WNC_Fort Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Maybe we can at least say a Winter Storm Watch and likelihood of a warning is an improvement over the last few years. Used to be a few advisories every year and 1 or 2 warning level events. But, it’s been so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDawg Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I got 1.6" snow .95 freezing rain Sleet predominant or mixed 10 AM to 11 PM Saturday. Wind gusts low 20s at height of freezing rain.... Would be a catastrophe if that comes to pass. Actually terrified of the 100'+ oak trees around my house in this instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Rutherford up to Wilkes look like ground zero for ZR with the way it trending. We gotta pray for sleet or we are dealing with serious powergrid issues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to stop by Lowes in Statesville for non-storm related stuff, but lady at checkout said they were out of generators already. They might get more, but that gives you an idea. If anyone needs one, I would start looking around soon. Looked like holiday traffic on US 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad we got one, even though its a smaller one it will take care of heat at least.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNC_Fort Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Little rant: We have a -NAO. Strong high pressure. Plenty of moisture for once. Plenty of cold air. And we can’t snow? It’s just so frustrating to see what could have/should have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooneWX Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Idk about yall but I’m glad it’s going to miss firmly to the north. I can cope more missing it by a mile. A Virginia storm would’ve hurt but with a couple more ticks, Virginia is getting a devastating ice storm and we may go unscathed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 At this point its hard to bet against it continuing to move north until go time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
