MikeGold Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Nice tnweathernut! I am hearing reports of 6"-8" at wolf and 6" in Mars Hill. Those locations getting as much as they got with the first snow storm. Pretty impressive flow, I don't think it is underperforming with still 24hrs+ of flow left. I suppose it is a matter of what one's original expectations were but considering the length of the event and crazy moisture thickness...it has been a very modest event indeed. Nice to see some higher numbers in the normal spots but how about some love for the Balsams? Looking at the Balsam Webcam...it appears only 1" has fallen if that. http://brpwebcams.org/cam/5/1 I'm sure the local higher elevations have done considerably better but still! Looking at the SAT...suggests the clouds are breaking up a bit east of the TN line so not very hopeful for the rest of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDowell_Weather Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 It's slacked off a little can finally see the road again still heavy snow and I'm very conservative on how hard its snowing my moderate snow is heavy to most people. I think a winter storm warning is needs for the highlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxBlue Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I'm currently taking mesoscale class and we had a discussion on NW flow events so let me sums up the event... Low level moisture and instability look amazing. Temps aloft are cold enough for the production of good snow at high ratio. The main problem for French Broad Valley is the pressure gradient isn't tight enough because the Hatteras low is not strong enough. Winds aren't strong enough to power the snow through mountains into downtown Asheville. Vertical wind shear is also lacking for the formation of deep snow bands strong enough to punch through mountains into the valley. Bottomline: we came close to having a good event in Asheville, but no cigar due to Hatteras low not being strong enough. NW mountains are in for an amazing event, however. I might drive up to Mars Hill later to check things out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirNelson39 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Congrats to the folks getting decent snow. Snow showers, sun, snow showers, sun. Won't get any additional accumulations at this rate.

AirNelson39 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I haven't seen any sun today.If you're in boone you must not be looking outside often. We may not have full blown direct sun but the amount it's been coming through today has and will continue to wreck havoc on totals.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The SAT shows a classic standing mountain wave pattern so the sunshine is no surprise with the sun peaking out adjacent to convective rolls where there is sinking air. Only the ridge tops or areas that are actually on the TN line and to the NW probably will stay completely in the clouds.(Note: With these mountain wave clouds..suggests the wind speed at cloud level is probably higher than what the models suggested.) Here is neat demonstration of orthographic lift on the windward side of Mt. Mitchell via webcam: http://www.nchighpeaks.org/weather/pensacola.php And then the reverse on the leeward side. http://www.nchighpeaks.org/weather2/sevenmileridge.php Somebody is getting robbed!

Be careful man, it's picked back up here at the house again. Snow Hill does live up to its name and if you are hungry they make a great Hunt Bros pizza there at the gas station!

SnoJoe Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Took a little drive around my area. Big differences in totals but you get the idea. It's been snowing like this since daybreak. Approaching 8 inches now. On radar you can clearly see the stream into Yancey and Mitchell counties. I guess we got lucky on this one. Temps holding steady at 13.

You know I was looking at your pic trying to figure out where that was...I knew it had to be down on the river somewhere but I was thinking it was on Cane River...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I like to walk the tracks anywhere from Poplar on up to Toecane trying to get a close-up of those elusive greyish blue birds down on the river. You know which ones I'm talking about Joe? Are they herons or cranes or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
