Check that! We have a few orphan flakes floating down now! You have to wait 10 seconds in between flakes, but they are present. Nice! (It's amazing with what poor snowfall rates will create excitement when you have been snow-starved for so long...)

Still nary a flake in Hickory. The radar returns evaporate as soon as they approach the Catawba River (marking the boundary between Caldwell and Catawba counties).

It remains all rain here in Hickory. Nary a flake to be seen. As usual.

Those are awesome, @eyewall! I love how the reds (bricks, leaves, trunks, pillars) stand out!

Yeah, 42/35 doesn’t seem like ripe conditions to see any accumulating snowfall. #itdoesntsnowanymore .

20.8 was my low here in NW Hickory. .

True, but we haven’t gotten that one snowfall in any of the past five years. It’s been a complete famine here east of the mountains, and that graphic shows how stark our situation has been compared to the rest of the country. Let’s change the trend…

Doesn’t need to flip until December, at the earliest. No sense wasting all the good teleconnections in November, when most of us can’t get snow anyway, despite the upper air patterns. .

My in-laws measured a bit over 1 inch in Black Mountain. They must be at lower elevations (near Owen HS) than wherever @Hvward has his home.

We hit a low of 24.6 around 5:30 AM. Back up to 29 right now.

Snowing really good in Cullowhee at WCU right now. I’ve been FaceTiming with my daughter there. She was letting me vicariously enjoy a Jeb walk as she walked around campus. It’s been coming down really well for the past couple of hours there. A truly beautiful early season gift for that community, and Cullowhee doesn’t tend to get big snows being down in the valley like they are. It’s amazing the joy that crystallized water falling out of the sky can bring…

Getting ready to snow in Wilmington, it appears. Wow! .

We’re trying not to cry that it’s easier to get snow in SC than it is in the NW Piedmont and Foothills of NC. [emoji16] Five horrible winters in a row have taken a toll… Seriously, though, that is awesome for those getting snow so early. Those kids must be loving it! November snow is an amazingly rare treat outside of the mountains, much more so in the Sandhills. .

I saw zero flakes here in Hickory. As usual, it jumps right over us in the immediate lee of the Apps. On another note, it’s already down to 32! .

It's crazy dark and windy here in Hickory. Feels and looks like snow. Raging virga storm on radar.
