  1. Up to 4". You guys in the south mountains are crushing it. Congrats! WV looks very healthy back into TN, should keep going for a while.
  2. We're at 3" here in Foscoe. Coming down at a good clip currently but took a while to get going overnight.
  3. HRRR is handling this pretty well. Should really start cranking between midnight and sunrise.
  4. Dang guys slow down LOL. We're just at a dusting here but finally picking up.
  5. It's currently mostly clear and sprinkling (??) in Blowing Rock. Very weird, the sprinkles not the clear. It feels very humid so maybe it's condensing right above the ground? I saw a couple drops hit my jacket otherwise I'd have dismissed it.' edit: after the drive home definitely a diamond dust kind of situation just with temps in the upper-20s. Was snow on the other end of Schulls Mill over at Foscoe. Sent from my Pixel 10 Pro using Tapatalk
  6. Here's the whole run. Up to nearly a foot for Boone now.
  7. Interestingly nothing in Blowing Rock yet. Reckon it is sticking close to the border for now.
  8. Just heard snow has started in Banner Elk. Here we go....
  9. Kinda lost in all this but there is a very real chance Charleston sets their all time low 500mb heights with this storm. NAM drops to 522dam their current record is 527dam from 12/13/2010.
  10. So... Saturday and Sunday. Got it. LOL The Warning alone has that criteria in it- 4-7" of snow plus sustained 35, gusts to 60. From the AFD That said, conditions will remain hazardous due to the amount of wind that is being forecast. As the storm deepens along the coast expected winds to increase areawide Saturday night into Sunday with wind gusts ranging from 40 mph in the piedmont to as much as 60 mph across the mountain ridges. This will result in considerable blowing and drifting snow. All of the snow that falls will be falling on a layer of ice (the compacted snow and sleet of the previous storm). Due to the lack of friction, all of the new snow will become available to blow with the wind... which means there will be a lot of drifting and roads being inundated from wind swept snow.
  11. Anybody know what Blacksburg's requirements for a Blizzard Warning are? With the wind/rates/white out conditions under the ULL I could see those being reached.
  12. Euro also spitting out some absolutely ridiculous windchills Sunday morning.
  13. I don't know what's going on but this is the second night in a row I've had house-shaking wind roaring down the holler. Wild and weird.
  14. It did an excellent job with the CAD over the weekend. Not sure how that translates but its the best model Canada puts out for sure LOL
  15. 6/10"+ QPF for the northern mountains. If things hold I wouldn't be surprised if the Smokies get smoked (haha) with a couple feet up high.
  16. Yeah it's WINDY here. Some of the strongest surface gusts I've had since Helene in the hole here. It's really hard for wind to hit the surface where we are in the holler but it sure is tonight. Sent from my Pixel 10 Pro using Tapatalk
  17. Couple photos from the store today. The lot looks like all of them in Blowing Rock - a solid sheet of ice. They managed to get some busted up so I could share how thick it is. Sent from my Pixel 10 Pro using Tapatalk
  18. 3.9º for a low at the house this morning. Temperature shot up to 17º by 8AM, though, which was kinda weird.
  19. We saw this song and dance a couple weeks ago. Later phase by the Euro won.
  20. Just dipped to 9.5. About an inch-ish of powder today but white out conditions many times. Store was closed today, not sure about tomorrow. All the parking lots in Blowing Rock are about 1-1.5" of compressed sleet/slush turned into ice. Could ice skate around easier than drive.
  21. The GFS gets a failing grade just for missing precip amounts so badly. Globals weren't even close, which is fascinating to me but oh well. And Hunter, if I see maps floating around FB of this next storm I might lose my mind. SUNSHINE SUNSHINE SUNSHINE I need a break.
  22. Eh, just ignore them. They're the same group of people that would complain if they got more than forecasted. If 15 years of social media weather and retail have taught me anything its that the dumbest people are the loudest.
  23. Fell back to 35°. It's 27 on several stations literally a quarter mile down the hill. Very windy right here in the first couple hundred feet above the wedge. Sent from my Pixel 10 Pro using Tapatalk
  24. You'll get yours with NWFS tonight/tomorrow. Sent from my Pixel 10 Pro using Tapatalk
