Awesome. I might take ya up on that at some point. .

Good catch. Was not supposed to be in till dark down here. .

From GSPAs of 300 AM Sunday: Shortwave energy will carve out a deep troughacross the Northeast to Mid-Atlantic Wednesday into Thursday,which will bring a reinforcing dry cold front thru the forecastarea. The front may bring a round of stratocu along the TN borderand breezy conditions across the mountains Wednesday aftn intoWednesday night. This combined with temps still 10-15 deg belownormal may produce wind chills around -5F across the NorthernMountains thru early Thursday morning. Winds should subside andskies become clear Thursday, but highs will remain chilly.The latest guidance seems to be trending toward a distinct southernstream upper low in northwestern Mexico that interacts with adigging trough over the Great Plains. This will likely produce asfc wave near the Texas Coast late Thursday. This wave may advanceeast along/near the Gulf Coast and spread moisture across theSoutheast Friday into Friday night. The latest NBM already haslikely PoPs spreading into the forecast area Friday night. Thisprecip would likely fall into chilly air, which depending on thethermal profiles, may result in freezing rain, snow, or a wintrymix for our area. The 00z GFS shows mostly a RA/SN event, withaccumulating snow across nearly the entire forecast area Fridayaftn thru Friday night. The 00z ECMWF has trended toward the GFS,but is still more of a wintry mix setup with a warm nose punchinginto the area. For what it`s worth, the Canadian keeps the systemsuppressed and is mostly dry for our area. A little over a majorityof the ensemble members have measurable precip Friday-Friday night,with the mean sfc temps below freezing. So confidence is increasingon some type of wintry event late Friday or Saturday. PoPs wereheld in the chance range with a rain/snow fcst for now due to somuch uncertainty. This system will definitely bear watching.

Yup. Micro climate time .

Just meet round and the slop we can sort out… maybe .

A Warning for Watauga, Ashe and Wilkes.

I love that area! Where did yall access at AT? Great time I bet!

I would gladly take that strip of snow in the foothills .

If it Snows Bucket is getting in on the action.

No doubt. Have to fire up the SPC maps looking at the 925 level. That is the biggest pay off or loss of. Go big or go home.

So you saying we have to wait... I agree completely. But I hate waiting. LOL

And with a bomb the timing will need to be good for us to cash in. Might be all or nothing. Overrunning would be different .

Just not sure at this point. This run of the GFS paints a sharp cut off into the foothills, which is normal. Still lots of time to go.

18.9 for a low this morning. What ever snow came down yesterday ( not here ) should have some staying power.

That’s a cold look for sure. .

Awesome! Lived in Boone for three years while at app ! Best three years ever! I saw some videos of the roads around the area. Looked rough. .

Done and done! Let’s roll on to 2025! .

Let’s start this year off with a banger! .

And anyone would not take a light snow event is lying to oneself.

great pic man. Thanks for sharing.

It looked like it had nothing to do with the low in the SW also. Just got pinched off. I would take this look seeing how it was all snow.

I saw three yes three flakes. LOL

I bet flurries are breaking out around lake lure to my nw. You can see the clouds off in the distance from my house. .

Such a nice afternoon! Super windy and cold. .

Folks would take this and run for sure.
