Very underwhelming here so far- hopefully we see it pick up soon but currently on 29.7 with a dusting from the first round. Very little precip since then, even the Beech Mt cams look like not much going on besides some clouds.

Looks like arctic front just coming out of West Virginia. Hopefully by 12-1 we will see it start up

KJKL radar looks pretty juicy. Delayed but not denied. 

Yeah not bad. Can hear a few gusts up the hill now. Interestingly our power flickered earlier but its been dead calm ever since. 

Considering making my annual freeze-my-butt-off trip to Grayson Highlands tomorrow. Always a fun adventure consisting of trying not to freeze while also remaining upright.

If anyone has a moment, I’d love your thoughts on this “NW-flow snow favorability” map (especially whether it’s capturing the patterns you’d expect). Mobile is a bit rough unless you rotate to landscape. I’ve wanted mountain property for decades, so I’m doing as much pre-analysis as I can haha.

100% haha. My other half says that's too far from "things"... Alas, so ideally like within ~20-30 minutes of the general Boone/Blowing Rock or Asheville area.

Ha fair point. I'm not sure if Boone really qualifies as having "things" but the map does look pretty spot on for my area of the county at least.

Seven Devils would be a good option- I live in Foscoe just down from it and the upper end towards Hawks Nest does really, really well. The Tynecastle/Banner Elk area as a whole is pretty solid with a pretty big drop-off towards Valle Crucis to the north and Linville to the south. 

Obviously Beech is fantastic but the trek up and down can get annoying.

Things being nearby is overrated. Burnsville and Spruce Pine have pretty much anything I need. You just better not need something after 12 on Saturday lol.
