Just over an inch here at 4650 on Beech. 30 degrees WX Station-00-222826-222830.mp4

I can confirm those amounts at my place also at 4650 on Beech (west of Ski resort).

Ahh blue skies. Roan off to the right with Mitchell way off in the distance just to the left.

Measured 6 inches here on Beech at 4pm. Next to impossible to measure now. Safe to say this is the most snow I've seen on the ground here at my place since we moved in 6 years ago. Flow should persist thru Saturday so enjoy! Jason

Sadly I was not there for this event but my son was there getting measurements. All he told me before he left today was more than a foot which looks right. Here is a current pic of the table he used to measure. View in the background is sugar mtn just to the left of that right side tree and then grandfather mtn to the left of sugar.

3 on Beech and yet the snow continues to fall. Lol Another 4-8 looks like a decent bet Friday into Saturday. CamWest-00-235036-235041.mp4

It always blows my mind how your are consistently colder than me and at a lower elevation. Down to 6.2 on Beech. You've got a great spot.

Echoing what Tyler said. Beech is king of this area for flow snow. That's why we got a place up there. Ha ha

I've measured a foot now at 4650 here on Beech. Today's flow far overperformed with the minimal moisture that was available. Looking forward to the next event which will be a little bit of synoptic and a lot of flow snow. I'm thinking another 5-10 is in order for the usual flow snow locations.

Meanwhile currently at 4650 on Beech Mtn. As of 140pm and it's 12.6 degrees. Over 10 inches and counting. CamWest-00-133814-133825.mp4

Puking snowballs here on Beech. And The temperature has been above freezing the whole time. Pushing 6 in solid

My place on Beech is wide open to the east. Just clocked a 60 mph gust with a 10min average of 33mph. All my highest wind readings I get are from the east.

Awesome! All rain on Beech.

About the same here on the Beech. Flow band looks locked in up here so maybe it will over perform. Lol

Snow just started here on Beech

Sadly I don't trust the NAM outside 24 hours. Usually the GFS does a decent job even with the lower resolution. It's rare for the GFS to totally whiff and the NAM wins but it's not impossible.

And the 18z GFS says almost zero flow snow.

One thing the globals are not picking up on that the NAMs are is a direct moisture fetch off lake Michigan late Monday into Monday. Combine that with the really cold 850s and you have a recipe for a good flow event. But it's the NAM and over 24 hours out. But it's something to watch evolve for sure.

This weekend's potential upper level low needs to be watched closely. Typically in years past the ULL would trend stronger as the model runs get closer and closer. This is not that far off from being a major whopper for the mountains come Sunday night into Monday.

38 at 4650 on Beech with snow flakes mixing in.

Closer in shot of 18z 3k NAM. Too bad it's the NAM but it's big run for sure.

3k 18z NAM smokes the mountains and more places in the lee of the mountains.

What's your end goal? Best snow? Best food? Most "city" like? Best Snow....Beech or Sugar Mtn - above 4300. Higher the better obviously. I know all about Lodges at Eagles Nest as it's basically on an extension of Beech Mtn. You can literally walk from the top of that neighborhood over the ridge to Beech mtn resort. Do it all the time. Wife and I like to jog and run through the Emerald outback of Beech to the highest road that takes you to the top near their sky bar if you will. I would not buy any property lower than the Great Camp in elevation. Boone...great if you just want to be near the hustle and bustle. Not so great for snow and it does get quite warm there...compared to Beech Mtn. Blowing Rock...cool town with a great vibe and good food. Better position for CAD ice events but not as prime for snow. What is your experience with the Lodges at Eagles Nest?

Over 4 inch and still coming down. Wish I would have came up to see it.

Solidly over 3 inches now here on Beech.
