2025-2026 Fall/Winter Mountain Thread

I can't tell if there is rain in it, but definitely some flakes falling. Unfortunately, I am at 36 degrees, so I am sure that it won't last. Edit: Mostly rain now -

Good point about the airport location. I have thought that for years! Actually, an excellent point.I have had more than them, but we have definitely not seen as much as you border guys. I used to cash in better on NW flow events, but that has been way lower lately. We are definitely substantially below normal. But, we have had some snow, which beats what a lot of people have had. I have complained some, but for the most part, I will just wait for the next one. Plus, I am a short drive away to see you border guy's snow any time it happens! -
Yesterday's record snow for the date from 1971 when it used to snow more than a half inch. 16.3 inches. Of course, even a half inch is a struggle. YESTERDAY 0.0 16.3 1971 0.0

23.5 this AM. But not to worry, I will be plenty warm enough for rain later on. But not too much rain, lol. Maybe, a tenth of an inch. Maybe. Good luck to you higher elevation guys! I'm always hoping that at least someone in our area gets some snow. -

I'm probably no more than a couple inches above you guys. Even rain has underperformed here lately. But I am for anybody on this board who can cash in. You have to figure anybody on here is probably a snow fan. -
I think you have been fine. You have as much right to your opinion as anybody else.

In fairness to WNCSNOW, he is as excited as anybody when there is something to be excited about. He doesn't necessarily like to look for the positive when it requires a little searching, but he is quite often right because of that. I don't think he is trolling at all. He is just a realist. Realism can be painful around here though, lol. He is a little negative, but he is a good dude and a good poster to have on this board.

One more after dark. It came down fast and heavy. Still falling, but much lighter. 22.5. A great early start to winter. -

Definitely fun for you border guys !!! From GSP, a little snippet: Tight pressure gradient (4-6mb) with ongoing snow and dynamical features aloft will support sporadic blizzard conditions at the highest elevations (>4000`) along the immediate Tennessee border. Soundings from the CAMs are picking up on very shallow instability, which should only increase snowfall rates, especially in the favorable upslope areas in the Smokies, northern Madison County, and the Roan Mountain area. Perhaps an instance of thunder snow can`t be ruled out either, but good luck finding the exact location where this might occur
