6z GFS is close to giving us a back to backer. Not there yet though.

Don't look to GSP to increase your hope: Key Messages: 1) Breezy NW Winds Continue through Monday, Mainly Across the Mountains 2) Trending Drier Next Week 3) An Arctic Airmass Will Bring Very Cold Temperatures and Dangerous Wind Chills Next Week, Especially Across the Mountains Outside of the potential for some lingering NW flow snow showers along the NC/TN border Sunday night into early Monday morning. Breezy NW winds will continue through Monday before gradually tapering off Monday night. Models have been trending drier regarding any precip chances through Thursday. However, models are still remain inconsistent run to run so confidence on any potential for snow remains very low. Thus, capped PoPs to slight chance along/south of I-85 Tuesday into Tuesday night for now and lowered them compared to the previous update based on the latest model guidance. Outside of the Canadian, the GFS and ECMWF agree that dry conditions will linger through Thursday

So, Sunday is a possibility, though it looks like I may get downsloped on that one. Canadian hammers us on Wed. Icon not bad next Wed. GFS with a little something on Friday. Surely, we can score sometime next week.

The mother of cold for January in Asheville was in 77 averaging 24.8, almost 13 degrees below normal.

Made it to 12.2. That is my coldest so far this season.

I went for a long walk. A legit 2 inches on the road. The grass is probably an inch or less. Still getting NW flow. You elevation guys must be getting hammered. Edited to add, Met beat me to it with his pictures. Edited to add, more great pictures!!!

Great pictures!!

Exactly! We will still have chances.

Ha! Ha! Very true!

Nice!! You guys reeled it in.

Not an exact measurement, but have around 1.5 to 2 inches. Not bad. Better than anything since January 2022, so I will take it!

It's snowing harder now than it did all day. Weather is crazy.

Back to snow here and snowing pretty good. Probably won't last, but nice to see.

This definitely is the most sleet I can remember in a while. Just like Met and Franklin said, the sleet is insane. Sleet takes longer to melt too.

I agree!! It was very pretty. It was not a record breaker, but it was snow and it was pretty!!! Plus, it beats the heck out of no snow and 60 degrees.

Agree on the roads. Not a ton of snow, but the sleet has piled up on the roads big time.

Yep. I have seen it wrong many times, but not this time.

So far, NWS was correct and the downsloping held true. I'm looking at .7 inches of snow. I'm not sure I will make it to an inch. Just never could get it going. Maybe there will be a burst later tonight. Otherwise, on to the next one. It looks like maybe there will be other chances. Congrats to all of those that really cashed in. I'm not complaining though. I'm happy to have some chances this winter! Edited to add, my predominant precip has been sleet for a while.

Graham County at the far western end of the state.

Just can't keep it going. I have bursts of glory, then back to the small flakes.

Not reached that point yet. Hopefully, soon.

Agreed! Finally, some real snow. This should accumulate better than what I've had.

Those long awaited returns from Tennessee are closing in fast. Let's see what they can do.

Ramping up here also. Not all fat flakes, but there are some snowballs mixed in. I'm thinking that will be the predominant kind soon.

Nice!! I'm already getting some bigger flakes. Temp still hanging at 27.5.
