Guess it’s a sign I’m getting older but I think I’m looking forward to spring? Green grass, 60s/low 70s. Unfortunately, I know we will have that for a week before the 90s wanna show up.

Yeah. Sure was nice yesterday. Just want a good spring with spring type weather. 

.72 here. Was hoping for more but we'll take it 

around .85" so far. Nice soaking rain. 

12z ICON verbatim is a major winter storm I40-I85 north into VA on Sat-Sun. There's also an area of freezing rain in there too, just south of I40.

Brutal wind here gusting to 50+. Power has been off and on a few times already 

wow. Highest gust down here was only 28 over night. 

We’ll be back! The struggle to adjust to this new era has been real but they’re starting to make winning moves again.

Schools (Rutherford) just called a two hour delay. lol

Could have done this yesterday. I had a bus driver cranking at 5:05am. LOL

 

School just called for the day. I drove around in the mountain area of the county and roads are packed. 

Radar looks good up north for yall. 

Enjoy

Looks like those 2 bands have been above you and below you and you were in the middle most of the night. Watching that one to west now trying to drift back your way.

Solid coating in Forest City. Looks like about 0.5 inch in Sandy Mush. 

 

Crazy! Zero here in Bostic. I did see some flying just now.

We’ve had a heavy band come through

that dropped close to 1/2 in already. 

Wow!

Our school system ran a regular day today. I’ve spent about five hours Monday and Tuesday driving all the country roads in my district. Monday was brutal but yesterday most of them have been scraped. Didn’t have many issues this morning. But could’ve been worse.

My little cheap indoor-outdoor system which always seems to read high showed 7 degrees this morning.   Most nearby stations were 6 degrees or less.  Saw one at -1 degrees right close to the river.

Coldest morning I'd say since 2014 unless I'm forgetting some other time.

I bought a ambient station back in 2020. Best investment ever for MBY. 

Upgraded to in 2024 to a newer model. 

The price point for Ambient is not steep.

That last picture is awesome! WNC is the best place. 

Thanks for hiking and sharing. 

5.7" which is the lowest so far in the last many years. 

28.4 and cold ! Sledding is great!
High should be around 33 .


.

I gave the last one  a B (I think) this was is a solid A. All powder with 12 hours of snow. Low vis for about 5 hours yesterday. 

Getting to use my big pasture hill today for sledding might turn it into an A+. 

Cheers

I'm going to attempt to clear the driveway enough to get one vehicle out today. It looks like the Town of Maggie Valley plowed the road leading up to the house early this morning. Those little blessings of being the last house within the Town limits I suppose.

So it looks like a minor event may be possible Tuesday night into Wednesday. We'll see about that potential the next 24 to 48 hours. I've heard rumors that NCDOT is running out of salt. I hope it just a rumor locally for our Mountain Region!

Down the mountain I heard Cleveland County was almost out completely.  

Wish my picture would show the details of the moon. So clear!
