Advisories and warnings were updated again at about 10:30 this morning. Details in the warning for Wise say another 1-4 inches is possible through the afternoon...warning expires at 6 p.m. Snow advisory locations elsewhere for SWVA and NE TN say additional accumulations up to 2 inches could be seen with up to 3 in the higher elevations. The heavy snow warnings (until 1 a.m. Thursday) call for Bell, Harlan, and Letcher say another 3-6 above 2500 ft. (totaling around 6-12), with another 1-4 in the lower elevations.

Mt. LeConte, in the Smokies, was nearing the 2 foot mark as of their report, and through 9 a.m. they had about 7-8 in Lynch and up on Black Mountain.

Leconte is over a mile high funny they should throw it in there.
I wish we could get 2 ft down here tho.

Considering it's under the category of central valley-smoky mountains, most people know anyway, they always put their reports up, they usually indicate the elevation in discussion sometimes when mention total possibilities, and the much higher totals should be a clue...I doubt most need that explained. I mean if things aren't obvious after that, then I'm not sure what to say, haha. At least I see they put the term "lower elevations" in some (dumb it down)..not that it would help any though, no one sees it in the advisory/warning details [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif[/img]

"category of central valley-smoky mountains"..location (like SWVA, NE TN, etc.), and as I said, they reference it and the elevation often. I was talking about most who read the discussions and such. It was a list of locations through that the area the Morristown NWS covers...click the link. Had nothing to do with Wise's weather, of course their weather is different, much different. I apologize for putting it in the post and not clarifying things before, sorry everyone....

Should apologize for being so anal. Just made a comment I thought it was funny they mentioned with it our weather. It wasnt like I was passing judgement on anyone. I dont really hang out in the weather forums that often. After working on the mountain I was aware that the weather can be totally opposite. But apology accepted. No need for further discussion understood. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif[/img]
