Tyler Penland Posted December 15, 2025 Share Posted December 15, 2025 Stalled out at 10.0/10.2 here in Foscoe. Truck read 9 when I left the store in Blowing Rock and the wind was howling through our lot. Sent from my Pixel 10 Pro using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like that’s the case (rotated quickly through and out) per 850 temps on the models: 7PM in degrees C last night near the coldest brrrrr! 1AM last night had already warmed some with coldest already rotating to E NC/VA: 7AM this morning had warmed a lot everywhere! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gopack42 Posted December 15, 2025 Share Posted December 15, 2025 What's the thinking for the week to 10 days ahead for us mountain folk? Hope we don't get too too warm although I'm not disappointed we won't go through what we did last night for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggie Valley Steve Posted December 17, 2025 Share Posted December 17, 2025 I had a low of 26 this morning and a high of 54 this afternoon. It looks like wet weather arrives Thursday afternoon into the evening hours with a cold front. The models indicate we will have highs in the mid 50's and lows in the 30's this weekend heading into Christmas Eve. I'm enjoying a break from the cold temperatures frankly. It's certainly not a so called torch that the drama queens have been wringing their hands over! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Penland Posted December 20, 2025 Share Posted December 20, 2025 Ok so I cannot figure out why it won't let me upload more than 2 photos per post at a time, but I finally got my laptop back from the repair shop earlier this week (daughter colluded with gravity to break the power button) and got to go through my photos from last Mon/Tue. Really an incredible snow event, and I can't stress enough how rare the lack of wind was up here; I've lived here a decade and this is the first time I've ever seen a snow this calm. We had something similar in 2017 but it was a much, much shorter calm period as the low wrapped around and we briefly cleared before NW flow. Sorry in advance for "spamming" a few posts at once 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
