  1. Winter Storm Warning

    URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
    National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
    423 AM EST Sun Jan 2 2022
    
    NCZ053-021730-
    /O.NEW.KGSP.WS.W.0001.220103T0300Z-220103T1700Z/
    Buncombe-
    Including the city of Asheville
    423 AM EST Sun Jan 2 2022
    
    ...WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 10 PM THIS EVENING TO NOON
    EST MONDAY...
    
    * WHAT...Heavy snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 2 to 3
      inches across Asheville and vicinity, with amounts up to 5
      inches at the highest elevations. Winds gusting as high as 40
      mph.
    
    * WHERE...Buncombe County.
    
    * WHEN...From 10 PM this evening to noon EST Monday.
    
    * IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult. The hazardous
      conditions could impact the morning commute.
    
    * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Rain is expected to change over to snow at
      high elevations late this evening, and then down to the valleys
      after midnight. A few pockets of brief freezing rain are
      possible during the transition, but all the precipitation should
      change to snow by the early morning hours. Although the ground
      is relatively warm because of the recent warm temperatures, the
      snow is expected to fall hard enough to accumulate even on
      roads. The snow may linger into the middle part of the morning
      along the Tennessee border, but slippery roads may persist
      through the remainder of the morning hours, with temperatures
      below freezing through noon.

    It's the unusual warmth that's causing the severe weather & we need the rain.

    If u want a gradual step down process to cold,

    To prevent the severe storms...

    I'm ok with that but,

    We need cold so we can prevent these types of events in winter.

    Prayers to all victims.

    I agree, we need or especially those folks need a pattern change, are we ever going to get cold?  I realize winter doesn't start until next week so trying to hold off for better or cold and snowy weather.  :snowwindow:

    I caught a bit of the news tonight and it’s heartbreaking to see what our neighbors in Kentucky and the other states are going through. Kinda hard to root for a pattern change that would bring more misery to those poor people.  For once, I’d be happy to see above normal temps and no precipitation.  

    I agree, would love cold and snow but for now am okay with warm and no rain.  

  4. Hell we might as well get into spring, the little bit of snow for this morning didn't materialize and the snow for Saturday morning has gone away now.  Yep now they are consistent where as all winter long when a snowstorm would show there was no consistency at all.  Now warm or warm and rain is consistent what the hell is with that.  Come on spring, we keep striking out.  This was the last hope for me.  :facepalm:

    Found dandelions today! From the looks of it, Spring is finally starting after weeks of cold rain

    surely not, let's have at least one descent snow storm before winter is over, WNC I know has a chance till around April 1, I have seen a good snow in April around Asheville.  :snowwindow:

    C used to be the norm here not the exception 

    Yes I'm a native of Asheville and growing up here fifties, sixties, seventies and eighties 4/5 --3-5 inch snowfalls was normal with some big dogs thrown in.  Our weather if your a snow lover has been terrible.  I'm hoping what goes around comes around and we get back into those good old days of winter weather.  :snowing::snowwindow:

    Serious question, if you had 3 options 
    A) one 24-30” Storm with temps in teens and blowing snow but afterwards had a 3-5 yr SN Drought

    B..) One 10-15” Storm and then a 2/3 yr drought 

    c) Consistently 4/5 3-5” events per year but never more than 8” for a decade. 

    I opt for C, I couldn't go for a 2 to 5 year drought, A seems tempting but 3 to 5 year snow drought, NO, No, No, :snowing:

    We needed a flood watch instead of a winter storm warning 

    I agree, I'm glad we missed the ice but for us in Candler the last three winter storm warnings have turned in to nothing.  Thunder and heavy rain was here also.  We just need one decent storm maybe six inch snowfall and I'll be ready for spring.

  9. Here we go again, rain and 35, next couple of days sunny and cold, why can we not get the moisture and the cold to meet up.  cold is always chasing the moisture.  I would like just one 6 inch snowfall this winter and I'll settle for spring coming if we could get that 6 inch or better snowfall. :snowwindow::facepalm:
