Local Yokel Weather

Local Yokel Weather I'll forecast again farther down the line. Our driving force is simple.

Geeking out to local weather/climate across SW NC since 07'

Stopped forecasting in 22', but still having fun running around our mountains, now focused on Parkway Colors. To create, support, and foster a growing network of weather stations, partners, and individual enthusiasts that work together to bring more data and insight to our neck of the woods here in SW NC.

advice to sledders

hit the hill before 2pm on Saturday

- snow will be on the ground as you wake up, no need to wait

- an additional 2 - 5" of snow will fall btw sunrise and mid afternoon and sledding in a snowglobe is 10x better (scientific fact)

- main reason is temps PLUMMET after midday to single digits by sunset, alongside wind speeds of 15 - 30mph 🥶

- stay inside by the fire Sunday, we have a below zero start for many and wind whipped flurries will be the only action, highs in the 20's

Bust out all of your sleds and snow tubes, this is the one most of us have been waiting for!
