TC ASW Posted yesterday at 01:13 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:13 PM Definitely a tough 'local' forecast, as I had to give guidance for guests here on whether to stay overnight last night and then risk driving down twisty icy roads this morning (for an early morning drive to ATL), or just get a hotel down Asheville for an easier/safer start.....they elected to get the hotel. Forecast verfication - Temperatures got down to 30F at top of Bearwallow Mtn, just 700 ft above me, so there was definitely freezing rain/ice up there, and it still 32F there at the moment. However we managed to bottom out at just 33F here at the Thunder Mountain Compound, and so it is just wet and foggy outside.... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Valley Steve Posted yesterday at 01:55 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:55 PM Woke up to a low of 34 here in the Valley at 3200ft. Looks like Cataloochee dropped to 33 with light rain. Warm nose saved us for this event. Keeping an eye on Sunday afternoon into Monday for another shot of wintry weather. I see DC has snow this morning. Good for them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hvward Posted yesterday at 10:04 PM Share Posted yesterday at 10:04 PM Models starting to get a handle on Monday-Tuesday. It has my interest as well for sure. Could be 24 straight hours of snow. Looks like we have a weekend of model watching ahead! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNC_Fort Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Enjoy this event on Monday my higher elevation friends. Your foothill brethren still can’t buy a small size event if we try. 3 years and counting at this point. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mountains aren't exactly running above average most of the past 6 or 7 years either. Without NW flow snow its been pretty poor everywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet Buckethead has been above average as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly the Asheville airport is in a shitty place. That's literally Fletcher or Mills River in a dang valley. Might as well call that Hendersonville. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have thought that for years! Actually, an excellent point.I have had more than them, but we have definitely not seen as much as you border guys. I used to cash in better on NW flow events, but that has been way lower lately. We are definitely substantially below normal. But, we have had some snow, which beats what a lot of people have had. I have complained some, but for the most part, I will just wait for the next one. Plus, I am a short drive away to see you border guy's snow any time it happens! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted 29 minutes ago Share Posted 29 minutes ago Asheville isn't above average that's for sure. They are as much below as the foothills. As are most of the Blue Ridge escarpment mountains. Closer to the smokies and TN border maybe average due to NW flow mostly. Synoptic snows are way below average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least, Henderson County performs better with CAD events than it’s NWF counterparts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Valley cashes in on synoptic storms but when the freaking low rides the coast like last year it's crap. Us mountain communities are way different from even Buncombe, Hendersonville, and out away from the border. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're telling me you have seen more snow than Boone during that time period? I think we all get caught up in 2 or 3 inch events when the long term average is still much higher than what we have been getting recently. What is your average in Maggie Valley? I'm guessing closer to 30 inches long term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I couldn't give two shits about Boone, Asheville, or any other place. I know and several know our local climate and snowfall. Sure some years have sucked and some have been near or above average. It really comes down to the local climate and local snowfall. It's can be very localized but that's weather. You Honestly live in a shitty place for snow. You need a synoptic storm to get yours and we just haven't had that recently. You do no good in flow snow either. Most of the time you are out looking in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
