Maybe there will be some sleigh tracks across the south for Christmas this year. As long as the cold keeps dumping, we have a chance!

Ground is 80% covered at the farm in Stuart at 1400'. Nothing here in the triad. Back to the models.....

Raining and 44° here in the triad. This is a non-starter. Next!

Absolutely nothing gets past you.

Here is the ring. Anyone want to take a stab at why this formed? Ice crystals?

Anybody in the triad go outside and check out the moon ring. Thats nuts!! When I figure out how to post a photo I will.

Who is going to mention ground temps?!? They're cold for once! Nearly every rain drop will stick. I'm a skeptic until the mulch is white.

This is a very different answer for your area of VA vs most of the NC foothills. Showing a bit more snow for you. Model runs later tonight should be interesting to see if the trends hold.

Not trolling, just a novice observation and welcome any explanations. But I am so tired of seeing the comment about "snowpack being laid down will help us" every single year. Anyone want to elaborate on why snowpack across the mountains and 500 miles northwest will help our battle against a nearly decade long SER problem? Sure it may help with cold-er air chasing our moisture from the southern stream. But I honestly cannot recall a single event where snowpack was featured as the reason our temps were favorable enough to enable a winter storm. What's the thinking here? (And any case studies?)

"It only takes one storm....." in 3, 2, 1.......

My obs....COLD AF....and it took one day of the heat coming on to make me sick. Happens every year! I need a humidifier asap. What a completely unreasonable event yesterday!

Snowing in Mooresville!

Daughter sent me a video of snow in Mooresville. Lake Norman area is seeing a good shower!

All I can think about regarding the recovery is mold. Everywhere. Helene was terrible here in the NC mountains with mold remediation needs. But in Jamaica with no power for months and the high heat and humidity, its going to be awful. Lot of folks starting over there. And they should seriously be looking at concrete printed homes. Never a better case study than now.

Thats a photo of my Jan 2026 winter storm right over Forsyth County. Snowing at 60" per hour right under those clouds.
