    Thanks for the insight. I'm pumped to get a spot and have a lot less frustration due to the lack of snow in the Piedmont haha. Cheers!
  2. NCBlizzard
    100% haha. My other half says that's too far from "things"... Alas, so ideally like within ~20-30 minutes of the general Boone/Blowing Rock or Asheville area.

    If anyone has a moment, I’d love your thoughts on this “NW-flow snow favorability” map (especially whether it’s capturing the patterns you’d expect). Mobile is a bit rough unless you rotate to landscape. I’ve wanted mountain property for decades, so I’m doing as much pre-analysis as I can haha. http://44.197.87.201:3839

    Ended the event with about 10.5" here in Belmont NC. Whopper of a storm. I'm glad to see Triangle folks were able to rake some in as well!

    We are right at 5.5" here in Belmont and still coming down steady! Temperature has dropped to 19° - despite solar noon having been ~1 hour ago. Incredible.
  7. NCBlizzard
    Truly pouring major flakes. It's like a snow globe outside. Right at 4" in Belmont. Averaging rates of about 0.8" hour since 8 AM. Temperature is down to 20°.
  8. NCBlizzard
    Really hoping things work out at least to some degree up that way for y'all. Just moved to Belmont a few months ago from Durham, and now surprised I'm better off here than there re snow (nowadays, at least, since this area has missed out a lot over the past 10 years).
  9. NCBlizzard
    Even with 3 snowboards out in various places, none seem to be fully exempt from the (sometimes massive) waves of blowing snow that are coming off trees/houses - trying to measure hourly at least to best gauge actual accumulation.
  10. NCBlizzard
    Approaching 2" in Belmont. It is an absolute whiteout outside right now! It's 21.8° on my station here and still steadily dropping. CLT has been reporting visibility of 0.25" and "Heavy Snow" since 9:00.
  11. NCBlizzard
    After a lull, light snow again in Belmont. Radar is looking good.
  12. NCBlizzard
    Roughly 0.6-0.7" in Belmont at 6:00. Temperature is 26.4°F (right in line with latest HRRR for here). I-85 corridor GSP to Kannapolis about to really see thinks pick up over the next 1-2 hours it seems.
  13. NCBlizzard
    Returns NE of Charlotte still hanging on as they continue moving towards Greensboro/Raleigh. HRRR doesn't have them making it all the way there quite yet (dries them up around Randolph County), but perhaps it will be wrong.
  14. NCBlizzard
    Eclipsed 0.25" here about 10 minutes ago. It's really coming down out there, even under lighter returns now. Much bigger flakes. I think it's certainly safe to say the DGZ has already started deepening, and is certainly saturating!
  15. NCBlizzard
    I'm feeling pretty good about your area up through CLT!
  16. NCBlizzard
    Under brief heavier returns, total change in flake size. Had some massive dendrites falling. Temp down to 27.5°. Besides one pesky 5 minute interval, CLT has been observing light snow for an hour so far, since 3:40.
  17. NCBlizzard
    Not from the meso low as described in that post, but general ascent from the ULL itself will support a swath of snow around ATL and N&E towards daybreak as well.
  18. NCBlizzard
    Steady light snow in Belmont. Ground is whitening and cars are starting to be covered. Radar is filling in nicely as well. Some particularly heavier returns popping up over the Charlotte area and to the SW into the upstate. Surface temperature starting to drop as well, down to 28.5°.
  19. NCBlizzard
    Flurries have started off and on in Belmont. 29°
  20. NCBlizzard
    37°F in Belmont, NC. Pumped to see any amount of snow, truly. What's everyones plan for sleep haha. I think I am going to try a brief nap here soon, waking up around 3-4 AM as of now, don't want to miss a moment - worried I'll end up just staying up all night and tomorrow!
  21. NCBlizzard
    AIFS 10:1 snowfall totals. Both AIGFS and AIFS highlighting possible precip maximum somewhere in the Charlotte vicinity.
  22. NCBlizzard
    I approve the trend.
  23. NCBlizzard
    I have usually found the snow depth parameter to better represent what we actually measure on the ground, and it's a beaut as well.
  24. NCBlizzard
    GFS has come in looking good. Strong low off the coast, ULL looking decent. Good trends I think. Kuchera through 12z Sunday.
  25. NCBlizzard
    Total QPF here in Belmont/Cramerton was 0.54". 1.2" sleet (a bit of snow mixed within that as well, but minimal, and only due to super cold CAD allowing some "dendrite-esque" precip to reform right beneath the warm nose which was quite fascinating). 0.18" ice accretion
