New drought map today, and the worst areas are expanding, at least in this region. You lucky Texans... #Asheville #NCwx https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/CurrentMap.aspx

Good morning, #Asheville Tuesday here starts at 35F which is almost unbelievable after all the early heat the region has had. No frost, probably because it's so incredibly dry. Warmer soon, but with luck not to the 90's again for a bit. Please send rain... #NCwx

A #weather statement from the #NWS issued for this afternoon, as our humidities plummet and the winds pick up. ...INCREASED FIRE DANGER FROM NOON EDT TODAY THROUGH THIS EVENING... Relative humidity values will fall into the 25 to 30 percent range again this afternoon, with winds increasing to around 10 to 15 mph with gusts of 15 to 25 mph. With vegetation remaining dry, the ongoing drought, and favorable meteorological conditions, fires will be able to catch and spread rapidly. A burn ban issued by the North Carolina Forest Service remains in effect across the entire state of North Carolina until further notice. #NCwx

The Southeast US drought map as of today. My region of Western NC is in one of the regions of extreme drought. El Niño will not make any of this better. Interactive, can get down to individual counties. https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu #NCwx #Fires #Drought

At 7:30, my region slightly SW of #Asheville has seen the first line of red storm pass by, so for a while we're in a steady rain area, before entering another yellow stretch. The leading edge is moving east, keep an eye out, friends. #NCwx

Morning, #Asheville 19F with more wind, but really just a heavy dusting of snow in my community. Areas further north got a couple of inches. Buncombe County schools are closed, again because of the risks to the school buses on the higher mountain roads. Chilly. #NCwx #Snow

Hey, #Asheville, put away those short sleeved shirts from the last few days, as we have 2 days of cold, snow and winds again. Nothing like what the northeast will be facing, however. Those 5 daffodils that bloomed yesterday will be in for a surprise. #NCwx #snow

Another blastingly cold morning here in #Asheville, but heating way up for 40F with luck today, so some of the snow will shift. 2.8F outdoors at the house, and very low humidity inside. Looking for at least a couple of warmer days. Thanks for going with me on the snowy adventure! #NCwx #Snow

Today the sun has found us again in #Asheville, and it is helping do some of the melting without it ever getting warm. Currently 22F but the macadam is clear and dry after the 2nd shoveling this morning. Low of 5F tonight, and more winds. Really beautiful. #NCwx #Snow

Night shoveling complete. That's roughly ten inches/25 cm deep. Crazy. New appreciation for those who have to do this often. Like more than every 25 years. Maybe tomorrow I can get some winter beauty pics and get out of this cranky old man phase. #NCWx #StormGianna

Getting to the end of the light here in #Asheville, still 13F with a -5 windchill. I should have gone out to remove the last 2" of snow, but what the heck... I'll wait until the temps double tomorrow. 😱 23F for the high. Friend's report is the roads are passable, but nothing you'd want to play with if one doesn't need to. And we don't need to. Heat is on, lights are on, there's running water. Tomorrow's Sunday. I hope everyone who wanted snow got some. #NCwx #Snow

Went to sweep off the snow between the patio and the crawlspace door, so I can turn the space heater on later (important pipes run through there) & it was massively cold. Currently 13F, with a -7F windchill. Real temps going down to 6F tonight. A few kids out trying to sled down on a hilly street nearby. At least it's dry snow, so good luck. Better than seeing the Honda trying to make their way up, and then someone behind them in the street, on their feet, pushing the car. I couldn't watch, they were both sliding back down the hill, just one misstep and disaster. Someone with a Jeep came and towed them. #NCwx #Snow

About noon here in #Asheville and the light snow is still falling. Have shoveled the drive and walk (no one else is out, smarter people) and done for the time being. Maybe approaching 4"? ED doc who went to work reported no problems on the major, plowed roads, and our local ones were navigable with AWD, so she had no issues. So far, only fun! #NCwx #Snow

@TheEddieShow@beige.party @avlcharlie@mastodon.social Since Eddie mentioned cams, here are some in the area. I don't think that Highland one's up to date, LOL. Mt Mitchell of course is a mess, who knows what's happening up there. https://wlos.com/weather/cameras #NCwx #WeatherCams #Snow

Now going on 8AM, the temp has dropped to 18, and the snow is still falling, lightly but steadily. There is a touch of wind out of the north, but my weather station is somehow not telling me about it. #Asheville #NCwx #Snow
