Back in late April, I thought we were headed to a big dry spell. We had just missed on rain here and the upcoming days looked dry. So far for May, I am at 3.95 inch of rain. Nice turnaround, and everything is green and growing.
-
I was shocked to measure 1.5" on deck rail and car top. We did just a little better being to the east more I guess. There was a dusting from the night before, but most from this morning.
-
30 mins ago it appeared to be getting really light, then it started pouring snow. Huge flakes, its beautiful.
-
I'd say moderate snow here with some sleet earlier. Laying quickly on the dusting from yesterday evening.
-
I almost typed aleeet but wasnt sure if folks would get it!
-
snow flurries alert
-
Same

My point and click NWS forecast says 90% chance of snow on Wednesday and could be heavy at times. Kind of surprised by that. I expected it to temper back some if anything. Hopefully they see something us amateurs don't. Granted I am technically NW Piedmont but very close to foothills.
-
Seems early to be too sure one way or the other; I'll ride it out a bit longer. Even Brad P left a little NW trend wiggle room.

19 here a little before 8am
-
At least we are consistent, right at, a hair under 2 inches here just measuring on a car top. But it is beautiful.

Looked outside about start of halftime of the game, and it is pouring snow and sleet. Head out with the dog again. We are playing ball in the snow. Labs don't care. I realize it's raining - freezing of course. Then as we come in, it's some type of sleet or pellets. Just wild. Measured about 1.5 inch of mix. This reminds me of one of the old 1980's winter storms. We used to get a lot of little nickel and dime deals like this that would give you a little bit of everything precip wise.
-
Back to decent snow falling and nothing on radar. Maybe some hope.
-
We have the light diamond dust flakes now too.
-
Well this is heavy sleet. If we are going to have sleet, this is nice sleet.
-
Snow was pounding down during my walk, but just switched to mostly sleet. Probably a bust in terms of big snow amounts. But not a bust in terms of impact and just having a winter storm with very cold temperatures.
-
Rates have definitely picked up. About to walk the retriever and check things out.
-
Might be working past the flurries. Bigger flakes mixing in.
-
I think it was HKYWX years ago that said it - I'm getting flurried to death
-
Nothing after those flurries earlier but just saw pic from Wilkesboro and the roads were white. I'll take that as a good sign going forward.
-
Getting some flurries now
-
I know what you mean, but patience you might be in a real good spot for this one.
-
You never know, but like our chances something like 2-4 or maybe 3-5 here north of 40 in Iredell County. Good luck to all.
-
Noticing that. I think I will take my chances with hopefully more precip and hope for the best.
-
Had a couple good sleet showers earlier, but not much now.
