    Ah ok. Thanks man.
  2. Boonelight
    Is that for the southern mountains or is it for the Boone area as well? Haven’t heard anyone mention sleet in Boone so far.
  3. Boonelight
    Yep, just saw that and was about to post. Looks like Blacksburg is on board.

    Incredible write up man. I appreciate the time you took to give us this information! You made this pretty easy to follow, especially for someone like me who doesn’t understand all of the technical aspects of forecasting.
  5. Boonelight
    Night and day for real! No way I had the windows open here. It’s been below freezing all day.
  6. Boonelight
    It is absolutely pouring snow again in Deep Gap. This pic doesn’t do it justice.
  7. Boonelight
    Coming down hard again. Close to 2” here. Love it!
  8. Boonelight
    Can confirm. I’m not downtown, just east of there, and we’ve had several heavy bursts of snow. Didn’t expect this much to be honest.
  9. Boonelight
    Went to bed last night with nothing, but we’ve got 1.5” of fluffy snow here in Deep Gap and it’s still snowing.
  10. Boonelight
    Yep, I completely agree with that. We will just have to see how it evolves. Thanks again man.
  11. Boonelight
    Thanks for the reply Met, I appreciate it. I agree about all the others being most of the problem, and I know it’s going to change from here until the event. They’ll probably need to leave earlier than later in the morning to avoid the worst of it though. I’ll definitely keep an eye on the developments.

    No appreciable snow here, but I guess that could change overnight. I’m getting worried about this weekend, as my GF and daughter are leaving Sunday morning to go to Columbia. Anybody have any insight on how well maintained 421 to I77 is? And further south from there? She’s driving a Subaru, btw. I know we’re just starting to get a handle on this system and things could definitely change, but the trends point to a big snow here and a mess further down into the CLT area.

    Oh man. That’s 28” to 32” at my house. Being this far out, it will most definitely change in the next few days. I’d realistically expect more like 6-10” or so, and wouldn’t be surprised if it were less than that. I can’t believe I’m actually saying that! Having lived in the midlands of SC for 20 years makes you really jaded about snow chances.

    It’s coming down pretty good here, and has been for the last hour or so. I hope this keeps up the whole night! We have at least 3/4” right now.
  15. Boonelight
    Ended up with a dusting overnight. Very light flurries are starting up again here near Deep Gap. 29°
  16. Boonelight
    This is what we ended up with this morning. Everything’s melting now, and the sun is trying to peek out. I hope everyone that lost power gets it back soon!
  17. Boonelight
    Just did the same. 10% rain, 90% sleet. Starting to build up on the deck. Much better than ZR.
  18. Boonelight
    It’s been like that all day here. So nice to see. Such a pretty scene along 421 going into Boone. I don’t think my location got above freezing all day. Just freezing rain here now though. Snow would be nice!
  19. Boonelight
    Just came back from Food Lion on 421 outside of Boone. Starting to get freezing rain here. There was lots of freezing fog on 421 earlier, making quite the winter scene on the trees.
  20. Boonelight
    Yep, I saw the same article in the Democrat. I’m not sure how indicative this is of the larger tree farm situation, but there are 2 huge farms on our road, and one of them has been cutting them for the past week or so. There have been tractor trailer loads of trees going out, and plenty more to cut from what I can see, but I’d get one as soon as you can if you want a live tree.
  21. Boonelight
    Aaaand.... we’re back to ZR. Nice sleet show though. Fun times here at 3200’. 28° ZR on top of .5” of sleet
  22. Boonelight
    Big time sleet near Deep Gap. It’s getting heavier as I stand out here. It’s actually accumulating on my deck and my yard. 29° Heavy sleet 8m E of Boone
  23. Boonelight
    It’s a solid sleet storm here on top of a glaze of ice here east of Boone. Hope it stays this way and we don’t get any more ZR. 29° 8m E of Boone
  24. Boonelight
    30° here east of Boone. Light glaze on my deck and on the trees. Rain is starting to pick up.
  25. Boonelight
    Heath, Timm, good to meet you. I’m David. Timm, I lived in Forest Acres when the floods came. I’ve never witnessed such destruction. Forest Drive was a river. I’m so looking forward to winter here. 32° here with light sleet and rain.
