    Had a snow shower roll through mid-morning and put a dusting down up here where I am working in SW VA (Between Lebanon and Grundy).

    Oh I know but what was a late 2021 expected date is now a late 2022 expected date for the area, I’m sure it will be pushed out further too. T-mobile’s 5G is great if you can get it from everything I hear but unfortunately I’m on the waitlist for it too for when it will roll out to my future home in the sticks. But cell service is good so I’ve got some other options.

    Blustery day in the foothills yesterday, wind had that bite to it that lets you know it’s layout December. Finally ordered a “good” weather station, WeatherFlow Tempest is on the way. It will be nice to have my own “official” records and not have to guess or rely on the truck thermometer/closest wunderground station for observations. Though figuring out my internet situation at the future house so I can use it to its full potential is in wait and see mode (about the only downside to living in Haywood is out lack of non-satellite internet options, especially every place I’ve bought a house it seems).

    Happy Thanksgiving Mountain Crew! T-minus 2 weeks until I’m back up in the mountains after an 8 month hiatus, I’ll try to bring some good luck with me.

    You were but now you talked about how dry it was lol. I’m just glad it’ll be upper 20’s to start tomorrow and will feel a little like Thanksgiving is supposed to feel like even though it’s still supposed to creep above 60 here in the foothills.

    Ok Shettley

    Inversions always amaze me. Even crazier is when you get like a mid-mountain below freezing band within it warmer above and below somehow. Seen it on the Plott Balsams before. Well guys and gals, I am on my way to being a full-fledged mountain poster again. This time right below the top of a mountain at 3800’ on the Haywood/Buncombe border. Should be just to your east now @Met1985 when I close and get settled in. I expect a little colder temps and flow snows to be a little better but less moisture for other events throughout the year. Of course when I looked at the house it was drizzly up there and dry in the valley so who knows, could be wrong.

    Perfect Fall day for me here in Haywood this morning, fall colors, chill in the air, some drizzle. I’m still around but life events had me take a hiatus as a mountain resident and become a foothill resident back in Hickory. Looking at houses before work so I can be an official Haywood resident again. First stop was at 3800’ in upper Crabtree area on the Buncombe county line, next stop is at 3600’ in Jonathan Creek area.

    Just saw they confirmed 2 found deceased this morning, I’m hoping that’s all but reading the tea leaves of information I’ve seen I think the total is going to go higher. I hope our member from Cruso on here is alright and avoided damage.

    That’s probably it, only one I’ve seen cutoff thus far. That’s Hominy Creek.

    Road washed out, this neighbor in Candler is cutoff from the outside world now. FD setup when I walked down there to get people across. I was working just upstream from here when I stopped for the day yesterday before it hit the fan.

    Good to know. Crazy is apt, I’ve experienced some crazy weather this summer between today, a hailstorm above 10k feet in the Rockies a couple weeks ago and the tropical storm over the 4th ag the beach. We definitely don’t need another tropical system up here anytime soon.

    Absolutely unreal Met, my mind can’t fathom that I was on “dry” land there at 1-2 pm only for it to be completely underwater in a matter of hours and then on into the night. I hope they got the goats and chickens out from behind the hardware shop on the banks of the river. I’ve enjoyed watching them when walking by on the greenway the last few weeks in the evenings.

    Same. Places I was working after lunch were under water just like that. I’m fortunate I had a truck issue and had to go to the Toyota dealership or I would have most likely been caught up in it. Praying for safe outcomes.
  15. WxKnurd
    This was 112 at Hominy Creek, turned around instead of trying to cross that. Not as bad as what’s going on in Haywood but shows that even Buncombe is getting hit hard in spots.
  16. WxKnurd
    Stay safe man. I’m stuck in gridlock over here on the west side of Asheville.
  17. WxKnurd
    I was just in front of the Flying Pig like 3 hours ago. Water was running ponding but the creek must have blown out after that first storm rolled through.
  18. WxKnurd
    Holy crap. I was working around all those places last week and yesterday, crazy to see it flooded like that.
  19. WxKnurd
    Hominy creek is out of its banks and running over 112. Had to turn around.
  20. WxKnurd
    Pouring rain in Candler area and street flooding everywhere
  21. WxKnurd
    Ended up on Bear Creek Lake, it was a good day. Largemouth were biting pretty good.
  22. WxKnurd
    I’ll be floating the Tuck most likely depending on the flow

    Woke up to frost here in SE Ohio. Bank thermometer I just passed said 30 degrees. Should be the same for y’all tomorrow.
  24. WxKnurd
    Nice one! I caught a 16-18” one in an undesignated section of the Pigeon the other day while trying to catch a smallie. Hoping to get out and catch a few tomorrow for dinner.
  25. WxKnurd
    Woke up at 8 and it was 9 degrees up on Lynn Lowry and right around 20 here, probably upper teens first thing this morning at day break. Wind made for a cold walk with the dogs at 10.
