Glancing at the Euro soundings verbatim it is very, very close to staying all snow in the mountains on Monday. I would imagine the warm nose wins (it almost always does) but it is very close.

I wondered when the cold front was gonna get here. Barely any wind in Blowing Rock all day but its breezy here at the house now. 

NAM looks solid overnight. Should hit the high elevations decent.

GFS on a bit of an island with the CAD event Monday but plenty of time for that to change up. I'm scheduled to be working in Asheville so you can bet on a sleet/ZR storm down there at least.

Until we can get one of these bigger things under 240 hours I'll believe it when I see it.

Remember the extended for the end of December was an extreme torch and that didn't work out. No reason to believe the opposite will be true 2 weeks from now.

Sitting quite literally at the top of the wedge right now. 43 degrees a quarter mile downhill from me. 51 and windy here imby.

12z GFS real real close to a mountain whopper next week. That time frame has been showing potential for a bit now.

3/4" here overnight. Still a bit of light stuff falling this morning. Stuck to absolutely everything, quite pretty.

I think we got about 5 raindrops out of this somehow.

Really like the look of Friday night. Too bad I gotta work Saturday lol

Up at Grayson Highlands. Was hoping for some good rime ice but while it is 25 and ridiculously windy not much to report in the way of snow/time ice. A good 4-6" of needle ice in spots though lol

Was 52 at 9:30. Currently 38 with snow mixing in in Blowing Rock.

January 2022 not come close? It did for us. 

6 years ago today. Haven't seen an event with half this total since. I've had 2 winters not even see a season total this high.

Our supposedly torch isn't looking so torchy anymore...

Wednesday night looking interesting with the frontal passage. NAM has an almost convective look to it.

I hope so, I'm off Thursday so I can actually enjoy it lol. Haven't had a snowy day off yet.

We definitely got downsloped this time. Not surprising, we do better here with a more northerly component.

1.5" though.

Not sure what MRX is doing but they have us at a 20% chance of snow overnight. They completely missed last night and this morning, though.

Moisture plume looks decent out around Bowling Green.

Hasn't stopped here yet. This was the scene when I got to the store this morning.

No additional accumulation overnight but it started absolutely ripping here about 20 minutes ago.

Solid half inch or more so far. Roads around Boone are a mess.

Had a little dusting this morning. Actually flurried/flizzarded on and off most of the morning in Blowing Rock. Nice day. Wind is rocking now.

 idk if everyone is aware but when the parkway is closed for driving in these events, it’s open for recreation by foot or skis.

So for some reason they've decided this isn't the case for the time being. Park Service announced the other day that it is closed to all recreation when the gates are shut due to potential for downed trees and unstable ground. I think its a bit of an overreaction but that's what they've decided to do for now. Honestly a little tired of how easily public lands are getting closed since the pandemic. 

But yeah, most businesses saw at least a 70-80% drop in sales in October. We would love the tourism.

Long range still looking good. 12z GFS/Euro both very cold in the extended. Lots of small NW flow events sprinkled in.

Fingers crossed for a big dog around the 5-12th.

3.5"! Very nice event for late November.

I've successfully beat the total of winter of 22/23 before December 1st.

Up to an inch already and 28°.
Dead calm here in the holler. Beautiful night.

Moderate snow now. Everything is turning white!
