You must have more blowing snow than me or something. I have some wind, but I'm typically protected on the leeward side of my mountain during nwf.

Yeah...can't say I don't have wind issues.  LOL.  I'm slightly exposed to the NW wind thinning things out.  LOL

Man I swear you spot is gold for snow and cold.  I'm on Beech higher up and you just about always have higher totals and colder temps.  Nuts.  Perfect location!!!  Makes me think about looking in your area. 

I'm at 13 as of 8pm and about 3 inches.

Wow! I have 7.5 inches (at least) and drifts to 15 inches at my house in the Roan highlands. I am just under 3800 feet in elevation but we do well in NW flow.

its still absolutely ripping.

Snowing really good in Cullowhee at WCU right now. I’ve been FaceTiming with my daughter there. She was letting me vicariously enjoy a Jeb walk as she walked around campus. It’s been coming down really well for the past couple of hours there. A truly beautiful early season gift for that community, and Cullowhee doesn’t tend to get big snows being down in the valley like they are. It’s amazing the joy that crystallized water falling out of the sky can bring…

Great stuff from Allan Huffman.
Today's 12z op ECMWF and EPS mean both show the 10mb U wind turning negative, meaning a change to an easterly wind direction over the polar regions and an #SSWE with 41 of 50 EPS members (82%) showing this reversal with 11/25 the day with the most negative members. Sudden Stratospheric Warming Events, can weaken the tropospheric polar vortex, allowing for increased high latitude blocking (-AO) and the enhanced risk for arctic air discharge into the mid-latitudes (North America, Europe, East Asia). A late November SSWE is relatively rare, and COULD help favor a cold start to meteorological winter(December). The last November SSWE was in 1968.20251112_143259.jpg

The 1968-69 winter has been brought up a lot recently. We got this beast that winter.
