Been a while since southern OH racked up snow like this. That's a great looking stripe on top of snow last night and last weekend. Lots of preseason forecasts had that TN and OH valley area as the sweet spot. So far it is 100% verifying.

My drive thru lady at the Bojangles in Walkertown said she heard there is going to be a snow blizzard between the 18th-20th. I trust her with my food. Now I must trust her with my forecast. Bank it!

Intensity dropping like a rock now. Moisture mostly done and temps will soon cause the real issue of the day....black ice. PM rush hour and tonight will he horrible with untreated roads. Down to 33°.

Ground covered in Stuart VA at the farm and now snowing nicely in Kernersville. No more mix.

Snowing at a decent rate on the farm cams in Stuart

We're going to see token flurries as this system pulls away and we wave goodbye. Temps shot up to 38 with DPs to match.

Just need some moisture here in the Triad. Already 2° colder than modeled at 33°. We could sneak down to freezing soon with no cloud cover. Don't you Virginia boys wreck a forum party!

School closings gotta be coming soon for the Triad and northern counties, right? If they closed for Friday, this is modeled as a higher impact event during school hours. Really curious to see what WSFCS does here.

Didn't wake up to the advisories, but there they are! Should be an interesting morning. Nowcasting will be required!

We're going to wake up to some advisories tomorrow? This is looking more legit than Friday's whiff and we cancelled school from VA to FL for that nonsense! Models definitely not backing down inside of 48 hours.

Everything you said here is the equivilent of me just watching Stranger Things. As a matter of fact, what do you want to bet they are having a Miller A in the Upside Down! It's the only thing that makes sense!

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.
