The Alchemist

Yea, first time I ever went cross country skiing was on the Parkway starting at the Hwy 276 intersection in May 1992.  Winter is far from over.

My weather attention the balance of the week is how closely forecast temps track.  

I'll be especially interested to see if the weekend's temps verify.  

This Saturday's show is going to be cold!!!

Red 3 checking in....

Honestly not the worst idea. We do have a pretty deep crew at this point lol. I know I’m missing a few, but what say ye @wncsnow@calculus1@strongwxnc@westmc9th

Would Saluda fit into that??   Though I like living vicariously through some of the folks up north of Asheville....

I was over at a friends house picking up some rough sawn hardwood and he had this over in a corner.... is this where Buger got his handle from??  It was one of those "Where have I seen that before" moments...

Couldn't make it in to work (ICC) I-26 is flooding at the bottom of the mountain near the Columbus NC exit. Took Hwy 176 back home to Saluda and can't believe how much water is on the road and how fast the waterfalls are running.  This is like a tropical system getting caught in the southern Apps.  

Reports of a few sleet pellets mixing in down in Columbus NC…. At 47*. Seemed strange but mom has a gas fireplace with a metal flue and said she could hear it quite clearly…. She could see a few pellets bouncing on the deck…

New mountain thread has been created, Can a mod please pin it?  sorry so late, internet was down...

Let's hope I bring the Mojo to this... after all, back on March 11th 1993 I wanted snow for my birthday... and we all know how that worked out!!

I’m not well known around here, but I’ll do it tomorrow at noon if everyone’s ok with it…

Really rocking tonight down here in Polk county!!! Been a while since I heard thunder like this…

Edit… looks like Rutherford county is about to get slammed as the line moves north from SC

Drove back from Charlotte tonight. I 85 and 74… Shelby got hammered with that storm… I’ve not seen that much lightning from a storm in a long time…. A few times had to pull over as there was so much rain flooding the road you couldn’t see the lines to tell what lane you were in…

Wouldn’t it be hilarious if the NAM was sniffing something out for Easter after the winter we just had…

You would have to be a mad man to bet against a cutter this year

You get that roof covered ?

Light mixed sleet and rain here in Saluda NC 43/18

I'm probably the only one on this board not wishing for snow this weekend...  and I'm a  , that's the back half, they are starting to tear off the front half now...

At 72

 

A Lot of snow can fall in that 12 hour window you just posted...  I can see me throwing shingle bundles off the roof tomorrow to lighten the load... The guy is coming tomorrow so hopefully they can shingle the back of the house...  it's been. few years but I know a good crew with roofing guns can drop drip edge and 10 square of shingles in a day...

Not sure which one you are looking for but this is through 54...

 

Thanks, I was able to look at the globals then the site went down...  Heard a lot of talk comparing this to 3/2009...  we had 12.5" here in Saluda NC.  Really wet and heavy...  I'm having my roof replaced and the paper is down but not the shingles...   I am slightly concerned with roof weight if we'd see a repeat of 2009 when there are 60 bundles of singles up there.  

TT is down for maintenance until 7pm...  anybody got a NAM map they can post??  I know it's 60+ hours out but just curious about position of ULL at 12z on Sunday in reference to the euro...

Was completely clear when I arrived here at ICC Spindale at 8:30 this morning, and absolutely dead calm. Winds are picking up and I’m starting to see the light fluffy clouds drift over now. Currently 89 here in Spindale, cannot wait for that front to get through the area.

Interesting watching the wrap around moisture working it’s way south though Ohio,Kentucky, Tennessee this morning. Looks like down here in Saluda forecast low is 47° tomorrow morning. Think any flakes will be flying in the border counties tonight?
