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 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.

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!

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.

Yep! No dice.

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

I am in the camp of having seen less than five flakes so far. =)

Me too. Not a single flake so far.

Nothing here yet. Though radar seems to depict a heavier blob on my doorstep. This is sad.

It’s going to be an amazing virtual school day at home with nothing falling from the sky. Just. Wow. At the recent NAM.

I've never been so excited about the 15Z SREF... It's rolling!

Yeah, that's my fear, at this point, too. Catawba County Schools are going remote learning tomorrow. It will be so sad if students just have to stare at brown earth all day.

Here's the image from the 09Z SREF for KHKY. Two inches of snow would feel like a really big win at this point.

One is the SREF mean, while another is a single member that someone plucked out.

There will be clear skies overhead of Wolf Laurel and somehow @Buckethead will still snow. I am so jealous. What a fantastic location you have! Snow capital of the SE.

Yeah, we had that same secondary downpour around noon. Wasn’t expecting that one at all, after the main line went through around 7 AM.

I think we have to be careful about saying “Not a single ounce of guidance supports this”. Our NWS GSP Mets are pretty good at their jobs, and they have them for a reason. Just because we don’t see the guidance that supports such a map, doesn’t mean that they don’t see things differently. Granted, this map will continue to be updated, and it could go down or up in the days to come. I tend to agree with you here, and this is what I think the NWS GSP mets may be betting on (for some reason). They must feel the chances for a phase or a more extensive precip shield are higher than what we see from direct model output.
