ncjoaquin Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 J, I Just got back home from the mall & there is def. A diff. up toward Weaverville. Looks like about 1.5" to the eyeball up here. How far out in Leicester are you? Wind is starting to become a issue up here. Great pics btw! It's good to see some that have white stuff in them. Weverville obs 27.6° WD NNW & gusty. Light Snow. The best way to describe it is looking a map, to the left of 251 on a line between Leicester and Weaverville. Interesting updated forecast. I haven't had a drop of rain, and I feel pretty confident that I won't... I don't think 35 is in my future either. Rain and snow showers likely. Partly sunny, with a high near 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwagner88 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 We got a quick dusting this morning from a very robust snow shower. It's already mostly gone. February sun does that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Just had a few minutes of flakes and sleet! Wow! That little band set up just south of me That bodes well for the rest of winter. At least it got cool enough down here T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 We have snow flurries falling in Hickory, NC with temps in the low 40's. Yeah, I was in a meeting at church this morning when my wife texted me that it was snowing. I ran outside and saw my first two flakes of the year! I didn't see anymore, but she said it was a light snow shower for around five minutes at the house. Too bad that I missed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I got to see a few flurries this morning with temps nose diving today already down into the low 30's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What part of Chattanooga do you live? I have family there and they reported jack squat. Not being cynical about your account of course. Just interested.

Wind is very gusty, Temp is 26.2° It's been quieter here the last couple of hours. I'm hoping we get some good snow showers this afternoon and after the sun goes down.

nchighcountrywx Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 @wxbrad: NWS contemplating Blizzard Warnings for a few counties in the mountians, either way blizzard like conditions today & tonight. #wncwx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreDon Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Some pretty impressive wording from GSP in the afd update! .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 1145 AM...UPPED POPS AND SNOW ACCUMS A LITTLE ALONG THE TENNESSEE LINE. MADISON COUNTY MAY NEED TO BE UPGRADED TO A WINTER STORM WARNING LATER THIS AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE THE WINTER WEATHER PRODUCTS LOOK GOOD. THE UPPER FRENCH BROAD VALLEY...IN PARTICULAR HENDERSON AND BUNCOMBE COUNTIES...WILL BE CLOSE TO HIGH WIND WARNING CRITERIA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS STRONG COLD ADVECTION IS CHANNELED THROUGH THE VALLEY. ATTM I WON/T DO THAT...BUT THE KAVL ASOS IS ALREADY 25G33 KTS WHICH IS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE FOR A SUSTAINED WIND. CLOUD TOPS ARE COOLING ACROSS THE MTNS AS THE STRONG SHORTWAVE APPROACHES. WE MAY ALSO GET SOME SEEDER-FEEDER EFFECTS SHOULD COULD INCREASE SNOWFALL RATES IN THESE AREAS. THE WORDING /BLIZZARD-LIKE CONDITIONS/ WILL BE ADDED TO THE CURRENT WINTER STORM WARNING COUNTIES AS WE ARE GETTING SOME REPORTS FROM THE NRN MTNS OF NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ATTM. I DON/T THINK THOSE CONDITIONS WILL BE WIDESPREAD OR CONTINUOUS ENOUGH TO WARRANT A BLIZZARD WARNING FOR ENTIRE ZONES...HOWEVER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have overlooked, but how much SN do you have on the ground? So happy SOMEONE in the SE is getting snow. good people like yourself deserve it. We can leave loss of power OUT OF THIS though.

In some spots that are more sheltered I have 2". I have not measured multiple spots for a average though. Def. our biggest snow this year so far. Nice to see white ground for a change. I will try to get some pics up later for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAD Addict Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I find it unlikely we'll get the 3-4" being forecast. Still at less than an inch. It's colder than a penguin's a**hole, though...13.9 w/ wind chills around -5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathfinder Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I find it unlikely we'll get the 3-4" being forecast. Still at less than an inch. It's colder than a penguin's a**hole, though...13.9 w/ wind chills around -5. I agree, I don't see the 3 - 4" panning out either. We were out earlier during the heavier squalls, but not enough to add up. The cabin doesn't have a thermometer but it was 17 on the car when we came in. The winds aren't that bad, some gusts now and then but nothing major yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I knew from the start this event would probably disappoint. Usually when we get 3"+ from NW flow events, there's nothing intermittent about the snow squalls. This sun, snow, sun, snow cycle doesn't cut it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
