What a day! Absolutely gorgeous snowy day up here on the mountain today. Winds whipping through the mountains causing limbs and trees to fall this morning as the cold air was rushing in. Our temperatures been crashing since midnight where high was in the low 40’s and now currently 8F. Snowfall today intense as you can about get where 2.3” in one hr fell around midday. Snow still currently falling with 11.8” on the ground. These NW Flow squalls will continue into the afternoon and night. The NW Flow will shut down late and temperatures will continue to fall. Some places in high country will see around 0F by day break Sunday. Sunday will warm up to mid upper 30’s and snow melt will begin but some refreezing could be a issue in high country Monday morning. 


Let’s enjoy this beautiful snow that’s on the anniversary of the 93 blizzard. Appreciate everyone support and I hope everyone has a great rest of there Saturday.

​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​2/6 /2023 7:30PM Next couple days will be calm so I am going to take small break and work on other projects I have going on. Ready to gear up for this weekend. Looks to be a good chance at some snow in the high country along the border. Early call for those favorable NW Flow Areas could see some accumulation of snow. Temperatures will be chilly.  The transition from this blog site to a website is coming soon. Reasoning is easier access for you the reader. Also to me makes it look professional. This wouldn’t be possible if it wasn’t for the loyal supporters. I’m by no means a writer so my blogs are more a hit down thoughts and stats type but I’m working on getting better at this for you. Also even thou my social media following in the past year since I started to give updates and such for my area has went to thousands across a couple platforms I will be scaling back likely on that. I’m not leaving social media or anything as of now it’s just I want to give eve...

​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 10/27/2022 3:30PM Want to start off this blog with a appreciation to all of you. Really love sharing this microclimate information but most importantly love interacting with you all. The other night a anonymous person made a very generous contribution to the weather fund. The funds that are given helps tremendously towards new equipment like weather stations/cameras/chasing/and lot more. I want to give as much information accurately as I possibly can especially for the high country areas that get barely any attention at all. Again I truly appreciate you all.  Share/ Retweet these blogs are much appreciated. Goal for this blog is to show what a micro climate can do.  Excited to announce NC/TN High Country WX has a store online now. Couple items there now. Will be adding more in the coming days. Money goes weather items and adventures.  Go check it out! https://www.bonfire.com/store/nctn-high-country-wx/ 4500’ Yancey NC Information  Current Cond...
