SREF plumes took a tumble for Boone. Meh.

Heh, I'm having a rum and coke right now.  Funny how we forget that nearly every storm is like this.

Difference being, this one is 50/50 for the mountains with some of the short term models pushing everything south, which is a bit more rare.

Jesus, happy hour isn't starting well.

I'm gonna completely disregard the Euro and 21z rap and let it bite me here in a few hours. Don't believe it at all.

I’d say 09z is out. On the road currently so haven’t had the chance to look. 

09z is the latest as of a few minutes ago.

Nam slams me. I'll take it, except for the fact I'll be in Johnson city tomorrow night so I'll miss the biggest part lol

SREF plumes for Boone are now at a mean of over 5 inches. 9 members over 8 inches with 4 over a foot which is interesting.

I can actually see what color my truck is for the first time in a week so I’m assuming it only rained here as well last night. Man, I was honestly surprised to see what the models were showing this morning, put a smile on my face for sure, and considering it’s tomorrow, I like our chances.

Don't know why I'm still looking at SREF plumes, but an average of 4 inches with 5 members over 8 inches is nothing to sneeze at.

All of my chips are on the table for the next 2-3 weeks, after that I'm out. Let's make this pattern count for what we are seeing so far.

GFS looks good, one caveat is the thermal profile is warmer everywhere than the NAM.

Yessir! Nice NWF too. 

Precip max over SE Ashe? we toss.

@snowbird1230  ,, now we just gotta get you to take pics in landscape mode so I can save them as my desktop background.  jk, amazing pics!!!

Still not much snow in Boone, but the wind made it look like a snowstorm outside and I get an extra hour of sleep before work, no complaints.

This will be a bust for Boone unless something happens. HRRR and other modeling keeps drying up when we haven't had anything but light flurries pretty much all day. try again next week for the northern counties.

What dealership? Ill be in the market (truck) 6 months. Got one foot in already. 

The Chevy/GMC store. 
 

watching the flurries amount to nothing, I get the rates will pick up later, but this definitely isn’t the “big one” for up here, and thts ok. More excited about the next week anyway.

Let 'er fly! Finally picking up at the dealership in Boone (someone come buy, it's a slow day lol)

Not a flake in Boone.

Snowing outside of wilkesboro at 32 degrees

Are the northern counties not in a good spot for this setup?  RNK seems to be talking only a few inches for Beech and the GSP map looks to agree.  

No, the trajectory isn’t anywhere near as good for us northern county folks like it is down to the SW

I am wondering if a Boone trip is in order tomorrow for the upslope.

Go south. Boone won’t get near as much as places to the west of Asheville. 

Lucked out in Boone. Barely even had sleet this morning. Solid 5 inches. In Greensboro for today but excited to get home tonight for round 2

All snow in Boone so far though there may be light sleet falling now, but very light.

As everyone else has said, it’s “puking” snow. 
 
uhm... don’t think roads are treated at all, that’ll be interesting.

They're not. It's great.

Already got the chains in the truck to pull people out. I’m expecting the roads to get bad since the sun went down already
