    It would be nice to get this setup before March; best of my recollection winter of 2010-2011 was the last time we had the teleconnections set up well during the winter; however, when it ended in February, spring ended up being early and warm in 2011 (based on my unreliable memory). The 2009-2010 winter was epic. Anyway, in the month of April, l I don't need to look at the models. Just glance here and if I see you posting, then I know Dogwood winter is upon us

    Enjoy this coming Wednesday because this may be the only time this happens for the next couple of weeks (if this holds true); NAM agrees: NWS GSP forecast for Avl: Emphasis on "Calm"

    Yes, we are passed due for our annual killing freeze; you would think the plants would know by now that it happens every year

    Guess winter will end up being November and April

    Maybe the teleconnections will keep us from hitting 90 F before the end of April. Took a bicycle ride on he Parkway yesterday; it was packed. Came down the mountain through downtown Asheville; compared to a normal Saturday it was a ghost town. Seeing that really drove home the economic impact of all this. Back at you and everyone with the well wishes.

    My faulty memory recalls quite a few years where the teleconnections get ripe for cold and snow around the beginning of March, of course missing the heart of winter, but at least shots of NWFS continuing to mid-April. Teleconnections are not favorable this year but yes, April is always in play for at least a brief cold shot with some snow. Don't forget Mt. Pisgah in May of 1992

    Glad you found some snow. Did some cycling on a closed section of the Parkway near Asheville, no snow at all on the road; a little snow in the woods on the north facing slopes.

    Can't really expect winter until March and April in this neck of the woods

    Hope everyone enjoyed the snow; below is a photo I took while the wife and I were hiking yesterday.

    I saw that; looks really bad.

    Fun fact, Monterey is about the same latitude as Asheville (per Google Monterey is 0.005 deg North of Asheville).

    Just exceeded 4 inches storm total IMBY. It would be nice to see some snow flakes instead of rain.
  13. Moonhowl
    Sunny and 64 F on Monday is positive or at least if we can't get snow, I'll take it

    It had pretty decent amount of air time; they looped your video 2 or 3 times but yes, they did not give it the peaceful silence it called for
  15. Moonhowl
    Saw your video on the WLOS noon news; very nice

    Always nice to see some flurries at the epicenter of malfunction junction.
  17. Moonhowl
    Made me look; some flakes flying on the East side too.

    The bears were roaming around my neighborhood the other day as well. I have seen them out in January before but don't remember how winter panned out after that.
  19. Moonhowl
    Well,there is always March and April when the teleconnections do their seemingly annual shift to a cold pattern
  20. Moonhowl
    Well, your chances of snow in Durham are about the same as Florida. The good news it is an easy drive to Roxboro

    Sugar Mtn was looking kind of pathetic yesterday afternoon on the webcams and had one slope open. Back open to the top now; I'll be hitting (hopefully not too literally) the slopes later this week for the second time this season.

    They were shutting gates on the Parkway around Asheville this afternoon. Almost ran straight into one on my bicycle.
  23. Moonhowl
    Have a dusting of snow here in town; minor coating on the deck but roads appear fine.
  24. Moonhowl
    Update; Sugar Mountain is open today; wax'm up

    IIRC, fall color in 1993 was outstanding; that has been a few minutes. I have not seen one as good since.
