Nice Don! Well we hit the jackpot at home last night and this morning. We have ended up with 5.5 inches of snow and still pouring as I type. Beautiful snow this morning but roads are very slick. Current temp is 17 degrees. I have heard more towards the TN/NC boarder they have close to a foot. May have to inspect that later today.

you have done much better than the rest of us. With the inch we picked up yesterday I have managed to nickel and dime my way to 6 inches so far. What is your total now for the year?

Wish I had the funds to get up there. The guns are off at sugar and the summit cam is beautiful. You can see the natural snow falling and skiers in true powder. Right at a 100 inch base in spots and its March 3 rd. you will not get better conditions in March than what they have right now. Heck you'd be hard pressed in the dead of winter to beat the current conditions. Congrats to everyone and fill free to post pics

National weather service never said that...never made it beyond a winter weather advisory. Who said 20+?

You did...

I can see the 12-24" for prime NW flow areas...but I think the bigger story will be for everyone else off the mountains...and that will be dry cold. 

 

NW flow affects fairly few few posters here...maybe 8 at best?

Well up my way Beech Mountain hit double digit totals early yesterday morning not sure how much now it was still going all day.

 

 

y did u bring this back up dude

 

:yikes:<_<

 

 

Wilkesborodude, if you put the numbers out there, you have to be willing to take the credit and/or the scorn, whichever is appropriate.  If you are going to claim "victory" in accumulation forecasting from some of your earlier "maps" (and, I do realize that map is used quite loosely in this case :P ), then you're going to have to also own up to your "defeats."

 

MariettaWx called you on the carpet for your printed words and justly so.

Not sure if he was exactly calling for the Tennessee upslope areas, but LeConte had 16 inches of upslope Thu-Sat. So that easily hit his 12-24" window. I would guess LeConte pulls in 10+ more by Thursday.
