EmersonGA Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Walking back from breakfast in Gatlinburg you can see the snowline. The hills toward Ober are frosted white. Leconte is buried in the clouds but the Bullhead appeared for a minute and it was beautifully white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to wunderground.com and look at their "WunderMap" and add the "WebCam" overlay and you will see a webcam in that area.

Marion_NC_WX Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Pleasant Gardens shout-out... i think i'm going ahead and calling off school for tomorrow... Even though I'm scheduled to sub tomorrow, I won't object to the motion to call off school tomorrow. The temp is slowly rising here, I'm guessing we may see some clearing by noon at the latest. The DOT will probably have about a 4-6 hour window from late morning till sunset where they may get some assistance from mother nature. After that, with the temps crashing, I'm expecting secondary roads to be a mess by morning and maybe some of the primary routes depending on just how much work gets done.

FoothillsNC Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Roughly one inch of heavy wet snow here. Went to bed about an hour and a half ago with absolutely nothing on the ground, so it's coming down at a pretty good clip, with some sleet mixing in occasionally. Sitting right at 32F. At this rate, if it keeps doing what it is right now, I'll see some three inches (maybe more) on the ground come daylight. All snow now and heavy. I've got to hand out major Kudos to Robert for calling this from several days ago. I really thought we weren't gonna be quite cold enough... I'm sure he will be happy to know his forecast seems to be right on track Just woke up. Now an inch of snow is on the ground. Booyah! I would like to thank Foothills for mentioning this setup and its possibility a few days ago! 2 inches and now light snow in Candler. Kudos to Robert also. I have 3 inches. I'm glad you agree. I always feel like people doubt my measurements. I hope NW flow overperforms. What a great start !!! Morning Fellas, Same reports up towards Weaverville. Woke up about 3:15 to Heavy Sleet. Back to bed & then up at 6:00 to moderate Snow. We have 3 inches of heavy wet snow on the ground. It must have been roaring for the past couple of hours. Gonna be a fun 36hrs. Major props to Foot he really nailed this one. Woke up to a nice surprise here in the Western Foothills. Just measured 3 inches on the back deck with light to moderate snow still falling. 38.5 here, looks like Foothills nailed his call for the mountains :thumbsup: I gotta hand it to Robert... he made me look like a fool with skepticism for snowfall in the French Broad. Still getting some off and on snow-showers here. Our temp has risen above freezing, but there isn't all that much melting going on. Temp: 32.5 degrees. thanks for all the compliments you guys. I'm so glad it snowed there. I think Phil, Tracker and DawsonWx also were excellent in the forecast of this. When the height field shown crashing rapidly 3 days ago , and with almost enough cold air in place to start, then the models began to inch colder, that was a sign to me. Also its great to see the snow even made it to Marion and Lake Lure, great pics ! I didn't see any reports from GA, except Rabun Co. Anyone heard from the NeGa poster? Now, lets see how the part 2 of this system goes. Good luck again . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itunis Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 it changes views regularly...dont like the one that's on now http://www.highcount...a_mountains.htm I suppose you don't know the elevation of the webcam? It has to be 2500' plus... I like looking at the Brasstown Bald webcam as well. The station at 3200' is reporting 33 so the top is probably hovering near freezing. They should do well with wraparound even if they didn't get much from the main event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send some further south as well. Thanks. Thanks! I'm thinking positive thoughts for Atlanta! I think you'll get a nice surprise looking at Alabama right now... thanks for all the compliments you guys. I'm so glad it snowed there.

I sure wish Joe would update us on what's going on at 4K feet...I'm hearing on TV from both Jason Boyer (WLOS) and from other reports that some of the higher ridges had much more mixing due to a skinny warm nose compared to those like Asheville or even me here along the escarpment? Can anybody confirm that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
