Really with southern storms thats normal. 

Oh I agree. I just get irritated waiting 

It does make me nervous the amount of downtime we have for the northern counties until everything picks up around 3 am, would like to be able to have something fall this evening. But beggars can't be choosers.

I’ll take the latest Nam and call it a day, done looking at models, let’s have some fun! First year having a 4x4 might  have to test it tonight 

Cold and sunny in Boone, clouds making their way up here quickly.

Headed to the bank to cash in.

SREF up to just under 5 inches for Boone. let's see what the 18z Nam and following models have in store.

Took out two that I felt were outliers, and dropped it to under 4inches. but I'm ok with that.

Getting left behind in Boone so far today, little flurry action but that's been it.

Havent measured at all, but we had a solid break last night, but the heavy rain just started again and I'm sure roads will get bad quick up here in Boone.

GFS still showing light snow for the 15th. Winter never got started, but it'll never die either.

Lot of us upgraded to a medium probability of severe storms today. Let's have some fun and see what happens.

Well. I'll consider that a complete wrap at this point haha. Got an internship - possible job offer- to move to Hilton Head at the end of May, so this may in fact have been my last winter here.

Light sleet fest in Boone. Nothing sticking of course, but can hear the constant tap of it hitting the window.

Offcially moving on from what you can call a winter. Gonna rate this one a solid D+ for us northern mountain folks. bunch of bull **** all winter.

This may come as a shocker, but Boone has novelty flurries and the slightest dusting on the ground.

of course the Nam would show the biggest snow of the season for the northern counties at the exact same time I'm leaving for Florida lol

I am still intrigued with Thursday.  Most recent 12km NAM & 3km is limiting that warm nose at 700mb and could allow some sloppy flakes to fall during heavy precipitation bursts.  Then the 12km has a bit of deformation action on the backside Thursday night.  Still several details need to be resolved and 1-2 degrees here is going to make a huge difference for valley locations.  Continuing to watch soundings.   Elevations above 3500' should see 2"-4".

 

worth leaving Boone Thursday night instead of Early Friday morning for my 7am flight out of Asheville?

Folks in the mid to long term are ready to slap a grade on this winter...I posted the comment below...

 

Just to note-the largest snows we've had in NC occurred in March and April...

March 13, 1993 and April 2-6, 1987

Not ready to stamp a 'grade' on this winter yet...

Eh...for a lot of people unless a miracle happens at this point are done with winter. Granted miracles can happen, but overall the way this winter had been...

Glad you guys down south are having a good one. Besides the amazing heavy snow that fell for 45 minutes yesterday afternoon, we still are having a messed up winter for some reason up here. But hey ya cant win them all lol

Another less than 1 incher in Boone. Sigh

Lol, we started off amazing, and then literally nothing overnight.

Ground went from bare to white in 8 minutes. Not an exaggeration in the time. HEAVY snow.

Yea. Wasting a lot of decent falling snow today. Oh well. See what happens tonight

Little flurries here in foscoe but the sun is still coming and going.

yep, sitting here at the store next to dollar general and it's been on and off flurries.

Yall ever sleep? Really liking the model trends this evening. Going to assume some of the banding is overdone, but some decent rates pop up at times on the Nam and HRRR. Let's do it again!

WHAT. A. NIGHT! absolutely pouring snow last night and early this morning. Temps really killed early accumulations here, but managed around an inch and a half anyway. By far the most fun event to watch.
