What a day yesterday snowy, cold and windy! Today we started out with the lowest temperatures of the year and season of 2F. We warmed up steadily thru the day to 29F. The high temperatures cause melting from the snow that fell yesterday but also it helped keep things colder having snow pack. 12.3” was the official total from the snow yesterday that ended around 6pm or so last night but few flurries flew til late night on and off. There’s still 8” of snow pack on the ground even in the sun areas. A little tid bit we had a major snow accumulation  in just a hr yesterday from the NW Flow of 2.3” in one hr!


The week ahead will be warmer but Monday morning we will need to watch out for black ice and refreeze of slush since there’s still snow and moisture non some roads in the high country. Calm weather til Wednesday when there will be rain chances into first part of weekend. We can’t rule out cold snaps or even winter weather til mid MAY for the high country so we still will keep eye out n patterns and models on those possibilities. 


Appreciate everyone support. Hope everyone has a great rest of there Sunday! Feel free to share this as the main goal is I want to share this information so people can see what a microclimate in WNC looks like.

4500’ Yancey NC/High Country WX

​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​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...
