My house here in Erwin!

Phew

high res video from my weather cam of the snow squall earlier today. White out conditions! Really cranks at the 2:30 mark and onward. Gusts over 20mph. Click here for snow squall video

I hope you just looked outside. full on whiteout conditions!!

These bands are fun. 27 with quarters falling and it's November 10th.

This is a very deep batch of moisture (for NW events) and is more than just your typical NW flow. If the NAM is correct this would bring a few hours of snow across a large portion of the region and not just confined to the NW slopes.

Finally getting into range of high res and the NAM is bringing the goods. This ULL could be fun. Perfect timing right after sunset. And we are COLD COLD.

Not to derail the thread but why did it get shut down? Drama?

Going to be your standard NW event. Doesn't look too meaningful for a lot of folks but hey snow is snow. Warm ground and it'll be falling in the day mostly. I'm just waiting for High-res.

Yes. It's so difficult to find any info regarding events in this area. I dig through this forum a lot to find storms. Too bad it wasn't around before the 2010s.

Icon and euro both really dig the trough and give some nice NW snow to the region. Euro breaks containment with trailing snow showers across NC too. this is random but does anyone remember the November 1,2014 storm? Was it a monster ULL? Someone here showed me a Facebook memory and it looked like Erwin got smoked especially considering it was so early in the season.

I sense the gears of fall slowly turning further to our north. Count your days summer because soon those crisp fall breezes will be pushing you out! EURO brings some nice dews teasingly close to us to open August. Still too early.. Also. Football in a month. Best time of year (September- new years) is loading up!

Here is a Timelapse of the NW showers rolling through today!

Decided to try out Imgur so I don't have to constantly delete photos out of the threads. Here is a short clip of the snow!

Probably closing in on 2" here. 3" looks likely given radar. Rates are even harder now.

It's ripping pretty good as far as NW events are concerned. Probably .5 or .75 inch per hour rates currently. It's 17 here and that NW flow is squeezing out every drop of moisture in the lower levels.

Always crushing it with the real time obs! Ratios will be between 15:1 and 20:1 so the chance of an over performer is higher than normal.

My temp has slowly started to fall from a spike of 36. Downslope winds are relaxing.

Yeah my bad on the terminology there lol.

Woke up to a nice dusting most of which has already melted off. My eggs were always in the ULL basket with this one. That February sun is no joke. 12z suite is fairly tame in regards to the energy coming through tonight maybe a generous 2-3" across the typical NW prone areas with 3-5" on the peaks

Indeed the place where snowflakes go to die appears in full force tomorrow as both the hrrrr and nam have a minor downsloping wind for the valley through the day. I said earlier today don't be shocked when the valley and east is a bare ground going into tmrw evening. It'll be very similar to last event. Except hopefully when the flow backs we get a nice shot of cold NW snow

Areas west of the valley cash in tmrw morning. Don't get frustrated when tmrw the valley and points east struggle with precip and downslope issues. our show comes as the flow backs and that Vort swings through.

Hrrr and nam finally seeing the significance of the ULL passage. In my experience when you see NW events with moisture into the 700mb layer it typically ends up being a pretty significant event. 3km nam has 20-30knt of 850 flow and temps in the teens during these frames. It would stack on quickly.

Yeah that's the only player we can get anything of note from at this point for E and NE regions. The initial precip shield is doomed to the transfer. Maybe a very lucky few get 1-2" Wednesday morning at best.

Yep that's just how it's been the last few winters. If I've been taught anything by the last 3 winters it's just sit back and let it ride. I used to get so spun up about storms and crash out when they inevitably went poof. It's still frustrating for sure but my mindset now is that I'm just a spectator with no control over any of it. Just going to let it ride and enjoy what we do get. Even with the downslope fiasco and the warm nose issues and now this transfer this winter has been exponentially better than the last 2 for my backyard.
