Here are a few more pictures from my Mt. Rogers hike on May 9:
-
Hiked to top of Mt. Rogers, VA, today. Left the parking lot at Elk Garden at 10 AM and 31 F on the car thermometer. The wind was ripping. Once we got in the trees on the AT, it wasn't too bad, though. Beautiful clear blue sky and skiff of snow everywhere. Maybe an inch at the top. The rime ice was impressive too. We did 9.9 miles in total, according to Gaia GPS. Now that was a perfect May 9! Here are a few pics:

37 F was the low IMBY. Awesome for early May!
-
2.6+ inches of rain last night. A gully washer. I'm now over 8 inches of rainfall above pace on my 8-year average. Wet it is.
-
Not quite as much rain here in Hickory (25.22 inches), but I'm still almost 6.5 inches ahead of pace on my 8-year average. The yard looks awesome, though! =)

Yep, this place is dead, understandably so. Not only is the weather rather mundane, but we have an international crisis occupying most people's attention. Oh, to have a snowstorm to distract us...

Still light snow. Seems like back end is approaching quickly. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

32.7/32 here at home. Steady light snow. Grass and elevated surfaces are white. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Alright, the snow has begun! A little later than predicted. Very wet, still. Let's see where we go...
-
Light drizzle here in Hickory. <sigh>
-
Yeah, the orientation of the major moisture flow on radar is almost due west to east. And...it has set up to our south.

Dewpoints in the 20s for western half of NC. Surface temps are not below freezing, though, except on the highest peaks.

At least someone's getting the snowstorm of a lifetime... Newfoundland asks for military help

^Wow, Grit. That is so sad.
-
Quite what?

There remains lots of potential in the next several weeks. The 06Z GFS has cool to seasonal temperatures in NC for the entirety of its run following Friday. There is also lots of opportunities for precipitations. The trick is matching the two together. I like our chances.

ASU with 2 wins (count 'em! - UNC & USC) over Power 5 conference schools! What might have been had they not screwed up against GSU last week? Anyway, Go App! Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Same here in Hickory. Amazing lightning show all around. Very vivid CTG lightning strikes between 4:30 - 5:00 PM.

^Those are truly beautiful, eyewall! Thanks so much for sharing. Number 2 is my favorite, and then number 3. I just made that second picture my desktop background. It's beautiful!

Here comes the heat... Ugh.

I'm at Lake Lure this weekend, but watched that radar signature closely. Fortunately, it weakened considerably before it passed over my house. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk
