Met1985 Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 Good stuff guys. I will post some pics tomorrow. My youngest son came down with the flu and it has been a rough go ever since Wed morning came around. We did ok with this event. Only picked up about 3 inches and that puts our season total to 31.5 inches. Not bad and there still is winter left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesboroDude Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Snow cover going to take a huge beating this week...I can see why ski resorts are closing down for winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Looks like we see more snow tonight into tomorrow. Never can write off seeing snow in the mountains until about mid May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a base of 40-80" 2 days of "warm" weather isn't going to close them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franklin NCwx Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 More mtn snow on the way Thursday night. High elevations should pick up a couple inches near the border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonGA Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Snow cover going to take a huge beating this week...I can see why ski resorts are closing down for winter. They rarely shut down for lack of snow. Mostly it is for lack of business as winter winds down and people start doing other outdoor activities.

K4CF Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 None here in Weaverville but the sky is clouding. Good morning Don...nice snow squall here in Spruce Pine...quarter mile visibility...will lay if it keeps this up I think you will see some action briefly because it is rare for the upslope to break containment and hit Spruce Pine. I live closer to the state line and reports are that it is laying on the roads there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not today, then maybe Thursday evening/night.if you can I strongly suggest you head west on 19 through maggie valley towards Cherokee. You will come up to soco gap at the entrance to the parkway. You will see a few inches on the ground there. Its at an elevation of 4500ft and the road crews do a good job so you will not need 4wheel drive .Friday morning will be the best time.

Kilgore Trout Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 As is usual for these events, I wouldn't have a clue that this was happening if not for your posts. Lots of blue sky in downtown Asheville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the Midwest radar looks good right now...Looks like a better shot for the central mtns...Don, Met1985, Franklin, etc? what you guys thinking for tonight?
