Nothing coming down in NW Catawba here in Hickory, despite the radar returns indicating otherwise. The direction of this flow is different than normal, though, which may explain the returns that are breaking containment. It's almost due north, just a few degrees west of that.

I seriously think this thread should be renamed the Jan 30-31 event. Outside of our VA posters, most people saw more wintry precipitation yesterday than they did today. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

From NWS GSP:

32.0/31 here now. It's iffy.
-
850s and 925s are still below freezing above me, but I'm not sure how long that will last. Of course, the SPC pages are not matching with the really low temps that some of our mountain folk are currently reporting either.
-
I'm stuck at 32.7/32. That's not gonna cut it for freezing rain. Of course, snow or sleet could still fall before the upper levels completely roast, but we will see...

Ended up with a dusting. Beautiful to watch fall, but it didn't amount to too much. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Light snow in Hickory. 38.7/26 right now. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

RDPS/RGEM also bringing back frozen precipitation into the foothills and western piedmont of North Carolina on Monday. Interesting...

They referenced Davie in their discussion:

You're probably looking at the more likely (though still debatable) Kuchera output rather than the 10:1 output that was posted above.

...unless you are in the immediate lee of the Apps.

Went hiking up to Rich Mountain Fire Tower yesterday on AT outside Hot Springs in Madison County. Snow on ground in spots from about 3200 feet and up. At top (3600 ft), up to four inches of snow still on the ground on the north slope of the mountain. The trail was actually quite icy at the summit. The views from the fire tower were amazing yesterday. No wind, clear blue sky, 360-degree views, snow visible on all the higher peaks in every direction. I love winter hiking.

Nice to see multiple threats show up on the 12Z GFSv16 today. Hours 138, 198, and 324 all show potential for snowfall in the SE. Different types of systems in each case, and still way out in the future, but they demonstrate what is possible when we have an active storm track and some blocking. I am excited about the possibilities...

NWS GSP having fun this afternoon...

Legit light to moderate snow now here in Lenoir. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Light flurries in Lenoir, NC! Seeing snow two out of four straight days is a win for non-mountainous areas. [emoji16] Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Just left an appointment in Lenoir, NC. I can report light flurries! Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Regardless of Webb's maps, your forecast was the closest to verification of anyone's that I saw,@griteater . Much better than the TV mets and the NWS on this one, especially outside the mountains. Well done, sir. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Also, no 3-inch totals in Lenoir. I have family that lives there, and I visited Saturday morning. Most of the snow was already gone by then, if not in shade. Maybe they had an inch, at best, prior to melting commencing. I would question anyone's measurement ability if they think they got 3 inches of snow in Lenoir, except perhaps on top of Hibriten Mt (the mountain with the lit star at Christmas).

I would also contend that no one in Hickory had an inch of snow. Two dustings (one at dawn and one at 4 PM) might add up to 0.5 inch, though. Baker's Mt in Catawba County did have between 1-2 inches, but not Hickory. Their elevation sure helped, I suppose. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk
