Snow is super heavy..vis about 500 feet...got about 15-17" measured about an hour ago...and it's supposed to do this up here for how long???

Heavy snow here...vis about 1000 feet...haven't gone outside but from my window looks like about a foot here...as my gas can is almost completely covered and it's about 15 inches tall.  I'll send some pics later when we get out into this

Over 4" here in Todd...and it's coming down really good.

Zoom in and there are some good tracers in the top right...the lens just doesn't do justice the the eye

I have never seen flakes this big in my life, unreal!! 

That's awesome...wonder what drives flake size...I've seen pancakes all the way to pixie dust...but not sure what variables play into the flake size...If you can safely, you should drive in that...you be like Han Solo in Hyperdrive

Any reports of Thundersnow yet?  I'm looking forward to hopefully getting some in Richmond, VA here sometime tomorrow. 

Love it!  Have only experienced this twice in my life...about 3 years ago...it was cool!  Not sure if that's very possible in the mountains, as compared to the flatlands

Some winds picking up here in Todd...and I wonder if we'll get any NWF/Backside snow here in the NW mtns as this moves out???  I am not versed in the NWFS...maybe I can read about it

Let me know if you need anything while you’re up here, I’m in Boone and plan to be out and about quite a bit throughout the storm.

Same here...we'll be on the North side up 194...lots of wrecks today...two flips, one clipped a power pole, and one car clipped the rails heading down the hill near Wendy's beside BB&T
