Made it to 3.6 this morning which froze up the pipes unfortunately. Did make it out for a cold hike yesterday. Went to Bailey Falls near Erwin, TN. Easily the most dangerous, crazy hike I've done to date but totally worth it.
Definitely Beech and Roan. Beech is easier to access since they keep it plowed for skiers. Roan will probably pull over a foot this weekend. Zionville on the west end of the county does pretty good as well if you wanna avoid the masses on the ski mountain.
You can tell who bothers plowing. Blowing Rock inside city limits is always a mess. Lived there for a couple years when I first moved up here and they had no clue how to handle the roads.
Temp has stalled at 34.9 at the house. Wife said it is rate dependent. Either moderate snow or drizzle. HRRR had me near 40 this afternoon so we'll see but so far so good.
Good to get that Erwin report. A buddy and I are looking at hitting some waterfalls out there tomorrow (namely Margaret and Bailey) so was hoping they were gonna stay snow.
Temp holding steady around 30.9/31.1 here. DPs rising a bit with the moderate snow but still coming down good. Rates alone should help keep us snow looking downstream.
We've actually dropped to 30.5. 28 here at the store in Blowing Rock. HRRR way off... so far. Best rates of the season so far as well. Very pretty snow.
NW mountains are in a weird spot. I have no real idea what to expect which is strange this close to go time. Off work Tuesday so I need it to do something good lol.
