3” gives me double digits for the year (and it’s already mid-Feb). I feel like that’s not asking for much just below a 4000’ ridge line in a NWFS area but this winter it seems it is. ULL are so tricky I would not want to be a forecaster whether behind the scenes or in the media. I’m already prepared for Spring to be like all the past recent ones I.e. not Spring like at all and messing up fishing conditions. All I have to say is when the tide changes we are due for a big storm or “bad” (good if you like cold and snow) winter in order to average things out. Cyclical nature and all that.

He just filtered it by elevation. Looks like he’s saying above 1200’ is where accumulation would be and the. Going from there i.e. above 3500’ =5-7”, above 5000’ = 7-9”.

If things hold out through tonight’s runs then I’ll have to start making some contingencies on this weekends plans possibly. Might be no trip to downtown Asheville for a pre-Valentines lunch and festivities on Saturday lol.

Haywood has been the jackpot for the southern mountains every run it seems. 48 more hours to go.

Give me a blend of those outputs and I think all us mountain and foothill folks will be happy, especially if you have elevation.

Can I cash out now? For whatever reason and whatever happens with this weekend, I think we have a few more surprises in store between now and May. Odds say we are due for a big storm in March, mountains seem to average a big one (I’d even say one that has blizzard conditions) about every 30 years it seems (Haywood had ‘34 or ‘36, then you had the end of February and March of 1960 with the 3 straight weeks of storms and finally everyone knows ‘93).

Hit 17 around 1-2 am time frame but up to 24 at daybreak.

39 and a cold rain at 3800’ in Haywood

21 this morning, crisp perfect morning with the .25-.5” of snow I got yesterday still coating everything. Might drive up to Max Patch later to see how they did. Hopefully can get another light coating tomorrow night, I’ll penny (can’t even calm that amount a nickel) my way to double digits this thus-far anemic season if I have to!

27 with a heavy dusting of a .25 inch. Wasn’t home overnight and just got back so could have had a tinge more but no clue. Flizzard has stopped for now.

No doubt!

Hit 52 around noon then it clouded up, down to 45. Lot of melt today.

Highly suggest the mountain and foothills crew checkout the pattern thread in the TN Valley forum if you aren’t already, Carver does great write-ups. Outside of Larry (GAwx) on our side, their pattern discussion blows our forum’s away right now. Lot more info discussed regardless of good or bad pattern, lot less whining.

It makes sense in my head lol. A year in and I’m still learning the nuances of my new location.

Good Lord, at 7 am it was 38.7 over here. I know you are in a bowl but either the inversion setup crazy fast in our 300’ elevation difference or one didn’t setup over on your ridge. Saw 24 down in the valley last night while my weather station was reading 34 (thinking it could have been reading a few degrees to warm as the snow was stiffened up and melt water was frozen and my usually accurate truck thermometer was reading 28).

I was in the 40’s but I’m WSW facing

Yea, looking at my history it shows a low of 13.8 for me as well at 1:45 am, 8 am I was at 21.2. A balmy 38.7 now.

13 was the low for this morning. Gonna be a gorgeous Sunday!

Good capture, don’t often catch them with their head down and eyes closed.

6” is what I’m going with after some more measurements in some protected places, some good drifts. Light snow off and on currently.

Yea I figured last night the ridge from Chambers Mtn over to the Glades was probably getting it good based on how it was snowing between Lake Junaluska and Crabtre and then it was hardly snowing here. Friends on Chambers have over 6”. Good first event of the year!

18 degrees and 5-6” measured on the deck. Got a board down by the garage that’s protected from the wind that I’ll get a measurement on later.

Just got home from Waynesville, little adventure back but not too bad. 1-2” in town, roads were covered in shaded spots and over bridges there but slushy and mainly wet otherwise. 74 was just wet. Maybe around 2” Iron Duff and Crabtree, closer to 3 as you got out towards the base of my mountain. 209 was covered but not completely, paved road out to my place was completely snow covered however. Measured 4.5” on my deck. Actually had tapered off to just light snow at my place, heaviest was Crabtree/Iron Duff area of 209. Would love to squeeze out another 1.5” between now and when the flow shuts off but not sure I will, have to see what morning brings.

You are piling it up down there! Makes me wonder what I’m gonna be coming home to. Where are we at @Met1985

Came back from Sylva and coming down 74 from Balsam to exit 98 was sketch and snow covered. Gonna be interesting going back to Crabtree and up the the mountain later!
