mercurydime Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Glad to see this rain. 1.67 on the meter at 9:30a. A bit surprised at the amount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNC_Fort Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Was I just not paying attention or is this significantly over performing? I’m already nearing 2” and there’s a lot of heavy stuff in N Georgia/SWNC heading this way. Local creeks and ditches are overflowing (never recovered post-Helene) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

And this was a major miss/underestimate by the models 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooneWX Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 2.61” of rain. We’ve had dry conditions before this but I’m modestly worried it’ll be enough to loosen up tree roots before tomorrows wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercurydime Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 3.2 here as it begins to taper off. Prefer that spread out a bit more. Hope no one is terribly inconvenienced. Fog is setting in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDawg Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 5.51” total here. Don’t remember forecasts being quite that high. Upslope enhancement never fails along the southern escarpment. Now if we could just get a synoptic snow setup with some southerly flow. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 1.56 inches here. Still quite a bit over forecast but nothing compared to what you guys a bit further west got.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And over 4.5 of that is just from midnight to around 2 when it started to clear. Lots of flash flooding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNC_Fort Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I’m going to wait until Tuesday/Wednesday to make up my mind. I love snow in my backyard but if McDowell is fringe at best… I might just book a cabin in Banner Elk and have some fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strongwxnc Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 1.91 storm total. Over night runs still lead me to think options are on the table. The official WPC guidance has one day that is mentioned on Friday for the northern mountains. Like WNC-fort said, by early to mid week we should know. But looking like a cake job to our west in the mountains right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it won't trend more north, that will even cut snow totals up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNC_Fort Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Leaning heavily towards a Banner Elk weekend (Wed-Sun). Just seems like Miller As don’t exist anymore. More importantly, cold air never meets up with moisture east of the peaks. Jan 2022 remains the last meaningful event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDawg Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I just don’t know what it takes to get a decent snowstorm on the east side of the mountains into the foothills anymore. Feels like west of the Apps has been on quite a run for years now, and then the coastal storm left us high and dry last year. For an area that historically probably has the highest average snowfall in the southeast outside of the NC/TN border, just an epic run of awfulness. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like pulling teeth to get something anything without 100 caveats that’ll make it fall apart.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
