Inthepines Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Just a quick aside for anyone considering going to western North Carolina to chase the storm. Public works in the south are far different from those in the north. Even though Boone averages 35 inches of snow a year, the state of North Carolina pays for ike 2 snowplows. In major snowstorms, the area is totally crippled, you will be stuck for a couple days until melting commences! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother lives outside of Greensboro (like me lol, different state). His yard should do pretty well for this event, but nothing like the high country.

Never been in the winter but seeing their snow forecast makes me want to! I was there several years ago around Xmas. Left the Triad area with temps in the 40s. There had been a rain event the previous night. Up in the high country, the trees were all coated with a thin layer of ice with a couple inches of snow on top. Temps were in the low 20s in Blowing Rock with lots of wind. It was gorgeous. Looked like a Christmas card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Just checked the forecast for my brother's place north of Greensboro. Looks like 6-10" with some sleet and freezing rain towards the end, then ending as a period of snow. I think that area averages 9" of snow annually. eta- looks like 12-20" for Blowing Rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my company's IT guys was talking to me yesterday about how the CMC showed a hit, but chances were small we would see snow. When I asked him where he heard that from (knowing he isn't really a weather guy) said "oh Justin Berk on facebook". I audibly groaned. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Anyone else see the Avengers trailer? I'm so hyped. I'd give up a month of winter to see that movie now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 For anyone considering chasing keep in mind some of the towns in western NC have a pretty severe shadow effect from the 6,000 ft mountains. Asheville is not a great spot for big snow totals. Boone has a much better climo for big storms. However, if this keeps trending south they COULD be on the northern edge of where the best snowfall occurs. I am less familiar with the climo of the specific towns further south in NC but I know once you get south of Mt. Mitchell there are some pretty extreme snowshadow effect areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
