Absolutely pouring rain over here on the Cumberland plateau at 44 degrees. Whoever gets the shower I just as snow at elevation over there is in for a treat. 

Yeah I've been watching the radar from over there. Looks like some nice returns on the radar.

Crazy, I was 29 to 50 to 42 now. That’s if my station was publishing data all day. 

Yeah these temp inversions and having a legit clipper system is pretty cool. Temp at 42 currently.

Currently 44. Dropped from 50 at 4PM. Light rain here now, but it's definitely at least a snow/rain mix above 4500 ft. Can't see Sheepback Mountain now and the top of Buck is mostly obscured.

Yeah tonight should be real interesting.  I'm surprised the NWS didn't come out with an advisory for any of the mountains...

The latest gfs looks good for a transition from rain to snow then some upslope snow on the back. Even gets Asheville some snow.

Light snow has started at Cataloochee. I actually had a brief sleet shower a bit ago at the house.

What's your temp? I started out at 17 this morning then shot up to 60 now back to 46. A wild day in temps. 

Should at least be an advisory be put out for tonight.

Some of the great winter patterns of E TN are mid-Feb to mid-March.  Got to know when to hold'em, know when to fold'em, know when to walk away, and know when to run.   I am somewhere between hold'em and run!  LOL.  Anyway, storm track looks like a classic Nino end game.  No idea if it verifies, but it could certainly be worse.

 

You are exactly right. This looks like classic NINO in February.  Great post.

I'm up to 27. Only reached 25 for about an hour around 3pm. I guess there's an inversion in progress.

Well I wrote that post and now we've stalled...

Temp dropping pretty quickly tonight with some snow on the ground.  Current temp is 28.

Met's under that light blue dot, and won't be able to post for a while.  

That's what I'm talking about guys! Had a beautiful couple inches this morning when I came home from work. Stuff was cement. 

And still snowing moderately with a temp of 30.

Snow pics from the cement.

Crazy how Buncombe is literally rain then once you get into Haywood at the Top of Buzzards Roost you see the mountains are white and it's snowing. 

Moderate snow and about 2 inches of cement.

Been in south Asheville all night. Been nothing but a rain snow mix there. All snow in Haywood when I left with a heavy dusting at 10 pm. Maybe a quarter of an inch.

Wind is howling, everything coated and 30 degrees.  

Yeah it really picked up in town. 

Speaking of it's snowing in downtown Canton now.

The flow has switched to a more traditional NW flow. You can tell the cloud deck is lowering and moisture is coming down.

Yep temp down to 36. Let the storm move in.

It is but generally the models have cut totals for Buncombe. It's going to be too warm tomorrow for it to stick in the lower elevations like Asheville. Whatever falls after dark will have a better shot at accumulating there. TN border will do great as usual. I'm just trying to see some snow at work Monday

I think honestly the snow doesn't start until dark anyways which will be much better for accumulation.

Wacky pattern coming up. Rare to see ridging this strong in Canada in the winter. Hopefully we all score at some point. 

Yeah this is a highly anomalous pattern coming up. Will be interesting see how thing move around that big high pressure.

Here watching the short range cut totals for Asheville.

Lol now you know the 3k NAM is crap at upslope snow. The 12k and gfs do look good.
