I never said otherwise; in fact, when replying to a member who said, "I guess snow falling from the sky without accumulating is considered measurable nowadays," I replied with, "Measurable snow is considered .1" or more." The comment I was addressing was "not even a single trace, much less multiple instances" had occurred in the Hickory/Catawba County area. I replied to that comment saying that there had been multiple reports on social media of snow falling on different dates, which confirms that at least a trace of snow had fallen on more than one occasion so far this winter. I think most would agree that seeing snow falling on three or four separate occasions at any given location in NC outside of the mountains before mid-December, even if it melts on contact, is impressive.

There was definitely a trace of snow that fell in the Hickory/Catawba County area on November 10th, December 8th, and December 12th. There were multiple reports on social media of snow falling on those dates.

Measurable snow is considered .1" or more. Looking at the IEM maps, it appears most of the state has seen at least .1".

Those maps are a bit more generous than the IEM maps shown below; regardless, most of NC has seen measurable snow.

The temperature at my location just west of Eden bottomed out at 8.4° at 7:30 this morning. This was only half a degree from the coldest temperature I recorded last winter, which was 7.9° on January 23rd. The coldest temperature I could find in Rockingham County was 7.2° at a location about halfway between Eden and Stoneville. KSIF recorded a low of 9.7° at 7:15am.

It's been snowing lightly here since around 7am. Seeing the heaviest rates of the day right now, but looking at radar it should be coming to an end very soon. 34.7°/30.1°

Looking at some of the early snow totals from the warned area in Virginia, it appears like many locations were able to meet warning critera. With a few hours to go before the snow ends, some may exceed what was expected by quite a bit.

An additional 0.8" of snow accumulated since my last measurement of 1" at 1pm for a total of 1.8". It's still snowing lightly with occasional moderate bursts, so I might make it to 2" before all is said and done. 31.3°/31.0°

After hovering around 32.2° all day, the temperature has finally dropped below freezing to 31.8°. I measured 1" of snow at 1pm, but it doesn't look like much has accumulated since then despite the continuation of steady light to moderate snow. Looking at radar, once this steady snow ends, it looks like flurries and snow showers will continue into the evening.

There does seem to be a significant difference in temperatures sometimes. Snow has started to accumulate on the road in front of my house now.

That temperature rise is strange, it continues to fall here and it's currently 32.4°. Starting to get a light accumulation now.

The switch from rain to all snow was quick at my location just west of Eden. At 9:00 it was all rain, and now its all snow and coming down at a pretty good rate. The temperature has fallen from 35.8° at 8:10 to 33.6° currently.

I ended up with only a light dusting, .2" to be exact. There continues to be off and on periods of very light snow, but it's not heavy enough to bring any additional accumulation. The current temperature is 31.1° woth a dew point of 30.9°.

I've got the snowboard ready. I'm expecting 2 to 3 inches here along the NC/VA border in Rockingham County.
