  1. There are some snow blowers running at the top of Cataloochee right now.
  2. I may have posted at least one of these inversion photos before. You can barely see it but the first photo shows what I believe is a bit of an energetic heat plume from the Skyland plant breaking through the inversion layer. The second photo, seems to include moisture from the French Broad River:
  3. That would be far superior to getting the flip to cold at the beginning of April like this past one.
  4. Glad Zeta from where I am sitting was not remotely as bad as Ivan or Opal and despite the very active season the mountains in general have not had the horrible tropical season that was in 2004. Hopefully done with the tropics but not counting on it (something brewing out there now); looking forward to seeing some snow. Happy Halloween
  5. Just had the strongest gust so far; still think it was below 40 mph
  6. Holy cow! I still don't think I have topped 30 mph IMBY and hope it stays that way.
  7. So far the wind has not been bad down here in the valley (famous last words); fortunately the rain is starting to slack off. About 3.3" IMBY.
  8. I don't like the sound of that (yes, bad humor)
  9. I am guessing gusts around 25 mph so not looking good for the power when it increases. Per Duke Energy there is an outage relatively close to me which I am sure is related to the power blinking I was experiencing.
  10. Power blinking and about 2" of rain so far including yesterday. Hope the trees stay off of everyone's homes.
  11. Well, we did have something like that in March 1993
  12. Yea, a little too interesting; how about nice 6 or 7 inch snowstorm instead. We will see what happens...definitely a middle of the night alarm clock will be set to get up and check the weather.
  13. I remember attempting to sleep through Opal; that was a lost cause. Recall hearing the wind gusts approaching like a freight train. Wife and I sat on the porch and watched the trees whip back and forth during Ivan.
  14. Once again getting rain well out ahead of the main event. Just took the leaf blower to my very steep and potentially slick driveway; trying to beat the rain but ended up doing half of it while getting rained on. Was not expecting it this early. Probably not getting much sleep tonight.
  15. Given the current NHC track I was concerned about the wind around here. We would have had a chance to actually get a bit of a dry spell this Fall if it were not for the tropics; at least it keeps fire season in check. Those poor folks on the Gulf coast have been hammered; at least this one will be a little east of the last two in the region.
  16. I know it isn't popular in these parts but especially after staying winter until mid-May I don't mind this bit of Indian summer. This Fall has been great compared to the scorch fest last year!
  17. Thanks for sharing the photos; absolutely perfect weather to be checking out the leaves.
  18. Same IMBY; it is glorious to have a stretch of cool, DRY, sunny weather; enjoy it everyone! Plan to get out for some camping in the near future.
  19. Wow that is a bit chilly, sun came out down here in the low lands of the French Broad valley; made it to 68 F IMBY. Very nice day and glad not to be in the roaster like last year.
