  1. You'll have to squint. There wasn't much, for sure. Real light stuff blowing in on the wind.
  2. Flurries (very light) here in Pleasant Gardens...but at least there's some snow...
  3. 25.9 for my low...above you. When it's cold and windy, that's my least favorite combination.
  4. I do. I'm at like ~1650'. I've noticed you tend to run a little lower temp than I do fairly consistently. Not sure if my direct proximity to the escarpment has anything to do with it. Elevation doubles directly to my west in mile or so.
  5. 19.3 to your NNW. Colder in Bostic than Pleasant Gardens. Micro climates are fascinating. BTW, Bostic's mayor and I, while not terribly close, have known each other since elementary school.
  6. 3.23 inches of rain for the event here in Pleasant Gardens. Didn't see any flakes last night up to around midnight. We surely needed that rain. I'll stay tuned here for any positive changes in the snow forecast during the weeks ahead. 'Preciate y'all.
  7. From the latest news report I can find on the McDowell wild fires (WLOS): "Officials report as of Friday afternoon, the Locust Cove #2 Fire is 10% contained and the Clear Creek Fire is 0% contained." And: "A spokesperson with the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) says the Locust Cove #2 Fire is currently estimated at 150-200 acres, while the Clear Creek Fire is estimated at 124 acres, as of Friday."
  8. I have not heard/read a thing. They are basically separated by ridges. We know it wasn't lightning. I'm hoping arson isn't involved. Haven't caught up with it today, though. Surely this little bit of rain has helped. Only .11 here at the house, however.
  9. That Clear Creek fire is a little too close for comfort.
  10. Right where I am, the elevation doubles (from ~1700 to ~3400) within a mile or so west. That's bound to play into these comparatively exaggerated amounts of rain we get here sometimes.
  11. 8.87 inches this morning in Pleasant Gardens. Will we make 10?
  12. A surprise dollop of sleet here this morning in Pleasant Gardens. Nice layer on the decks. I guess the skunk is off...sort of. I'll take what I can get.
  13. Looking for some synoptics that give us at least one, before sun angle/climatology have their way.
  14. Having a windy snow shower here in Pleasant Gardens as I head to town.
  15. 13.1/8.4 was the low here at 7am in Pleasant Gardens.
