I can’t wait for this cold rain event to be over( unless you live in the mountains or NC). I look forward to the next stress test next weekend and prob 5-10 more this winter.

Blueridge, it’s actually a shared max on the CMC for NC and VA. I wasn’t saying it’s only a paste bomb up north. It’s just a heavy climo like solution for WNC.

Trying to convince my wife to go to Asheville Saturday. 1-2ft is a once in a lifetime event.

The fact that she even needs convincing says a lot....

You cant take the kids and leave her there? Or go by yourself?

I am still trying to decide whether or not to go to my friends in Huntersville, NC. If I go I will leave in the morning. Obviously, I would rather be closer to the mountains but its free so thats a plus.

How do you think the roads around the mountains will be? 4x4 is a must I would think which I have.

Yeah i would be terrified of driving in the mountains with that much snow. I dont have the proper vehicle for driving in that kind of snow.

Yea that’s way I think if I left Saturday morning I could bet the snow but be stuck until it melts. Might be Tuesday for that to happen.

You said you have some time off so I say go for it. You may not have another opportunity like this for years. If you don't go you may regret it !

definitely the snowiest state for sure

I beg to differ if we take the mountains out of the picture. I feel Tennessee and especially north Tennessee get more snow then North Carolina does. It could just be recency biased though as Tennessee has done well in the winter weather department the last 4 years or so. However I do seem to remember North Carolina scoring a lot of snow the first few years I lived here. I know Tennessee doesn’t have to deal with the ocean moderating the temps like western North Carolina does.

NC is more likely to get big snows than TN i think, even outside the mtns. I guess due to the proximity of the ocean. The same holds true further north. Philly is more likely to get a big snow than areas further west such as Indy, due to proximity to the ocean.

Obviously you aren’t married and probably won’t be for a while with thinking like this. Lol

Yeah I’m talking about consistency more then single storm totals.

 

[NoSnowATL]

Just imagine if this storm came in Late January with a nice snow pack to our north and west. You would have had 1-2 ft of snow totals from Mississippi east to NC. So looking forward to Winter.

Yeah this has been a big if only storm

I just hope the next one has more cold air
