Had some flurries in the Dash this afternoon.

WINTER IS COMING

Flurries in Midtown Raleigh too. #snOMG

Sugar Mountain started making snow new year's day and went from dirt to being open all the way to the top (well, only one slope from top to bottom, but still). Not bad. I'm supposed to ski race there this weekend but they are going to have to get more slopes open, or at least I assume they will not close the only operational slope to the public just to let a collection of has-beens and never-wases (me) race.

Flurries in Banner Elk today. High 32 Low 12 tomorrow but 42/34 on Friday and 50/35 on Saturday. Sugar should be able to make snow next 48 hours.

looks like they got Big Birch and Gunther's Way open overnight. That's where they will put the races unless they can get a solid base on Sugar Slalom and Oma's Meadow before the rain comes.

"I talked about the cold, and now there are signs that storminess could be coming with that cold. It’s still very far out, but the pattern is starting to evolve to one that should bring winter weather to the eastern part of the country. Possible even parts of the Carolinas."

Probably posted earlier but raysweather.com good website for weather conditions and forecasts in Blue Ridge and Smokies. Professor from ASU been operating this site for over twenty years.

Setting up at this point to be relatively dry in the northeast and wetter in the south this year.

Only snowed about an inch here so far this year with another forecast tonight of around an inch.

So that's Sunday before MLK day? Of course.

Snow that weekend?

Nothing says celebrating America's racial diversity quite like winter sports.

 

[Wakeforest22890]

Yeah but is it sunny today? If so, I don't see how it could possibly snow this weekend.

REJOICE! SNOWPOM HAS RISEN!

 

[DeaconPeach]

We'll be in north Georgia for a wedding Saturday evening. Supposed to drive back to the ATL on Sunday & then home to Raleigh Monday afternoon.

This does not bode well for us. :rulz:

 

[Wakeforest22890]

Looks set to come up the coast as well. I imagine forecasts will change to show some snow late Sunday night into Monday up here. Pretty big storm

Is it going to be snowing in Charlotte during the Panthers game??

 

[uncaboref]

Is it going to be snowing in Charlotte during the Panthers game??

There is a possibility at this point (would much prefer snow to cold, mid-30's rain).

Is it going to be snowing in Charlotte during the Panthers game??

Lanie Pope just mentioned the possibility for Sunday in the triad and Charlotte.

 

[Deacon923]

it better not start until after my plane leaves early Sunday morning. I'm going to Utah where they have REAL snow and I don't want some weak-sauce NC slush screwing up my ski trip.
