Respectfully - you can’t make a realistic climate change argument by comparing the Sierra’s to our region. 
 

the bottom line is that our oceans are scorching. Atlantic sea surface temps are on pace with JUNE in February. Our poor pacific pattern is likely caused by how much warmth the basin is holding as well. Snowfall in the south has been trending downward the past 20 years and extreme temps are trending up. This isn’t a “bad spell,” this is climatology. So yes, I can make reasonable assumptions based on climatological facts.

How is the pacific looking? Places like Seattle and Portland,  for example have done very well the last few years. Just because the trough sets up on the west coast doesn't equal climate change.

Where is Soco?  Is it near Waterrock Knob west of Waynesville?  How much land up there is above 5000 ft?  You think it would be the most affordable, high probability snow terrain in NW NC?  

It's between Maggie and cherokee.  Not sure on the land but there are some houses on the Haywood County side above 5k. Once you cross into Jackson you're on the reservation and can't own land there unless you're cherokee.  Also, you're not far from the casino and the ski slope. Great rental potential!

I’m kinda of tied up in Macon right now with work. I know there’s some land above rainbow springs available above 4k. 

Me too until my youngest is out of school.  Even rainbow springs is subject to rain and mixing.  The warm nose is too prevalent this side of the balsams

I’m looking at a tract of land that ranges 3100-3500 here in Macon. But will be 3-4 years before I can afford to build.

If I stayed in NC I would prefer soco at 5k or Madison County

Best games to watch! Do you remember the game a few years ago where the wind blew the goalposts over?

Can't believe they took the Buffalo Pittsburgh game away from us tomorrow!

12z euro was a good run!

Gfs seems to be keying in more on the following wave.

Until the Euro gets on board with the Tuesday system I'm skeptical. I've seen plenty of times where the Euro lost a storm and was on its own and then watched as everything else caved...

Which run? Different solution every 6 hours!

Winds are ripping now

Yeah the wind has already started gusting here.

Same here! Heading to the sportsbook to make sure I don't miss the game 

Worried about power outages with the forecasted wind

WWBB to Eastern then here, so 20+ years  

 

EDIT: Eastern came from WWBB and AMWX from Eastern. It's been a crazy ride and I can't believe that we've survived all these years. I've made so many friends here that have become family and have had some amazing memories   

Seems like yesterday!

Merry Christmas! The prince brought us a flood watch

I'll have to take a ride over soco tomorrow and get some pics

I like dry! Especially in fall

Good Friday afternoon, mountain-folk.

I can, today, finally feel like I have some legitimacy posting in this sub-forum.  My wife and I, although still firmly homesteaded in the barely-above-sea level, relative flatness of western Bibb County, Georgia, bought a little piece of altitudinal heaven yesterday. 

We closed on a little house outside of Highlands, down hwy 106 towards Scaly Mountain.  Sits at 3,717ft, as best I can tell. 

Looking forward to hanging out there and will be setting up new weather station when my Starlink finally arrives.

 

Congratulations! How far outside of highlands? You're not too far from my house
