85snowline

Can the endless chatter regarding WRALs silly % map go somewhere else please. Thx

Call me crazy...and I am.. but talking this storm up(especially it being on a wknd) is good for the economy... period. Grocery stores, Hardware stores, certain clothing items...etc. perfect opportunity to clear some shelves and rake in the $$$.Capitalism at it's best... '-/

This thing is sooo far out yet. I'm going to take a deep breathe and enjoy the dance over the next few days. 35yrs of watching winter weather in Rowan and Cabarrus Counties and I've seen forecasts for storms that literally never developed(yikes) to storms that developed by the minute('93). Keep in mind we see our biggest snowstorms from mid Feb to mid March outside the high country. Hopefully the fun is just beginning...

Afton Village is awesome.. A bit congested these days.. but.... winter wx in Cabarrus County literally makes me crazy. I'm basically on the border w/ Harrisburg between 29 and 49. It's all about now-casting in these parts.

Concord- Hate anyplace N of HWY 73 .... I REALLY hate anyplace N of HWY 152

Can you imagine all the meteorologist from N.Alabama, N.Ga, SC Upstate, and all of NC are already beating their heads against the wall. Wonder when Brad Panovich will post something???

Concord here.. already screaming. I know how this plays out imby. Snow ..ice..more ice.... we do better when the ULL swings through at the end. Meanwhile I'm already hating myself for following this thread...

For those that are robbed by the warm nose during "main" event... the upper level low the next day becomes the main event very often.

The good news is more favorable pattern shift for snow. The bad news is the warm nose has really screwed Concord the past 10yrs. No doubt global warming is a factor. Still a good 75 days for a perfect setup. We are all due another 93 or 96

Large Snow flakes quickly mixing here in Concord. I cannot believe my eyes.!!!! I don't even care if it sticks. Enjoy all. And loving the pictures!

Traffic cams show snow falling at mm 27.7 on 77. That is between Cornelius and Huntersville. Also snow at 85business split in Lexington.

Traffic cam on 77 shows snow has made it down to mile marker 34.7. Mecklenburg County starts/ends at mile marker 30. Mooresville folks seeing snow per the cams. I am 5 miles as the crow flies from Mooresville. Also it is 38/36 now in Concord.

Snowing yet? Concord NC wind gust of 41mph. It's ominous sounding to say the least.

Where is Stuart?

Concord here. 42 and the wind has been unbelievably strong for about 8hrs. Gusts to 30mph at times. Hoping the trees imby don't fall on the house. Checking traffic cams and looks like Rutherford County is snow now....also as usual.W-S is quickly changing to snow. The sky is brightening so looking forward to a few flakes even here on the dreaded 85snowline. Can anyone outside of the mountains verify snow?

Yeah, I watched some guy on YouTube talk about a 50/50 chance of a decent snowstorm in the South. I started laughing. Outside of of our NC mountains, snow and storm do not get together in November here..lol

Expecting some patchy frost here in Concord on wed and thur nights. Lows around 36. Expecting widespread frost friday/Saturday nights. Lows right at 33 those nights.

Wow, trending EVEN COLDER, For Concord Sat night-43 Sun night-41 Mon night-42 Patchy frost for sure if these verify. Always tends to take a nose dive around 6-630 during radiational cooling.

Hey thanks for this. Just seeing it. Awesome.

Trending cooler at night next week. 42 for Concord Tuesday night. A bit of light frost wouldn't be surprising. Would imagine Statesville, Hickory etc will see an official frost.

Pretty sure it dipped into the upper 40s here in Concord early this am. LOVE THAT!

Oh that's right.. I remember Al Conklin mentioning that on WBTV now. And people still think Climate change doesn't affect all of us. SMH. Thanks.

Ditto here in SW Concord on the Harrisburg/Concord line. I really observe the radars especially in summer and something strange this year. Seemed like Highland Creek and NW Cabarrus from about 85 and points N got the rain. It's like 85 has an invisible wall that just didnt budge much this year. I honestly sat on my porch and with the quietness of nighttime could hear the hum of the wind and rain of nearby storms but nothing. Strange. If you study satellite maps of NE Charlotte into Cabarrus, a TON of tree canopy has been wiped out in last 15yrs. The Speedway area has no trees. Burton Smith and Concord Mills BLVD were clear cut for all the stuff in that area. 485 saw clear cutting. And the industrial parks around Concord Airport saw more loss of trees. Tree canopy and loss of it changes an area and I think were seeing some proof of this recently in this area. Just my 3 cents. Good luck on rain in LKN.

Driving out of Charlotte to Concord at 930am today... man did it look hazy. That 85N drive in the am has the sun in your face. It's basically due EAST on 85 from Gastonia to the 29/49 split past Sugar Creek. I'm so sick of humidity and mosquitoes!!! Any signs of a nice cold front soon?
