Steady light snow here. Almost 7.5 inches.

The snow tapered to flurries very briefly, but now it's back snowing moderately again. This is crazy! According to @WXNewton's observation, it's been snowing in Hickory solidly since 3-4 AM. That's amazing! What a storm!

6.5 inches and counting in Hickory, NC, the NW corner of Catawba County. Snow is coming down hard right now, too, even though radar doesn't show it.

This zone has been getting pounded all day. 

Isn't that over the area where @jburns used to reside? Archdale area? Maybe there's another grill shot we can get from that area in his memory.

Snowing really hard in jacksonville.

So, the wolves are coming out in Jacksonville??

It is ripping outside! Radar looks paltry, but this is the strongest all day!

Yeah, the snow has never let up here, it continues to fall. Small flakes, but it adds up over time.

Just measured 6.5 inches on the deck. I've been out sledding with the family. Not the greatest sledding weather, but I don't care. I love this pow! This is Aspen and Whistler type snow!

5 inches in NE Hickory.

I just measured 5 inches on the deck. Snow still falling beautifully. The flakes are tinier, but it's still robust.

This band has been absolutely hammering MBY the past 1 hr and half. Not really moving but definitely, 1"+ hr rates. 

Yeah, I'm just outside that band, but it's been hammering.

20.5 degrees and 3.5 inches of light powder here in NE Hickory, NC.

Seems like this could go on until 10pm - 12am in the foothills…. I like it.

You really think it would continue that late?

3.5 inches so far here. 20.5 degrees. Snowing very nicely right now.

Much larger flakes and intensity right now. Really coming down well. 3 inches total.

20 degrees and blowing snow makes for a chilly walk, but I love it!

 

Been out walking for the past 45 minutes or so with the fam. Rates have been moderate, occasionally picking up in intensity. I am almost at three inches total, but hoping for an uptick this afternoon.

Snow is much smaller and lighter right now. Hoping it picks back up later this morning.

The snow is so light and fluffy, it falls through the board cracks on the deck. Wow.

Wind picking up now, went on a jeb walk. I'm afraid downsloping is about to begin here. Rates have decreased.

I just looked at a bit of the modeling. I'm walking a fine line between good and amazing here in Hickory. RAP, HRRR, etc. paint the heaviest westward line right at the Caldwell/Catawba Counties border.

Just released about ten minutes ago. So, this is on top of what has already fallen:

It began here around 12:30 am but light until 2 or 3 am. 

Yeah, I was going off @WXNewton's post for my start time. He's essentially 20 minutes to my south and east.

Right at two inches here in NE Hickory, NC! Beautiful snowfall. Very light and fluffy. Any wind at all just picks it up and blows it around. 21 F outside.

It's a little scary living on the edge of this precipitation blob. If the ULL digs too far, I suppose the rates could drop significantly.

I just measured a hair under two inches so far. Based on previous posts in this thread, I'm assuming it began around 3-4 AM, so I've averaged close to half-inch per hour rates so far.

Yes, just turned much heavier here. This is beautiful! Pouring snow right now.

Wake up [mention=4420]calculus1[/mention], we’re getting smoked

I’m up now! It’s beautiful! Not too heavy, but so beautiful. Very light and fluffy. Somewhere between an inch and two so far. 21.3 outside. Looks like I’m on the northeastern edge of the precipitation shield right now.

Absolutely loved that ECMWF run! Wowza! I love having the ECMWF in our corner for once. That is so rare. Usually, we are going the other way. Let's go!!
