After seeing the Euro make a big jump like that I wouldn’t be surprised to see the heavier snow keep ticking west our way. But then again wouldn’t be surprised to wake up in the morning and poof it’s gone lol

Exactly why I’m not getting excited yet. If the trends continue tomorrow and even the slightest ticks west, then it’s game on. Great trends on the Euro though!

Might have to make a mountain chase this weekend from Birmingham. Looking at Gatlinburg, Highlands, or Maggie Valley. I lurk here every winter and this one is looking ripe. It’s been a tough year to chase in the mountains. This is y’all’s storm!

Big weekend event in Maggie Valley with our IceFest. Skiers should be piling into town as Cataloochee increased their base by 25 inches since Sunday morning!

Also for the near future we will see a reinforcing shot of cold air and the high elevations may see some flurries tonight. 
Yeah it's WINDY here. Some of the strongest surface gusts I've had since Helene in the hole here. It's really hard for wind to hit the surface where we are in the holler but it sure is tonight.

Id say right now a conservative 3 to 6 inches. A lot of energy flying around..we've got energy coming down from the PV and then the low. Kind of a 1 two punch possibly. 

Give me 3 inches of snow and I wouldn't complain,  based on the last few years. I will take more, but I am not greedy. High ratios will help out even if the moisture is lacking. I am hanging my hat on that!

6z Ai Euro coming in much better for WNC, but the down east crew isn't going to like it.

Nam 3km says this starts for the high elevations Friday around noon.  This one could really slip up on us here with all the angst about missing snow last weekend and the negative attitude towards forecasting that many currently have.

This is exactly what's going to happen.  People say they blew it big and we aren't going to get any snow this weekend.  That's fine. At least you'll be able to find crap at the grocery store.
