    This is most helpful. Thanks for the clarification on what is considered a trace. It also confirms my suspected conversion factor was pretty much spot on: 5280 T = 1 in. .

    I grant that a few flakes may have been seen in the air on these dates, but nothing was measurable. If that counts as a trace, so be it. I need a skiff, or a dash, or a dusting, or a coating, or some other such word before I would call it even remotely measurable. .

    Both sets of maps are horribly wrong for Hickory and Catawba County. Definitely no measurable snow has accumulated in our county, not even a single trace, much less multiple instances. I don’t know where those numbers are coming from. Regardless, I remember when we used to measure snowfall in inches, not traces. How many traces make an inch? Three? Twelve? 5280?

    Made it down to 10.8 F IMBY this morning at 6:33 AM. Brrr!! .

    ^ If I had a nickel for every time NE NC and SE VA got in on the snow action the past several years...

    It didn't last long, and radar does not look promising for much (if any) more, but it was fun to see fall for a few minutes. Mood flakes!

    It is snowing outside here in Hickory! Completely unexpected.
  8. calculus1
    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! .
  22. calculus1
    It's crazy dark and windy here in Hickory. Feels and looks like snow. Raging virga storm on radar.
  23. calculus1
    2.92 for me
  24. calculus1
    I picked up almost one half inch between midnight at 6:30 AM. That was after another 0.2 between 6-9 PM. Rainfall is also on our doorstep again this morning. This is all very welcome.

    I will gladly trade above average late September for below average August. Seems like an obvious win to me. .
