Last few days in Australia. Getting sent to Anchorage Alaska next. Lol. Well I guess that historic snowstorm in GA last month was just the warm-up for Alaska.

I love Anchorage. Spent a summer there about 20 years ago. Have been back on several summer trips since then. Never experienced a winter, though. Are you in the military? Going to be stationed at JBER?

Well, it was fun while it lasted. Back to clear blue skies now:

Just measured here at Riverbend Park.  We squeezed out a quarter inch.

Yeah, basically the same for me. On the elevated surfaces here, its between 0.3 and 0.4 inch.

Here's the radar loop of this morning's event. There were some bright green returns in their for a bit. We snowed for a couple of hours here in NE Hickory. Our final total appears to be between 0.3 and 0.4 inch.

I can see blue sky from the park right now.

Yeah, I can see it off in the distance, too. Just a few quiet flakes falling right now.

It’s about over here, but what a nice little AM treat!

That set of colorful houses near the cemetery is so photogenic in the snowfall. Nice shots, @eyewall.

You can see the back edge of the disturbance approaching on the App State Hickory cam right now.

Pushing a half inch here and snowing steady. Just cold enough for all snow. The upper level low saved us here. 

A half inch already! Wow. We have a solid dusting -- on everything because the ground is so cold. At least it's measurable and continues to fall.

This is great! I love it! Everything is sticking instantaneously, too, with it being 26 outside. The road is whitening; my driveway is whitening.

Snowing pretty good right now! Deck is covered. Let's see what we can do with this...

Radar looks promising, but it also appears to be a fast mover.

It's snowing awesome right now. Actually sticking now that the temp is below freezing, too. Let's go!

This mess is a season of snow season has been insulting and disrespectful 

...

Finally, far too many on this subforum here while always talking about NC weather that is 9 out 10 times that it's the Triangle or Raleigh like Charlotte is irrelevant. IRL Charlotte is a way larger region than the Triangle. I see why so few of us post because this is annoying.

This seems to be an odd thing to complain about. We can't control where the people live that happen to join American Weather and like to post. And, naturally, people like to talk about the weather in their backyards. Apparently, the RDU area has a much greater membership on this site, per capita, than does Charlotte. It is what it is. If you want more talk about Charlotte, you can create the content yourself or convince your neighbors to join and post content. I would encourage both options.

It's started snowing again here, too. It is on COD radar, base reflectivity, tilt 1.

Back edge of the precip appears to be here in Hickory now. Snow is slacking off. What might have been...

Nothing on the ground here yet, but it has been snowing steadily for about a half hour right now. Been beautiful to look at. I didn't expect this consistent snowfall based off radar and model trends.

lol. No sooner did you post this, GSP updated the advisory to extend until noon tomorrow. Coating - an inch possible with the ULL. We’ll see. 

Ha! Shows you what I know and why I am not employed by NWS GSP. I sure do hope they are correct.

Sounds like tomorrow would have been a better day for virtual school rather than today.

I would be surprised if they don't cancel the WWA for Catawba County at the next update. Here's the point-and-click for North Hickory. If I do the math, less than half an inch, times three, can still be zero. That's my official prognostication, unfortunately.

The sun is trying to break through here...

I have a few flakes making the journey down from the heavens, too.

Still only the solitary flake I saw around 8 AM this morning.

Downsloping, FTW!

Both the 3k and 12k had hardly any snow in the foothills.

And, they have been spot on, unless you are closer to the Blue Ridge. Only McDowell and Caldwell counties reporting any snowfall that I have seen.

It's right over us on radar and not one flake.

Yep! No dice.

I'm at Riverbend Park now and haven't seen any flakes yet.

COD Radar shows a heavy slug of moisture on our doorstep moving SW to NE. Maybe this will finally break through.
