Down to freezing on top of Mitchell. Snow accumulating pretty good at Newfound Gap, TN. Hope you guys do well.

Wouldn’t have helped CLT (most likely) but frustrated for y’all further east that this “coastal” isn’t going to get going. If this was a true Miller A with a costal forming near and riding up the coast, the triangle and points east would be getting a foot. Thinking that’s what the NAM was honking on in its monster runs. 

Wonder if there is any ground truth to that band building back just east of hickory. Weird. Not a deform band, right?

Still coming down. Maybe picked up a bit. Could this be the pivot?!?! 

Just took a great walk with the wife and dogs. Snow has gotten lighter, drier, and finer. Not snowing hard enough currently to keep up with melting at the moment. Wind starting to whip. I'd say we've gotten a half inch on the most elevated surfaces. Doubt we see any additional accumulation at this rate.

Brad P saying the precip shield should pivot some and extend until 10 PM or so for the metro. Hope so. 

Down to 33 here in Madison Park. Beautiful drive from the office in Fort Mill. Ripping chicken feathers and just starting to coat the grass/elevated surfaces.

Looks like the back end is moving through somewhat quickly, but Brad P saying it could continue to 10 PM. Interesting.

Parents just sent me a picture from North Ridge in Raleigh. Ground and elevated surfaces completely white already. Hours and hours of snow to come. Very jealous.

Am I seeing things, or are returns starting to diminish a bit as they cross out of SC? Dryslotting starting to occur for WNC?

Damn, it is dumping in Statesville right now. Jealous. Webcam: https://www.wcnc.com/statesville-camera

Starting to snow pretty good up atop the Vue uptown. Temp has tanked from 42 to 37 in the last hour.

Do people just not realize there's an OBS thread?

The most fantastic cold rain I've ever experienced.  Who needs snow when you can watch this stuff fall.

It's coming. The rain/snow line must be more west to east through the Metro than north/south for some reason. Probably heavier returns coming from the SW.

Big flakes mixing in now finally off Billy Graham Parkway in CLT. Here's a webcam view from WCNC.

18z is waaaay better for us in the norther CLT suburbs. Seems to be showing less of a lee side minimum.... time will tell if it is on to something

It's gotta be on crazy pills. Northern burbs over-perform southern/eastern burbs 97% of the time.

Based on the CC, looks like the rain/snow line is moving pretty quickly SE through the update and N GA. Knocking on the Meck county door. Surprisingly, my in-laws near Lincolnton are reporting all rain at the moment.

I feel like 10+ people have asked (including me already), but can someone link the CC radar? Can't find it on the GSP site, and don't have it bookmarked anymore.

Heavy snow being reported by some in Knoxville, TN. They're showing as primarily rain on the radar. That can't be a bad thing.

Can someone share a good CC radar? I can't find the one I used to have bookmarked. 

Rain/sleet earlier on the way into the office in Fort Mill. Interesting that my temp at the house in Madison Park was 44 but driving ~12 miles south it dropped to 40. Heavier returns/dynamic cooling I guess.

It’s 43 in CLT. Ain’t no fun to be had.

GFS seemed anemic at 0z. Radar trends say otherwise. Can we avoid the cold rain? Stayed tune.

Dude, you can be really insufferable. By far the most negative poster on here it seems. 

Yeah CLT had about 30 min of decent clearing around sunset. Cloudy again.

Here's the end of the HRRR run at 4am tomorrow morning, at the end of it's run. Notice the 800mb temp has not went up, and the cold/dry air has really funneled in to the lower levels thanks to the NE fetch.

Gonna take a long time to wetbulb if you're starting at 44.

When burger left, the Bermuda Snow triangle went back into full effect. Just brutally painful run of winters for CLT proper and the southern metro.
