Cashiers for the slam dunkeroo
Yeah I think the southern blue ridge will do well especially Highlands Lake Toxaway. That's where I'd go vs Boone
I was gonna go towards Boone but latest modes have been really good for Gatlinburg, where I’m actually at now.
I really don't think you need to go all the way to Boone to see snow.
Your right, I think I will give it a chance here in Gatlinburg. Models been showing Boone close to that low pushing east of there with a warm nose near by to keep the storm ice/sleet before the change over to all snow. Also models have been keeping area southwest of Boone like Asheville to east TN in the sweet spot with all/mostly snow and heavy at that. I feel good about just staying here where I’m at.
What’s your take on this?
since you are in Gatlinburg, I would think it would be better to go to somewhere in the SW part of NC if you need to, instead of Boone. Much closer.
I just don’t know where other then Asheville
Perhaps Waynesville or Maggie Valley, or as someone else told me Cashiers or Highlands. It's kind of hard to find a place to stay in Cashiers or Highlands though.
441 is gonna be closed. Might have to take the long way around
Would he need to get on 321 and then 40 ?
So I decided to go with Maggie Valley and head that way in the morning before it goes down hill. It’s above 3000 ft and looks to be a sweet spot.
Yeah. That would be about the only way to do it. Very few options and always disappointing when they close the road between Gatlinburg and Cherokee but it’s a different world up there.
Maggie is a fun little town and they will see some snow. Have fun
I think that’s a great choice.
Make sure you eat at Joey’s Pancake house. Promise me
TY, I’ve been chasing for a long time and this one is very difficult to know exactly where to go. Hopefully I picked a good spot
I will
It’s got amazing reviews.
Back in the good old days they’d still let you up with chains.
The problem with Gatlinburg is elevation and where it does snow up the parkway gets shut down during storms I'm sure you will see snow but don't accept much of accumulation unless your above 2500 ft in a cabin up on a mountain. Like near Ober.
This is where I'd go imo
Your right, I went ahead and booked a room for Maggie Valley which is above 3000 ft.
Not as much but still does good in Maggie Valley
I’m not even sure anymore. At this point I’m not overly confident in any location getting more than a couple inches.
Your right, although I still think 4-6 is possible where I’m headed. I’m ignoring the globals and watching the short ranges which pretty much all of them still shows a decent amount.
Probably gotta go to a very high elevation to see any moderate accumulations at this point. Roads to the mountaintops will probably be closed too.
High elevation snow. Smokies, Mount Mitchell, Roan Mountain, and Beech would still be great places.
