  1. A trace overnight, low of 17 and sitting at 18 now. Trees look amazing.
  2. I’m gonna need the globals to delay that storm to starting after I get home on the 31st so I can enjoy it instead of try to get up the mountain in the immediate aftermath
  3. About 3000’ seems to be the cutoff for fresh snow on the trees on my drive into town. Light snow was starting back up at home when I left, had a quarter inch on the frozen ground.
  4. Some tiny flurries when I left just now, sitting at freezing. Nothing out in upper Crabtree besides the flurries, looks like Chambers Mtn and it’s ridge line along with Crabtree Bald was the stopping point, both have some fresh snow up top and Crabtree Bald is currently getting a snow shower it looks like along with back towards TN.
  5. Dry here, holding steady at 34. Looks like snow showers falling just to my south when I look out the window.
  6. Engulfed in fog now. Watched it slowly work it’s way over and down the one mountain and now up mine.
  7. 34.7 and rain here, thought I’ve seen the occasional flake mixed it. Temp has been steadily dropping.
  8. Last year was decent, this year there’s been maybe two or three events and that includes Monday.
  9. 16 this morning here on my side of Haywood, wind is finally calm. A couple days to get ready for the next system, whatever it brings.
  10. I’ve got a buddy with an Airbnb up there if you are serious about it sometime, don’t know if it’s up as high as Buckethead though.
  11. Awesome photos @Buckethead , those are magazine worthy and really showcase how late the rut runs up here in the mountains. Weather, botanical and animal species, animal behavior, etc., we really an entirely different beast than the rest of the state. This week is setting up to be something we talk about a while.
  12. Snow has shut off here for now and t he sun is out, dark clouds to my NW towards Crabtree Bald. Up to 25, let’s see if the roads are better than yesterday. Forgot to add, had 2.5” on my board I cleared after the sleet and measure 9-10” in spots I thought didn’t have drift issues, so I feel good that 9.5-10” is about what our total ended up as.
  13. Can’t tell what’s blowing snow and what’s the light snow and diamond dust that’s been falling pretty much all morning. It would SLOWLY be adding up if not for the wind. Temp has been holding steady at 19 even with the sun peaking through and it being past 10 am now.
  14. I’d pay good money for them to never see another snow more than an inch due to their incessant whining. It really makes me only want to stick to this thread and get my mid-long range discussion from the Tennessee Valley sub.
  15. Wind woke me up at 4 and is still brutal out, 19 out there and that wind make it a good morning to linger around inside.
  16. Light snow still falling, took one final measurement for the night of 8” (I’m figuring we had about 9” total factoring In some compaction from the hour of sleet but I’ll confirm in the morning on a board I cleared off post sleet). We’ll see what tomorrow morning and throughout the day holds here with the NWFS.
  17. Backside has been here about 15-30 min, decent rate and dendrite size. It’s pure fluff too.
  18. I’m looking forward to seeing how that plays out. Gonna have to get a new snow shovel for clearing the deck and steps between now and next weekend when we hopefully do this all again.
  19. Slowly and steady drop now that daylight is fading, down to 24. That stuff from TN swings through it should be high ratio.
  20. Went up to the top of the mountain which is the county line, solid 7-8” here. Not really doing anything right now, some real fine light snow. Would be nice to squeeze out another 2” if the backend swings through just right to hit double digits. Of course might get 2” regardless with NWFS.
  21. Time for a walk. Measured 7” after the sleet so probably closer to 8” thus far.
  22. They aren’t fatties anymore but it’s ripping. Think I’ve reached the 8” mark, should have cleaned the deck off before the sleet but wasn’t thinking.
  23. Moderate to heavy snow with big flakes now, wish it would stay like this the next 6 hours haha.
  24. Yep I’ve go to flakes starting to mix back in as it gets heavier.
