  1. My thermometer said 2 degrees when I got up at 730 this morning. Haven't been out side yet, but the wind is still blowing pretty good. I'm liking how the models are trending for us up here.
  2. We have been getting steady light snow here all day. I might have .75" on my back balcony. Down to 7 degrees.
  3. I've been listening to this met's analysis for a little bit. He has some interesting takes on things.
  4. I hope that northern most dark purple death blow is 100% accurate. I'll take it.
  5. I had to go to Johnson City for a doc appointment and they said half the patients didn't show up today because of "the storm" hahaah. It flurried the whole way there and back. It was a mess getting up the mountain from Banner Elk when I got back around 5.
  6. It's down to 9 degrees already here at the Beech and blowing pretty good already. Wind chills are gonna be a bit chilly. I'm ready for Fri-Sat!
  7. Let me know if you're ever up this way. I'd love to meet you and others on here.
  8. Met, where is this? Its amazing and beautiful. I'd love to join on a hike sometime if you're near Avery/Watauga area!
  9. I hope the roads clear up tomorrow by mid morning. I've got to go to Johnson City and 194 can get pretty iffy from Banner Elk over to Newland.
  10. I moved here from the NC coast and had a generator there. I bought a condo up here, so I didn't think I'd have the space or ability to have one if needed. I do have a kerosene heater, which I got after the storm for these situations, so I might fire it up.
  11. Geez. Power is flashing on and off now. Down to 13 degrees. Wouldn't be too fun to be in the dark very long with these temps.
  12. I can't believe how fast the temps dropped here at Beech today. Went from around 45 or so to the 20s in no time. The wind is howling up here. Stay safe everyone!
  13. Are you down the mountain some near the ski resort entrance? I'm up at the top behind Brick Oven
  14. It's beautiful up here on Beech. Gusty wins and who knows how much snow. Everything is white and coming down nicely.
  15. If he is is getting wet at 6 ft surge, then he needs to get the hell out of the way.
  16. Yes, Ive seen others post that records have been broken in some areas, but not sure where. My friend told me Roan Mountain is being evacuated
  17. It's pretty hairy over here too. I don't have a way to take any wind speed readings, but my gut says over 80 at least.
  18. That dude has some sort of hormonal regulation problems combined with massive caffeine intake and tachycardia during his live streams.
  19. I think they've been chasing crack instead of hurricanes
  20. Oh I know. I just like to go down with a positive attitude.....
  21. Thanks for the reassurance from you and Jburns and met. I've ridden out many hurricanes, but this is my first here so please pardon my nervousness lol. I don't mean to sound like a baby, although I'm probably being one lol
  22. Thanks for the info! My fear, as Boone pointed out below, is that it's too late and now it's dark trying to come down the mountains. I would have not come home today but I HAD to get here to take care of some things and now I feel like I'm stuck but want to play it safe at my brother's house.
