Gonna take the blame for totals being slashed in the mountains since I said I’d book a cabin there this weekend haha
-
No one can say that @wncsnowwasnt optimistic this time. We both tried to will it to reality. Alas, wasn’t meant to be… again
-
Leaning heavily towards a Banner Elk weekend (Wed-Sun). Just seems like Miller As don’t exist anymore. More importantly, cold air never meets up with moisture east of the peaks. Jan 2022 remains the last meaningful event.
-
Same here. My years in Boone had multiple “big events” but I loved the over performing NWFS events the most. Real boom or bust.
-
Surprising but the Parkway is open north of the Folk Art Center! I’m getting some nice showers up here right now
-
I’m going to wait until Tuesday/Wednesday to make up my mind. I love snow in my backyard but if McDowell is fringe at best… I might just book a cabin in Banner Elk and have some fun.
-
I know we all want a big storm (myself included) but I’d take a 3-5 inch event in a heartbeat. At the same time…you can see the potential is there for WNC/Foothills for a bigger event too.
-
Panthers and snow potential. Always letdowns.
-
Yea, this is bad. Every hard rain causes issues here after Helene. And this was a major miss/underestimate by the models
-
Was I just not paying attention or is this significantly over performing? I’m already nearing 2” and there’s a lot of heavy stuff in N Georgia/SWNC heading this way. Local creeks and ditches are overflowing (never recovered post-Helene)
-
Pretty sure Met (my “always positive” poster) being negative is the reason everyone east of the mountains will get robbed of snow
-
-
Foothill misery continues
-
Guess beggars can’t be choosers at this points but if we couldn’t get but 2” out of 2 storms but the coast gets a foot, I’ll still be bitter
-
*sigh* feels like we’re gonna get blanked but someone to our east is gonna get snow again
-
Agreed. I’ve gotten bored the last 2 years. It hurts to have events fizzle or not pan out but there hasn’t even been anything to track in so long
-
We’ve had what…. 1 fantasy run all season? When you can’t even buy snow on the long-range models in peak climo… remember when we were “setting the stage” with the Virginia snow in early Dec?
-
I’m about ready to call it. Nothing promising and if I hear the mountain crew say “it can snow in February and March” I might just go bananas. Guess a chilly Thanksgiving and first half of December with a Record warm Christmas week will be the story.
-
Hopium back in the forums? I’m all for the cold but PLEASE let those that have been snow starved finally Cash in
-
If it snows to our south again before we get snow (based on last nights model run), I give up
-
Same here. Always shows McDowell with a trace or 0.1 and I’m sorry, hasn’t happened.
-
I got ridiculed for saying I thought we’d waste early Dec cold that hardly ever works out and we’d end up with a Torchmas. Guess what?!?
-
It’s snowing this morning? Tiny flakes but heavy. Enough to cover the cars and elevated surfaces pretty quickly.
-
I think I need to give in and just buy a “snow house” up in Banner Elk or on Beech to get my fix on an annual basis. Unfortunately, nothing hits as hard as a snow at home though.
-
At least in the years where it’s warm, you know you don’t have a shot. These last few years have been so hard because we’re always so close. It reminds me of the stretch in the mid 2000s (05-08?) where it snowed all around the foothills but we never cashed in until Dec 09. But even then we squeaked out a few small events.
