Wind was howling up around Sam’s Knob this evening right before dark.  Temp was 51 when I got back to the truck and 49 around Richland Balsam.  56-57 when I pulled here at the house around an hour ago.  I’ll be way up high there again tomorrow morning, gotta love the first strong cold front in Fall!

Pouring this morning from South Asheville to Hendersonville, 26 is flooded right before the hwy 64 exit due to construction runoff.  If there isn’t a wreck there after I came through I would be very surprised. 

Was a raw morning up above 5000’ doing some recon and hanging a stand for hunting season.  Socked in with clouds, some wind, off and on rain and low to mid-50’s.  

Came back from Waynesville and had 1/2” on the deck. 

An easy 2” for the event, probably close to 3” total if I had kept track of measurements throughout the day since I woke up. An overperformer when looking at the forecast for my area. Over 30” for the season at my new place and that’s just since Dec 28th when I closed on it. 

Poured snow off and on down in Waynesville today.  Pouring small flakes when I left the house to head back down to town and everything was covered in 10 minutes.  Crazy April day. 

Got 1.5, maybe up to 2” on the deck this morning

April 8th and biggest flakes and best rates I’ve seen all season.  All I can do is laugh.

Started pouring snow a second again, one of those squalls comes through overnight and I might wake up to a dusting.

Had some flakes and graupel for a second down in Waynesville earlier at 48 degrees.  39 when I left my place.

Wind was brutal yesterday, dry and sunshine let me get some small tree and shrub cutting done though. 

24 hr temperature change for yesterday ended up being -40.6.  Got down to 7 this morning, very impressive for mid-March!

Holding steady at 11.5 at my place.

Measured 4” on protected areas of my deck, so that’s what I’m going with. 27-28” for the season.  Hovering around 14 degrees after dipping down to 13 earlier. Hiked up to the top of the mountain (4100’) and got blasted by the wind, made for a frozen beard.  View from the little lookout up there. 

Man when you get under one of these squalls it puts it down.  How’s this for a 12 hour temperature change.  Went from 51.4 at 12 am to 14.2 at 12 pm for a delta of -37.2.

Shaping up to be the best flow snow event at my new place that I’ve been home thus fa.  No clue on any kind of official total because of the wind earlier when nothing was falling blowing it off my deck but it’s looking like I might be approaching 3” on my deck railing.  The 2-4” call verified for me.  If it does this another 4-6 hours I think I can make a run at 6” and the 30” for the season.

Temps continue to plummet, down to 17.  This temp drop is making a run at reaching levels of one I experienced in Ohio way back in like 2014.  45 degrees when I left the hotel in the morning and -2 when I got back to it that evening.

Did Asheville get anything? 

My friend in west Asheville has about what I woke up to for the looks of the pics she sent, 1.5-2” I’d say.

51 at midnight to 21 now per my weather station history.  Heavy, heavy sleet at 3 am when the wind and it woke me up. Like Met,  got about 2” and the wind is howling

Out of curiosity - where does everyone stand on the season for snowfall totals at the moment? 

I know it’s in the 20-24” range for me, I think it’s right around 23”.

Had a trace this morning at my place.

16.7 for the low at my place this morning

Figured with the cold front and wind I’d wake up to some snow, solid dusting.  Wind whipped it around but probably a 1/4”. Good call Met.

Yep same here.  Pretty remarkable even at 50 degrees. We have literally had snow on the ground basically the whole month of January. 

Mine’s gone but I’m south facing. All North faces were pretty much all snow cover still until today.

Yesterday was colder as we dipped down to 8, low of 13 at 2:30 this morning and now up to 22.
