Tyler Penland Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully by 12-1 we will see it start up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneWX Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 KJKL radar looks pretty juicy. Delayed but not denied. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMulkey Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 It picked up alright. Looking at the downtown Boone cam and King Street needs a plow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMulkey Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 This is one of the more intense flow events I've seen in Boone/Blowing Rock, having lived here a bit over a decade now. Interesting considering we are much warmer and less windy than forecast. Guess the banding has set up right. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Hard to tell how much with wind but probably 1.5-2” in banner elk. Wind was extremely loud this morning. Pretty out but frigid. Got the fire roaring and going to head into town for lunch. Didn’t see much fall but it was coming down good at 5 am. Wind is still whipping and sun is out 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the same thing. You can definitely tell the sun is starting to rise higher in the sky. Spring will be here soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to the March equinox and sun angle but yes, meteorological spring is about to be a roller coaster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCBlizzard Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 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. http://44.197.87.201:3839 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
