NAM 3K isn't a bad look for some bonus snow.

Should be some really pretty wet/sticky stuff on top of that. 

Then NWFS on Friday night. If the snow lingers past midnight there's a chance we could have frozen precip every single day this week except this coming Sunday.

Technically currently have ZR at the house. Air temp is 31.8 with light rain.

Wednesday night starting to look interesting.  Euro 18z has an inch for some.  Why not?

Yeah little secondary low popping along the front. Interesting little setup.

Then NWFS over the weekend. I just need it to be nice in Florida if the Artemis II launch goes on schedule.

We've officially got snow flurries falling in Blowing Rock. Little but showing on radar even.

Just straight up light snow now.

Down to 6 already. Air temp falling fast.

We're gonna end with 5" after some compaction this afternoon. Bring on the NWFS overnight- can already hear the wind picking up and we just dropped to 9º.

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.

We're at 3" here in Foscoe. Coming down at a good clip currently but took a while to get going overnight.

Still visible moon here. Dry air.

HRRR is handling this pretty well. Should really start cranking between midnight and sunrise. 

Dang guys slow down LOL. We're just at a dusting here but finally picking up.

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.

I get the Dry Slot

I don't get this map acting basically like a Coastal low does not happen-or is that post 1pm

Here's the whole run. Up to nearly a foot for Boone now.

Interestingly nothing in Blowing Rock yet. Reckon it is sticking close to the border for now.

Just heard snow has started in Banner Elk. Here we go....  

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.

sustained winds or frequent gusts of 35 mph and 1/4 mile visibility or less with snow or blowing snow for 3 hours or longer 

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.

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.

Euro also spitting out some absolutely ridiculous windchills Sunday morning.

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.

RGEM is something else


.

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

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.

Also for the near future we will see a reinforcing shot of cold air and the high elevations may see some flurries tonight. 

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.

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.
