Also northern mountains don't sleep on the Sat/Sun system. NAM keeps it interesting.

Here's the clown map. 

I have a trip planned to see family in GA next weekend so you can bet this one is gonna happen.

Pattern looks workable next week. Not the greatest but some potential for sure and way ahead of where we are right now.

18z GFS is soooo close to a good storm for higher elevations next Tuesday. So close. 

 

GFS keeping next Fri/Sat interesting. Looks good for at least some NWF at the least. I'll take anything over the 60+º we've got coming this week. I love warm weather as much as the next guy just... not in January. LOL

Man I feel so bad for ski resorts. They’ve had several good winters so I guess they were bound to have a dud before long. This torch is going to kill snowmaking - unless it’s Beech where they’ve installed machines that can generate snow at 50 degrees. 

They're making a killing right now. Sugar has been sold out and App Ski is doing really well. All the tubing places around have been booked up all week as well.

We've been doing insane business at the store this week as well. I'm pretty much out of hats/gloves. Been crazy. I swear the entire city of Miami is in Boone/Blowing Rock right now.

Made it down to 6. Colder than last night.

Hope you guys had a Merry Christmas!

I'm rooting for you GA/SW NC folks tomorrow. Last snow chance for a couple weeks before we hopefully rerack and try again.

Snowing pretty steady again here in Blowing Rock. Started a couple hours ago on and off and actually falling at a decent clip at times right now.

Bottomed out at -7.8
Currently warmed to a balmy -2.9

Also looks like another half inch or so of snow overnight.

Just hit -6.
Having our biggest wind gusts of the day here at the house.

Haven’t caught you yet, -1.5 so far. 

We're still falling quicker than I had expected. We stalled around -1 for quite a while. Down to -4.4 now and I can hear the wind roaring up above me.

We've made -3.6 and still slowly dropping.

Worth noting I suppose that the HRRR does bring a little more moisture in tonight, mainly for the northern mountains. It's not much but with 25-26:1 ratios it won't take much.

Sheesh. You're gonna catch and pass me here shortly.

We're down to -1.8. Wind seems to be picking back up a bit as well.

-1.5° just south of Boone.

Probably headed for -5 or 6.

Down to -1 now.

I can cross that off my list.

Just hit 0.0°

We've stalled at 1.9-2.4 for the past half hour or so.

Current conditions on Grandfather....

Down to -5.2 and dropping fast! That's 4° in the last ~45 minutes!

Yeah it's fallen off a cliff particularly fast here. Down about 3.5 in the last half hour. Currently 4.8. DP down to 1.5 so we'll probably join you below zero in another hour or two.

THUNDERSNOW!!!!!!!


Video of the 2nd flash. First one was much closer/louder but I wasn't filming yet. Flash at 6s thunder at 16s.
