I would imagine South Mtn State Park is getting crushed right now. 

Everyone pause, look at radar and take a moment to salute and appreciate meso lows and lee enhancement

Snow is much smaller and lighter right now. Hoping it picks back up later this morning.

Radar slowly improving. Fingers crossed. More of a south easterly fetch present. 

From about an hour ago. Just beautiful. Falling lightly since but heavier banding showing up on radar.

I just looked at a bit of the modeling. I'm walking a fine line between good and amazing here in Hickory. RAP, HRRR, etc. paint the heaviest westward line right at the Caldwell/Catawba Counties border.

I think we’ll be fine. You can see the forcing to our south filling everything in. Also be wary of the Catawba County radar hole. The same one that caused GSP to miss a deadly tornado years ago.

About 2” on the ground

Just released about ten minutes ago. So, this is on top of what has already fallen:

Don’t mind if I do!

3.2 inches so far. We got under a good band most of the night near the Blue Ridge (reverse downsloping hah)

Fgen just now starting to crank too

Back to chicken feathers. Heaviest rates of the event ongoing. 

Models clearly showing some containment breaking later this evening as the flow snow kicks on

Wake up @calculus1, we’re getting smoked

We’re on Haystack Road. 
Im 64 and have seen many storm. 
But I’ve never seen 3 in sleet like we had last weekend and Snow at 20 degrees. 
It’s awesome. 

I know Haystack road well. This Bannertown boy used to date a girl out that way when I was in high school. 

Damnit I’m going to have to crack open a beer at 7 am. Heavy snow. Over an inch already. 23°

Who ordered some fgen? You like that snow boy?

I like that term.  
I’m in Surry Co and it been snowing steady since around 8:30 last night. 
Nothing heavy just steady. 
Bird eye view I would say we have about 4 in. and it still snowing.Temperature is 20 degrees so that’s a 20 to 1 ratio

 

 

Hold it down up there on my behalf. I grew up in Mount Airy.

Closing in on an inch

Absolutely thumping

It’s absolutely dumping chicken feathers here

HRRR keeps delaying the onset here..

The HRRR missed onset in Tenn by like 8 hrs. Wouldn’t put a ton of stock into it

Just got a pic from family in Mount airy. It’s thumping at his house.

Wouldn’t be shocked if this party starts before midnight. You can see the low level moisture starting to break out on radar, even at tilt 1

Had the strayest of stray flurries when I took our dog out

Enjoy everyone! Been a long time.
