When I lived in NC I was always dismayed at the lack of Current Condition Reporting stations in the mountains - Asheville was the only station in the mountains, and Hickory the only station in the foothills. This caused the mountain weather - which is significantly different than the Piedmont weather - to "disappear" on meteorological analyses of the area. I am pleased to see that there is finally a station there now, in Jefferson, NC (Ashe County). I think this is a recent addition to the NWS's observing sites available online. It appears to be an automated station. The station is not yet available from the NWS NC Observations page at http://tgsv7.nws.noaa.gov/weather/NC_cc_us.html, probably because the station has no name in their database and the station identifier is not in the NWS Lookup Database at http://www.nws.noaa.gov/oso/siteloc.shtml However, it is available on the NWS's station conditions site at: http://tgsv7.nws.noaa.gov/weather/current/KGEV.html It is available through AccuWeather AccuData AMPS program but not Personal AccuWeather. It is not yet available on the Weather Underground. I have asked both sites if they can please add it. You may also want to ask your favorite site to add it to their list if they have not already. The specific information on the site is: KGEV - Jefferson, NC (formerly NC67) Latitude - 36 26N Longitude - 81 25W Elevation - 969 meters (via Boris A.
