Where`s That Appy Snow?
It's still coming, folks. The snow from the clipper has fallen on eastern Kentucky and Tennessee but is still on its way to North Carolina and Virginia's mountains. Looking at the Mount Mitchell webcam this morning, I thought there was some snow, but it's probably just sun glint -- the trees look the same as yesterday.
It has arrived here in Central Pennsylvania. Sadly, this is only our second significant snowfall. The J-CAM has been temporarily been positioned to show an outside shot, but the snow has already melted to where you can't even see it.
I just checked the raingauge heater I installed last week and it's working fine, it's about 30 outside but over 50 in the gauge. Nothing has shown up on the graph yet because 1/100th of an inch of liquid precipitation has not yet fallen. Meanwhile, here's my driveway cam shot from earlier:
Is this what it's come to, Henry? Showing shots of a dusting of snow in our driveways in the middle of January? It's sad but true.
Our forecast for the Appalachians has not really changed from the one posted yesterday, as far as snow amounts:
The AccuWeather.com 15-Day forecast for Boone, North Carolina (PREMIUM | PRO) [Google Map] calls for 1-2 inches today from the system, with an additional inch tonight, which we can blame more on lake-effect than the clipper. But with a high of 41, the accumulation will really depend on the elevation where you're at. Keep an eye on the Mount Mitchell webcam and other HighCountryWebcams to see the flakes fly.
For my mom's house further to the southeast in Boomer, NC (PREMIUM | PRO) [Google Map], AccuPOP (PREMIUM | PRO) says there will be an equal chance of rain and snow... and an equal chance of nothing, so she's right on the edge of it. The official forecast calls for "a shower in the area this afternoon" with a high of 47. I'm thinking we won't see any snow on her webcam today but you never know.
The snow will spread across Virginia and Maryland tonight but it will be mixed with rain for the most part and it will be too warm to stick, according to our forecasts and a lack of NWS [JessePedia] winter advisories.
