I've got about a half inch and it's really coming down now. Give me 3 to 4 and I'll be at about half of my normal snowfall. Sad that it took until April to get it. Lol yeah this has been a depressing wintet no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been pouring the last couple of hours. A good inch or better now. Temps finally came down enough to matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherlover Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I bet there will be some impressive totals coming out of the higher elevations, especially between Cherokee and gatlinburg. Looks like they have basically been getting hammered since 10-11 this morning. Has anyone heard any reports from this area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Penland Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Nice dusting here in Blowing Rock. Good coverage on all ground surfaces. 31º. Nothing on the ground in Boone but as soon as you pass the Parkway bridge into Blowing Rock and start up Food Lion hill it goes from nada to white. Love how that happens. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlatLander48 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Gonna be honest. Driving through Fleetwood last night at 1145 was my favorite winter moment in the last decade. The heaviest snow I've seen fall in a very long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoJoe Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Woke up to maybe a couple of inches. The wind is wicked. Had a gust overnight to 58. Temps bottomed at 26.3. Was hoping for more snow but at least there was a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Penland Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Still some patchy snow on the ground at Mitchell today. First trip up there since October and boy was it nice. 54º with a breeze when I got up there. Perfect hiking weather. Nice crepuscular rays to boot. Noticed the "green line" down around 3kft. Lots of buds on the trees above that (except up at Mitchell) but still very brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 Good morning mountain folks! It's been a few. Looking down the road at the euro it looks like blackberry winter will be upon us soon. The euro is showing a pretty strong system moving through kind of like a cutoff but faster. Temps cool significantly with ample chances for rainfall.

Yeah looks like we see some great chances from today through Wednesday. We have gotten intermittent showers already. The Euro still shows a significant cool down I'm sure with more chances of rainfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Just surpassed the 2 inch mark. Much needed at this time of the year. With the very warm temps coming the flora is going to explode. I also predict a huge bug hatchling!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 Man what a week with rainfall. From Monday through tonight we have received 4.34 inches of rainfall. That's pretty impressive for 7 days. Also current temp is 44 degrees with today's high of 49. Perfect spring weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatLander48 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Did you guys know it rained a bit? Currently sitting at 3.5 inches for the last 48 hours alone, not sure what the past 7 day totals are but it's getting close to the 6 inch range I think. Got a lot of rain yesterday, was very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have added another half inch to what I posted last night. Very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatLander48 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 A more official report has come out showing the closest area to me that has an official measurement (Miller's creek) of 5.36 inches in the past 72 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 I think we heat up but only to cool down again with more rainfall. Shoot the 18z is showing high elevation snow for the morning of May 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty excited. 12z Euro has a nasty warm nose that kept Boone proper as rain, but 850's and up are supportive. Might be making a trip to Mitchell next Fri/Sat.

Yeah it looks interesting for sure. Today's 12z looks like a huge swing from this weekend. We go from the mid 80s to probably highs in the 50s with a deep trough for the end of next week. We will probably see a lot more rain also out of a setup like that. Some cold air aloft too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
