Buckethead

Next weekend looks interesting (and cold) for sure. I've had a few notable shows in April since moving here in 2017. It still amazes me that it can snow here into May since I came from south of Columbia, where April is almost a summer month. 4/1/20: 2.75" 4/9/18: .75" 4/16/18: 3.75” Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Moderate snow and 31 this morning in Wolf. A car topper so far (10 minutes or so.) Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Currently 30 with light snow here in Wolf. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

It amazes me that we had such a warm November-December with no snow, and yet I'm right at my average right now. And it looks like we may have snow again for the third weekend in a row in March. Impressive. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Yup, from 59 at 430 to 32 and snow here in Wolf. I love getting two seasons in one day. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Had a low of 3 this morning, and even with the snowpack the high reached 42. That's pretty impressive. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Currently down to 4.7° here. -2.8° up on Mitchell. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Finished with 10" here. I'm ready to go back to spring weather now, I have some DH trout calling my name. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Just under 10" now and it's still cranking! Here's a video from the AT/Big Bald. Had a gust of wind push me over. Somewhere around 5° https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=5552589081435212&id=100000525245641 Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Well over 50" on the season now and counting. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Over 6.5" now and down to 16°. That wind is unrelenting. I'm heading up to the bald in a little while. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

The wind has now shifted around to NNW at 22 with gusts around 40. Here it comes! Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Currently 19.1° with light snow falling and about 4" on the ground at 4360' in Wolf Laurel (Yancey). Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Approaching 4" on the ground now at 4500' in Wolf. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

I have about 2" on the ground so far. Absolutely hammering right now! Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

29.6° with moderate snow in Wolf. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

That's the kind of trend I like to see just before gametime! Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

I'm at 44. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Thundersnow reported in Arkansas earlier and now around Memphis per the TN valley thread. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

GSP mentioned thundersnow in the PM AFD. Guess I should try and catch a nap before midnight. Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC 308 PM EST Fri Mar 11 2022 NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/... As the cold front slides through the CFWA overnight, very rapid height falls and intense CAA will filter in behind the front. This will support a 10 degree C drop in 850mb temps in less than two hours across the mountains with rapidly falling snow levels. Expect a quick transition to snow across the mountains just after midnight starting in the Smokies and ridgetops, with the valleys getting in on the action later overnight as snow levels continue to drop. Northwest flow regime will set up shop early Saturday morning and should last well into the afternoon hours along the TN border. With very good saturation through the dendritic growth zone, frontogenetic forcing, and decent duration of snow, elected to continue the Winter Storm Warning above 3500` and Winter Weather Advisory below 3500` over the mountain zones. As the core of the low enters the CFWA overnight, high-res models continue to produce small CAPE which could produce thundersnow with 1-2" per hour snow rates at times. With what looks like a Great Lakes connection and the CAPE potential, wouldn`t be surprised if a few streamers across the mountains developed snow squall characteristics. Temperatures will rapidly drop behind the front due to the very stout CAA, with temperatures dropping throughout the day Saturday. Expect high temperatures to be recorded at midnight tonight as some of the coldest air of the season filters in overnight through Saturday and into the beginning portions of the short term period.

I've picked up 44.75" so far. The models have me thinking I just might break 50" on the season! Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Tomorrow night and Saturday morning are shaping up nicely for the border areas! Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

I'm hoping NE TN scores on this. Long overdue. I'm concerned about the wind Saturday morning up here on Big Bald. The ground is extremely wet here and I have a feeling there's gonna be quite a few downed trees/ power outages. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

GSP certainly sounds optimistic. Guess I need to go get some more salt. 000 FXUS62 KGSP 081945 AFDGSP Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC 245 PM EST Tue Mar 8 2022 .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... The bigger story will likely be the cold temps behind the front. The temperature gradient along the front looks particularly strong, as do the post-frontal winds. Temps will remain above freezing even in high elevations most of Friday night, crashing rapidly Saturday morning; profiles quickly become supportive of snowfall across the mountains, and look particularly good for a NW Flow event, which could continue into early Sunday. The elements do look like they are lining up: strong cold advection, strong NW winds, relatively deep moisture with a Great Lake component, and weak surface instability. Accumulating snow certainly looks possible for the NC/TN border areas at this point. Winds could easily reach advisory criteria for the mountains if not portions of the Piedmont in the wake of the front; based on current Bufkit profiles and raw model gusts, High Wind Warning may be warranted for some of the mountains as well. The main caveat currently is whether the low track will continue to trend one way or the other as we approach Friday night. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk
