WNC_Fort Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Nothing in the High Country yet, but now I’m excited. It feels like a storm is coming. Sorry for all the pessimism I’ve been burned a lot by storms recently. Let’s real this one in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 The snow has picked up here. Ground is white! I'm like a kid on Christmas morning! Temp down to 28 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HurricaneTracker Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Anyone concerned about power outages? With even half of the GFS or NAM forecast, issues will creep up fast given the nature of this storm and moisture content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC_WX10 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Nws only going with 2-4 for boone. Have to think after the latest guidance we're looking at a bit more. Good luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can hear it laying already with the wet content of the flakes. Power may be a big issue tonight especially If we see some big totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen power outages at 4 inches of snow if the snow is wet enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacoma Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 wow this thing exploded over night, some maps showing Buncome County could get 7 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to everyone!Blacksburg has been way behind the 8ball (as usual) with this one. When I went to bed they were still showing "nope, nothing to see here" in the grids.

This was what I encountered last night. Out shopping in Asheville looking for snow boots for my boys. Of course not a single store had any, and when I asked, they all looked at me like I was crazy or something. One customer said she didn't think we'd get more than a dusting! News alert to her - it's only 5:55am and I already have a dusting with still 23 hours of snow left to go! Nobody in AVL is expecting this snowstorm.
