Wicked lightning in Marion with this storm creeping in from the north.

Woke up to it pouring rain under only one spec of a green radar return parked over the mountain I’m on.  Atmosphere is juiced, get under any kind of return and it comes down quick. 

Been listening to it thunder south of here since like noon, storm around Cantsn may finally creep over the mountain but I’d be fine if it didn’t.  Felt good for late June on the front porch this morning.

Another day of noisy thunderstorms all around and not a drop of rain. 

I’d be glad to share some rain lol

Looks like more rain today and some severe weather possible tomorrow with another strong front. Pretty rare for basically the first of June. 

I’d like some dryness and sustained periods of sun at some point soon, but these temps sure are great! 

Seems like I took the good weather with me to WY this weekend.

Gorgeous pictures guys!

Ended up getting down to 32 but no flakes that I saw. Currently a cold 36 still. 

Snow line here appears to be up around 4000’ when looking at the backside of Chambers Mtn.

Huge bolt of lightning just hit up from me hitting a tree. Dang this storm means business. 

I was driving back from Sylva in it.  Lightning put on a show along with the heavy rain!

Getting out and measuring some protected spots maybe have me closer to 1.5” here.  Hard to tell because there’s no consistent depth anywhere but more sheltered places had the most consistency.

A nice snow overnight. The wind was ripping all night but I'd say an inch of snow and a low of 24 degrees. 

Yea hard to know how much with the wind blowing everything around but I’d say about an inch here as well if I had to guess.

Moderate snow and grapuel mix, somewhere between 1/2” and an inch thus far.

Dusting even at the bottom of the mountain at 3200’ when I got home earlier.  Tapered off a bit now, thinking an inch is doable overnight.

Not there. Up Wesley's creek Fines creek

That was my first thought but couldn’t remember what the elevation is there. I love that view of Sandy Mush and Crabtree Baldes from the top!

This is almost like connective snow coming across the tops of the mountains and down into the valley. Just starting to lay around 4500'

Max Patch?

20 degrees and 1/4-1/2” here, hard to say with how it’s been blown all around.

Yep deck is covered along with the top of the truck.  Coming down moderately. 

All But shut down here for the time being last I checked.  Deck and vehicles are white, leaves are too, muddy ground is not lol.

I'm right on your heels.

Yep. Furious little flakes here, slowly starting to whiten up everything. 

All Snow here, coming down good enough to call it moderate but just the tiniest of flakes.  

Diamond dust here as well, holding steady at 7 degrees.  Did see a windchill of -4 earlier, -1 now. Coldest temp I see around here on stations is -1 on Mt Lynn Lowry. 

Looks like about an inch here today while I’ve been gone. Like 2.5-3” total for this week.  Nickel and diming my way this year, probably sitting around 15” for the year if I had to bet.  I really feel like Crabtree and Sandymush Balda downslope me somewhat compared to other flow snow areas out here. Max Patch area is the place to be!

Nice! What gym you go to?

All About Fitness in Waynesville, I like that it’s 24/7

Just got home. Cold as a well digger! Current temp of 11 with about a quarter inch on the ground.  Flurries currently but the flow didn't set up well for me today. It's literally a ridge over. Maybe @WxKnurdgot covered up better.

I’ll find out here In An hour after the gym, but definitely looked socked in my way driving back into town on 40 and 74

Should be on and off snow all day and into this evening along the border.

Yep, get under a band and it’s instant stickage, sunny and dry pavement when not under one. Slick spots sneak up on you today guys, ask ms how I know lol. We’ll see how much I come home to tonight. Hoping to squeeze out at least an inch for a nice send off to Colorado.  Epic conditions out there these past 7 days for the first time in a few years. 

1/4”-ish here as well but just flurries to light snow currently
