Rates on the rise here-it’s really starting to crank.
A crisp 21 here just 7 miles north of Boone…Meat Camp/Todd.

Didn't some of you nc peeps see about 3" of snow 10 days ago? Yes, I know it melted quickly, but there is no denying it fell from the sky

Yes, had some thundersnow on the front side and it has been lying around all the way up to this event.  Locals claim…”it’s been waiting around for more!”  

21, and some light snow falling…just N of Boone…in Meat Camp/Todd.  I wish I could hear Frank Deal talk about this and bust a corny little joke-he loved the mountains  

This backside deal looks more and more impressive!  Just not super excited for the winds when this rolls out…they’re gonna be brutal here imby! 
Steady light snow atm, here in Meat Camp, E side of Elk Knob at 3664’…21 and gonna surprise the fam this morning with some cheesy sausage balls.

An ATL-based meteorologist suspects the backside of the system might overperform in AL/GA tomorrow.

Agreed!

Spent the afternoon running instacart around Banner Elk and I have never seen this many people up here. Absolutely bananas.

County is having staffing issues due to COVID too so may be down some snow plows. Got a feeling we're going to have a mess come Monday morning.

Same issue for Wataga county, I was told that some members of the DOT were out sick

I plan on it my kids and wife are really excited for it and so am I. I always said once you get to 5-6 inches thats the threshold to where its enough. Maybe even as low as 4 inches.

Thinking you’re looking around 8 tho’ 

good luck

Yeah I think you'll get that easy. I wouldn't worry at all about getting that. It's going to be a wild ride.

Indeed! And that backside looks impressive.

Think Morganton in Burke county can stay mostly snow or?

Maybe around the northern Burke, Jonas Ridge/Gorge areas looks like the majority as snow, but south of that, the elevation drops rapidly, so I’m not sure.  IMO, I’d say mostly snow and some IP/ZR, with more concern with icing for the Piedmont and Charlotte areas.  Hard to imagine over an inch of ice around those areas-especially given the fact they haven’t had a significant ice storm in a while, so there’s plenty of low hanging fruit to snap.

Well 6z Nam(s) weren’t nearly as bad as the 0z debacle. Adjusted its evolution some with that primary

Looks like the lp shifted north on the one? Or am I just tired?

GFS looks on point also this morning.  I really don't see much mixing issues for the mountains at all. Not saying GSP is wrong but I just don't see it. 

Same, looks like pretty much and all snow deal up here.  But not the same deal for down the hill along the I-85/US-64 corridor from like Charlotte, East to Apex area…thinking they may have a significant IP/ZR event.

Here ya go from pivotal. General trend has been down over the last several runs but this one looks slightly better for the NW mountains. Still 36 hours for another windshield wiper trend.

Think the NW High Country still gonna be pleased with an excellent event.  And that backside dealio will be a nice little thump.  I’m just a tick North from ya’ here on East side of Elk Knob and not looking forward to the winds when this rolls out.  The low temps combined with the possibility of another event Wed/Thurs.-I’d say no school for the kiddos probably for the whole week.  But hey no complaints, let’s all enjoy an active winter!

@wncsnow check out this convective like band that forms on the back end of the departing ULL. That looks like it would be something fierce.

The backside is gonna be a nice little thump especially for our mountain folks, but not looking forward to the winds that will follow this one.

Good idea! Will be interesting to watch the fauna tomorrow as this approaches.  Gonna load the feeders.  Looks like a good one ladies and gentlemen for most of us here. 
Helluva ride! 
Hopeful it’s not a terrible IP/ZR event for our upstate Palmetto friends and/or Piedmont tho’…we were living there for the December 02’ Miller B deal-with children and no power for 8 days…fun times indeed! By day two, the kids busted out the spears and a random conch shell!

Sweet memories!
