I guess it was bound to happen, it always does. Looks like the Mountains of NC will get a bit of snow tomorrow, just in time for the early March crowd in the Smokies. Could be quite a shock considering the mild weather they've had for the most part so far.
Meanwhile, here in Northern NH, the high today was 5F with a stiff breeze, so windchill is like -20, down here in the valley. It was in the 50's last week. Just love these wild temp swings. Now we might get a Nor'easter on Tuesday. Bring it on!
It was 73F here 15 days ago. 22F (officially) right now.
87 +/- here. Windy with wildfire warnings posted. Where's the rain!
Hope they're getting out the mukluks.

It was a balmy 65 for a low near the glades....https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170311/f9dc7957dd75b6ea7b620b9db38fa5cc.jpg

this storm ain't bad. the one we had in 93 at this time was awesome!
Wednesday or Thursday I saw ice forecast for TN & NC this weekend. I hope nobody needs spikes and doesn't have them.

If the forecast is to be believed, we will see 8-12 inches of snow on Tuesday, and just a few days ago you barely needed a jacket. Typical New England March weather. I just look at my little seedlings under lights and sigh.

LOL.
You gotta love New Englanders. Proud to deal with winter and ever hopeful that there will be an early spring all while bemoaning the fact that there are always "late season" storms that reminds them spring is still a long way off.

I was stuck in that one for days, off route 64 in Va., till I was able to travel again. When I got home the snow was higher than I was tall. It took two hard long days to get the car from the street to the garage, 220 ft in from the street.

I left Cherokee NC yesterday at lunch time and the snow was coming down hard. And in SC this morning at 5am going to work it was coming down but not sticking. Don't think its gonna be a bad one.
Hit -35F on the summit of Washington yesterday. That is WITHOUT the wind chill, as that was likely around -80F.
Snowblower is gassed up. :)

Any of y'all have any guesses for weather on the AT in NC and TN in April? My friend and I are heading out for a four week section in early April (starting at Hot Springs) and I'm trying to decide about bringing microspikes...

was that alberta clipper gertrude?
oh wait... that was before TWC started giving names to every cloudy day and before we realized that every storm thats about to hit is actually the WORST ONE EVER SEEN cause... global warming? or something?
everyone make sure and clean out the local gas station and quickie mart of supplies, its going to be breezy tomorrow.

Yup. Here's what the first day of spring looked like at my place in 2004. I really wanted to plant peas, but I made a snowman instead.

April? AT? Hot Springs north?

The only guarantee. No guarantee you'll be able to see it. Microspikes through the Roan Highlands? Why not?

Second (at least here in NY) only to the one in 88 (1888, that is) :)
And the (sort of) funny coincidence is that both of those storms ended on... March 14th.
And Tuesday's date is... hmm...

Is that a 20' python in the bushes?
The early to mid Feb starting NOBOs will see snow, sleet, and ice. No surprise. It happens in April too at elevation.
Snow in Boone on Tuesday. My Birthday Snow Storm right on schedule.
Get out your woolys.

A lot. I was a middle school teacher and school census in the areas showed a bubble for that age group.
Tuesday forecast for Boone, NC. Elevation 3,400 feet.

Mind the wind at higher elevations.

On the other hand, the experience of being snowed in for multiple days while caring for young children is one of the most effective birth controls ever invented.

Ha...was more concerned about the loads of hammerheads and bulls that pack the pass to eat the tarpon. The world record hammerhead was caught hear a few years back.....We left this site at 2am to get across the harbor as the wind dropped under 20kts. I was in the drink twice but was out of the water so fast barely got wet! Unfortunately weather didn't cooperate and so we didn't make chokoloskee check point in time. 3 days paddling 18-20 hours per day took its toll.

Florida has some pretty wild critters above and below the water. I was reading about the tribal men from India hired to hunt down the pythons in the Everglades.
In Colorado we just worry about the mountain lions, moose and tripping over the homeless hippies in front of the pot shops.

Wayne, I learned the hard way not to ditch my spikes before I know for sure there's no more winter ahead! :rolleyes:
