@CAD_Wedge_NC Sounding for what I tried to do as central Haywood. I’m on the western border so even worse for me. Northern down into the Central Mountains can score, but unless you are on the Escarpment in the Southern Mountains CAD setups are no bueno majority of the time.
-
Nope, no CAD for us. Just a cold rain if it’s a true Wedge setup.
-
Yea I was thinking inversion this morning from the temps I was seeing depending where I was in elevation but the back down to 30 at nearly the same elevation at 4000’ there me for a loop. Our mountains are unique and I love them.
-
Temps all over the place this morning. Left the house at 5 am and had upper 20’s-30 there, mid-20’s down around Sylva and the Tuckaseegee valley, 38 on 64 at Whiteside Mtn then back to around 30 where I am north of Highlands.
-
I think I grunted him in, he showed up about 5 minutes after I had. Ton of fresh rubs at that spot.
-
16 when I left my truck outside of Highlands this morning to hunt. Dusting of snow down there where I was above 4000’. Nice cold winter morning with ice in my beard. Anyone rooting for the deer will be glad to know he escaped unharmed because I missed haha.
-
I’m ready to experience a good synoptic system, I want to see what the Balsams can ring out during a Miller A or even overrunning event with good cold air to work with because I know what they do when it comes to those systems when it’s plain rain.
-
Trace of sleet and graupel here. Headed to grab dinner and the top of Grassy Bald across 74 from me is white, Plott Balsam is white down to probably 4000’. Angle orientation wasn’t and isn’t right at this moment, just based on last year and this year I can tell the angle that Waynesville proper gets snow during a flow event is different than the angle I need to see decent flakes. We seem to at least see something fall but being below 4000’ things have to be just right to get more than a dusting. Peaks of sun at home but solid low cloud deck in downtown.
-
Either light graupel or tiny flakes falling here, we’ll see if we can get some better stuff bet over Lynn Lowry and down to Balsam Gap.
-
Yea your buddy and I are basically the same elevation I bet, he’s just barely on the Jackson side south side of 74 and I’m barely on the Haywood side on the north side of 74. Seems like when it’s heavier precip it’s all sleet and lighter stuff is basically a misty sprinkle with a few sleet pellets. Mid to upper 30’s up here when I got back from down in Hazelwood.
-
Finished up walking the dogs and had some sleet start falling, just a passing shower though. Scratch that, still sleeting away.
-
Wet ground and plain rain here thus far
-
Good to see you back posting more local, always enjoyed your posts when you would fire up the guns when I was down in Charlotte. Seems we’ve got Haywood and it’s microclimates covered pretty good with posters.
-
Mid-20’s now with a heavy frost this morning
-
Didn’t see anything falling when I went to bed after the App game but looks like some flakes fell and we have a trace of it in spots.
-
For sure, enjoyed every day we got thus far that had that wintry bite to the air not taking it for granted.
-
I like where I’m sitting to see some flakes after midnight though I only expect them to be token ones at this point. Then early next week for sure has my attention. Already liking this winter better than last year lol.
-
Thanks, glad to be back. I’ve been keeping up with things lurking around not logged in since I couldn’t remember my login info and it wasn’t saved like I was saying the other day. Life has been crazy this year, which I think everyone has felt at some point or another and uttered those words lol.
-
Yep, 18 here. Glad I finally got around to putting antifreeze in my camper water lines yesterday afternoon.

Tunnel through the Rhododendron on the AT
-
Talked to a couple on the AT that were on Max Patch this morning, chest deep drifts according to them. One ridge I walked on had some shin to knee deep drifts.
-
I wish I knew why this website turns all my pics, oh well, sorry in advance.
-
Haven’t seen the first track. Found a great rub line on the edge of a rhododendron thicket but wrong side of the ridge for the wind. Couple miles back now, not far from the AT. Just nice to be out and clear my head.
-
6-8” on the ground here at 3600’ in the Harmon Den area on the state line.
-
Let the dog out at 12:30 and we had what looked to be 1-1.5”, approaching 3” now if not already there. Heading towards Harmon Den area to hunt this morning, I’m expecting 5+ there even at the lower elevation. Radar showed them getting hammered when I went to bed. ETA: Definitely had to have scrapped 3” off my truck. Roads are fine even with it being in the 20’s. Neighborhood road had a coating on it but that was it. Around 20 at home, 25 here in town and just a dusting. Best event since we moved up here in mid-Feb 2019. Think we can end up around 4 if it keeps snowing those small, furious flakes til sunrise.
