Low of 31.6º this morning. Been enjoying the cool temps. Looks like finally some legitimate rain this weekend- we need some or spring flower season is going to suck.
Hard to argue with how this winter went, although I certainly would've liked to have seen more than 5" at a time. I ended the year with right at 20", pretty solid and right on average. I've seen plenty of below-average winters since moving up here so an average year is a win for me.
That absolutely gorgeous December snow also gives a boost.
Just rolled into Daytona, heading down for the (hopeful) Artemis launch tomorrow. I always, and I mean every single time, forget how miserable the humidity is once you get south of the NC line. Brutal.
Been coming down hard in Blowing Rock since about 10. Good dusting on the grass now and WINDY. Sounds like a jet on our roof at times. Sent from my Pixel 10 Pro using Tapatalk
18z 3km NAM was on board with the light icing across the NW mountains on Monday. 0z running now. Shouldn't be anything significant but a little glaze along the escarpment possible. Big difference to the beautiful weather today.
Naturally I am down in Georgia with snow up there for the third straight trip. Wife measured 3.5" on the board though, solid storm. Headed back up this afternoon hopefully roads are clearer. Sent from my Pixel 10 Pro using Tapatalk
Ha fair point. I'm not sure if Boone really qualifies as having "things" but the map does look pretty spot on for my area of the county at least.
Seven Devils would be a good option- I live in Foscoe just down from it and the upper end towards Hawks Nest does really, really well. The Tynecastle/Banner Elk area as a whole is pretty solid with a pretty big drop-off towards Valle Crucis to the north and Linville to the south.
Obviously Beech is fantastic but the trek up and down can get annoying.
Yeah not bad. Can hear a few gusts up the hill now. Interestingly our power flickered earlier but its been dead calm ever since.
Considering making my annual freeze-my-butt-off trip to Grayson Highlands tomorrow. Always a fun adventure consisting of trying not to freeze while also remaining upright.
Very underwhelming here so far- hopefully we see it pick up soon but currently on 29.7 with a dusting from the first round. Very little precip since then, even the Beech Mt cams look like not much going on besides some clouds.
