Spring/Summer thread has arrived, thanks Maggie Ace; must mean it is time for some more snow

Like clockwork NAO takes a dive this time of year; we will see if it bounces back or if Buckethead is reporting snow in May for the third consecutive year:

I would say about an inch in East Asheville and a snow shower at the moment.

The snow started in WNC on March 12th 1993, nice anniversary present this year

It seems the typical spring pattern is for the teleconnections to lock in the east coast trough sometime in March or beginning of April.

Noticed it was it was warmer at Sugar Mtn than my backyard this morning.

I bottomed at 10 F IMBY in East Asheville.

Didn't measure but I estimate less than 2 inches IMBY in East Asheville. Have fun in Black Mountain.

That is my recollection as well, albeit my memory is highly questionable LOL. Seemed liked 10 plus years ago NWFS was far more regularly reaching AVL than it has been over the past 10 years. Not sure how you would find data on this.

Don't remember specifically about consecutive weekends but winter of 09/10 was epically snowy.

NWS did a significant revision to the AVL forecast, less snow more of a mix.

Have fun!!

The NWS wind forecast for Asheville; certainly strong enough to be concerning:

Nice scene on top of Sugar Mountain right now with lower cloud deck raking the top: http://www.skisugar.com/cams/

4 to 6 inches is what I think of as ideal, I would rather not lose power and trees with more than that. I had a great time during the blizzard of 93 but I was renting back then LOL.
