginning again at Cataloochee. They're reporting 29.
  8. I've warmed up to 34 now. Snow is flying up at Cataloochee. Hemphill Bald has moderate snow. Nothing at the house currently. Light breeze out of the NE. Heavier returns about to move in. We'll see if it can moisten things up in the Valley.
  9. If you haven't already done it, download mPING app and submit your reports. It is very valuable for GSP and other NWS offices.
  10. Light snow at the Top of Cataloochee. They're reporting 27. Look like no warm nose yet. Snowing in Dallas.
  11. Updated Hazard for the next 7 days and if your hoping for a warmup, the CPC Week 3 and 4 Outlook suggests we stay cold into late February.
  12. Just finished pumping out and cleaning the outdoor jacuzzi. Filling it back up now while I have this 50 degree weather. At least we'll have 700 gallons of hot fresh water!
  13. Yeah, I know. Duke came in before Helene and upgraded everything on the main line including new poles. Brand new wire and brand new transformers. They been working the right of ways the past Month cutting back tree growth near the lake and the high tension lines coming over the mountains as well as feeder lines.
  14. I'm wondering how long the electric grid will hold up in Maggie. We're on a buried electric cable from the main line running along Soco Rd. Fingers crossed the qpf is light and we rise above freezing early Sunday. Ugh...
  15. Ken Graham is doing a great job across social media and cable hitting hard the dangers from ice and what the NWS is doing from a public information and forecasting perspective. Ken is a great manager or 'cat herder' as it's affectionately referred to in the weather service circles. Ken was the Meteorologist in Charge for NWS Slidell, LA during Katrina. He later moved to the NHC as Director and now Director of the NWS.
  16. The G-IV flew its High Altitude mission this afternoon. I'm looking forward to see what results we see with the 00Z Guidance.
  17. Warnings will go up tomorrow morning per GSP. Ice Storm Warning or Winter Storm Warning remains to be seen. I've got to say the GFS has led the way with the Storm in various ways.
