Really impressed with what fell overnight. 8” and trees are really starting to bend.

Pretty heavy snow in Old Fort right now. Haven’t measured since around 9 but looks around 4 or 5 inches out there. Very pasty and sticking to everything

Steady snow but not much accumulating as of yet. Ready to see how the night turns out

Quick switchover to all snow. Hoping we can see the accumulation overcome the puddles and wet ground.

Your location says Boone but I take it your somewhere else?

Haha. yea I’m down in McDowell County for this storm. 

Have a little bit of snow mixing in. 

Still rain down here. It’s actually been quite moderate at times.

Thought about heading up to my grandparents house at the foot of gateway. Thinking he may get raked up there. Plus he has wood stove! 

Not far from me at all. Definitely snowing along the higher peaks!

Hold out hope? Old fort may jackpot. The snow was never forecasted to begin here until after dark. Patience 

Patience is virtue not many possess during storms! Haha. 

Just plain old rain down here in Old Fort. Trying to hold out some hope

Gfs control run appears to remain an outlier. Ensemble mean now 20+ inches in asheville 

I just moved to Chapel Hill/Durham as well. Winters aren’t going to be as fun as they were in Boone but I’m hoping for a decent storm or two down here.

This has been a depressing collapse to watch up here. EPS from the 29th vs today. 

 

I'm pretty disappointed too. Thought we had our first real shot up here. 

It shouldn't take you too long to find a good ice storm in Old Fort...how long have you been there?

Lived here all my life (20 years) so ive seen some good snow storms but no ice storms stick out in my mind. The 2000s really sucked here. Asheville west would get snow, South Carolina would get snow and I remember the big Charlotte storm and we got 2 inches I think. So 2009-2011 really spoiled me and I would love to have that on a more consistent basis. 

1. Snow

2.Freezing Rain

3.Sleet

4.Rain

5.Sunshine

I think Freezing Rain can make for some incredible picture moments but it usually melts so quickly that I rarely have a chance. Ive also never been in a big ice storm in my life but I want to at some point
