Pattern Elevation Micro-climatology (SE Mountain Weather)

Nice map, I know it took some time to make it. Yup, some places in western NC is going to get hammered with snow.

Thanks! It did take some time (about a hour) entering forecast numbers into Excel spreadsheet, importing it into ArcGIS, and generating the snowfall graphic onto the map with few adjustments. Then I had to make it pretty with final touches.
 
The trends are our friend today hopefully we can score something this weekend.
 
Minor icing event poss tonight with winter weather products being considered because of freezing fog all the way down to Wilkesboro. This occurred last night in Virginia and West Virginia with advisories too.
 
Off and on rain snow mix in Jasper, Ga area also. Heavier a little farther north in Ellijay. Nothing sticking. We are about 1385 ft or so here. Elevations vary in the area. Nothing sticking. Temps ranging lower 40s to upper 30s.
 
OK, how many of you out there are staring at the flood lights right now .... raise your hands. The first step is admitting you have a problem, lol

Talk about a beating. I’m not sure if some ski resorts will be open for the big MLK holiday weekend. 1” in upslope rain now 1-3” additional. And next week looks horrid.
 
Sapphire Ski resort is closed until further notice. Flash flood warnings and warm air last night with lots of lightning. 70s today in lower elevations.

The big names to the north are struggling too.
I won’t be surprised to see sugar completely close for a few days.


Sugar mountain is on the brink...

beech mountain is not healthy either. This slope usually is built up and counted by the feet..

Gsp thinks a little ice is possible mtns/foothills if the column moistened up between 12-16z. Nothing major maybe some slicks spots bridges elevated surfaces.
 
Nice chilly day here at shortoff mtn (eascarpment) 47° ill gladly take it too good day to take my new coon dog Bailey for a stroll.
