Met1985 Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Dare I say "That's a wrap?" Main long term thread talking about miller A's and stuff already. At this point, I'm gonna say keep dreaming. Needless to say for me this event was a good one. Got over half a foot of snow with some dreamy snowflakes/ rates earlier. now I get to watch it wash away before morning. Won't complain with that. And get clean roads for the first time since the middle of January. You read the main board to much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Thanks Don! Too many big dog signals on the 12z EPS to call it quits right now. Franklin and Super J mentioned it in the other thread but the EPS looks pretty good day 8-10. I was looking at a few members and there is a solid high pressure to feed cold moisture showing up to aid a wrapped up miller A. This would be perfect for WNC. The EPS also had some big dog with this storm 10 days ago so bear that in mind. But no reason to call it quits in the middle of Feb. We live in the mountains guys. ASHE this post is for you bud. We do not declare winter over here in the mountains until later in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncjoaquin Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 My son lives in Tryon. He left from here a while ago. He said there were multiple wrecks on 26. I live in West Asheville and it is 32 here, but no ice. I went out and went down Brevard rd. Just a short distance down and there was ice in the bushes and trees. 31 there. Really close to a really bad winter storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatLander48 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 How much snowfall do you have on the season? I would slow down thinking winter is a wrap, especially with your location Sorry guys, must have worded it wrong. I meant to say that's a wrap for this storm, not winter in general. Probably should've worded that better lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonhowl Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 ASHE this post is for you bud. We do not declare winter over here in the mountains until later in April. Amen, as one who wouldn't mind it torching from this point on knows beyond a shadow of doubt that March is very much a winter month in the mountains and that frequently rolls into April. Let us not forget Mt. Pisgah in May 1992... Winter is far from over. I see Ashe has clarified his statement right as I posted the above. I am sure he has seen more than a few April snows.

Well UNCA had Syracuse beat a few years back in the tourny until the refs took over and won the game for Syracuse in the final minute. I was at that game in Pittsburgh. Never felt so bad and helpless for a team ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Robust clipper coming through tonight. Looks good on radar. Hopefully it'll hang together and gives us a surprise. No snow this morning but temps have been dropping since about 3 am. Down to 26.9 now. Can't believe how long that CAD is hanging on in the foothills and northern piedmont. Just proves once again that the models, always, scours it out too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one for sure did, but when I used to live in Charlotte the cold air would actually leave early sometimes. Anyways I actually had some snow around 730 or so this morning.

MikeGold Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Robust clipper coming through tonight. Looks like a solid 6" for the higher elevations of the Balsams over about a 9 hour period. There will be a SW wind upslope component as well which might cause it to over perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDowell_Weather Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Worst ice storm in ten years. Almost half an inch of ice, temp stayed at 31 till 8:30 this morning. I lost power at 3a.m, woke up to a big KABOOM!!! transformer blew right beside my window, green sparks flew everywhere. 226,221 and I-40 were all shut down last night due to stranded motorists and wreck. I-40 looked like a parking lot, several shelters had to open. I woke up at midnight before the transformer blew to thunder and lightning. Crazy storm to say the least.
