Geez. 21.7 was my low if my weather station was online all night. Sitting at 26.8 currently.

I’m just gonna move to 7-8k feet in the Rockies

30’s and 40’s (April and May) or 80’s (September and October) during prime time for trout, woo!

Been flurrying all day here, some accumulation up above 4200’ on Wine Tops and The Glades. Top of Chambers has snow/ice and of course Crabtree Bald is still in a cloud. Some darker clouds moving in now that I’m headed to Charlotte for the work week

Shetley Jr strikes again! Just giving you a hard time, but we need you to stop being a little dark rain cloud all the time lately lol. Of course every time you complained about drought this year we got rain so maybe you are onto something….

Yea, the mountains there in Iron duff that are same elevation as me had a legit dusting up top you could see from 209 and I could see good coverage up at Cataloochee on my drive towards 209 (good view of Purchase Knob and the ski area after you get away from the base of my mountain). Ready for an area wide crushing followed by some NWFS, hopefully we get that next weekend.

Yep the closer to Maggie you are in Haywood the better it seemed on my drive back to Waynesville.

Well regardless of any more moisture rotating through I can at least say I have another trace on the ground.

Yep that’s what I noticed headed towards town. Great and Plott Balsams have snow covered trees above 4500’ or so.

Go a mile or two down the road and get into a legit light snow shower. Catalochee is entrenched in a snow shower it looks like. Might squeak out a dusting between now and morning if things work their way just slightly more east to my ridgeline. 27 at the house.

Got some light flurries here, nothing to really write home about but hey, some kind of frozen precip for the 4th time this season.

January 16, 2022 is the last time a widespread system came through that I can think of. I had 10” here (biggest storm I’ve gotten to enjoy since I moved to Haywood from Charlotte in February of 2019) at my new place after I had just moved in end of 2021 and I think around 30” total for that season, last year I had one flow snow event of 5-6” and that was it. I don’t even think I cracked cracked double digits for the season. This year I may be close to an inch total from the three minor accumulations thus far. Basically what I’m saying is I’m “cold and snowy weather” starved!

Pretty sunrise here in Harmon Den this morning

Another inversion this morning, 34 at the house, 22 down in the valley.

Was down around 23 at 9 last night and inversion hit right after that, 35 around daybreak. Sitting at 37 now, low at midnight was 28.

14 here with just the same skiff of snow I came home to last night.

Just got home and just a trace over on my mountain, of course the wind is whipping that powder everywhere though. Band must have setup over you longer, did seem to be snowing better a few miles down the road when I left earlier.

Coming down good, just needing some bigger dendrite size. Wind is ripping and I love it. Hopefully when I cons back from Cullowhee later tonight everything will be covered.

Flurries starting up here in NE Haywood

Wind has been howling since at least 4 am when it woke me up. Just finished my hike up to the top of the mountain, wind is ripping and Crabtree Bald has frozen trees starting around 4500’ or so, clouds above that. They are just knocking on my door step but are staying just to my north up around the Sandy Mush Bald area.

Well Haywood would be powerless until 2024, have trees down everywhere and be dealing with landslides if that happened. If ever there was another ‘93, a December “hurricane” would be it. 977 pressure inland cutting through the middle of the state is ridiculous.

Yep, I just got back from Sylva. 28 with a heavy dusting here, like 1/4”. Flash freeze incoming though.

Down in Sylva currently (mid 40’s here) but down to 35 at the house now. I’m sure I’ll come home later to flakes flying.

Down to 41.7 at my place

Hate I’m working down in Charlotte and missing the first event of the season, enjoy guys!
