Sometimes I feel like the weather is mocking me  image is from weather prediction center Twitter account.  I mean it snowed in Southern Louisiana but not here?

I think it was mostly rain where I am.  Some ice on the trees.  Is it safe to say that I won’t have anymore ice today?  I am not a fan.

Did y’all see the mesoscale discussion? https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md0061.html

   Areas affected...Southern Appalachians and Vicinity

   Concerning...Heavy snow 

   Valid 070308Z - 070715Z

   SUMMARY...Heavy snow, with rates exceeding 1 in/hr, expected this
   evening over the southern Appalachians, perhaps changing to freezing
   rain in a few spots after 04z-05z.

   DISCUSSION...Recent mesoanalysis shows an amplifying mid-level
   short-wave trough approaching the region, with strong/broad
   southwesterly deep-layer flow and large-scale ascent occurring ahead
   of this system. Regional radar shows a broad precipitation shield
   that continues to expand and overspread the area. As low-levels of
   the atmosphere continue to saturate, surface temperatures have
   fallen several degrees in the past few hours, with areas in/near the
   higher terrain falling below freezing. Consequently, the
   precipitation type across eastern portions of the Carolinas has
   switched to snow, with some locations reporting moderate snow.

   As the amplifying short-wave continues its approach, several more
   hours of broad ascent and renewed precipitation development is
   expected. Presently, it appears frozen precipitation types should be
   confined to the higher terrain regions in proximity to the southern
   Appalachians. Snowfall rates near 1 in/hr can be expected initially.
   Forecast soundings indicate very strong low-level warm-air advection
   (50 kt flow in the 750-700 mb layer) that may result in a period of
   mixed precipitation. Should this occur, some locations could also
   experience freezing-rain rates near 0.06 in/3-hr after around
   04z-05z.

Still snowing and about 2.5 inches here. 28 degrees.  Nice blanket of white.

Man its so peaceful outside. The snow acts like a natural sound buffer and everything is still and quiet when its snowing. 

That’s one of my favorite things about snow.  It’s like the absence of sound.  Nice for a migraine, too.  I hope you feel better soon.  

About an inch and snowing lightly. 30 degrees. 

Moderate to heavy snow with nice size flakes.  Ground is turning white. Beautiful.  I was worried it wasn’t going to snow till dark.  I don’t care as much about it sticking; I really love watching it fall.

Snow stopped for a little while but now it’s really picked up quite a bit.  33 degrees here

Light snow here in Cruso 

38 degrees and very cloudy.

Much better spot than the last few rounds.

I forget, what is your elevation and how far south down 276 are you (no need to be specific, landmarks are fine)? 

I am right before camp hope at about 3300.

I’ll be ok with that   it’s nice to be at the higher end of the map.

I don’t have snow.  I have sparkly snow dust and crazy loud wind.  You can hear it rushing between the mountains. Kinda sounds like a hurricane without the rain.

Nothing in Cruso but I am not expecting anything at all.  I hope all of you cash in, though!  Post pictures 

It’s raining here.  Must have gotten more snow late last night/early morning but it’s thick slush now. Looks like the nw flow areas are going to get hammered tomorrow.  Good luck!  I’ll try not to be too envious 

It’s super windy down here, too.

Well at least for now it’s snowing pretty good here in Cruso!  Solid dusting on the ground

37 degrees here in Cruso.  I don’t like GSPs ice forecast.  I’d take rain or nothing over ice any day of the week.

Big flaked flurries off and on here in Cruso. A very cold 29 degrees.

Still snowing here.  Just a dusting since nothing has been really sticking.

Really coming down with Big fat flakes here.  Love days like this even if it doesn’t stick.  Got a fire in the fireplace.  I could work and look out my window and watch this all day long. 

Surprise snow shower here in Cruso!

The snow has really picked up here as well.

The past three years have been extremely wet. North of 110" for Highlands each year 2018 - 2020

Last Easter the pigeon surrounded my house coming up to the top of my porch steps and my car floated down the river.  It happen at night and it was very scary.  Flooding is no joke.

How do you post pics?

When you are writing your message you select “click to choose files” but if you are taking them on your phone you might have to download an app that reduces the size of the file.  That is what I had to do.
