6/10"+ QPF for the northern mountains. If things hold I wouldn't be surprised if the Smokies get smoked (haha) with a couple feet up high.

Yeah it's WINDY here. Some of the strongest surface gusts I've had since Helene in the hole here. It's really hard for wind to hit the surface where we are in the holler but it sure is tonight. Sent from my Pixel 10 Pro using Tapatalk

Couple photos from the store today. The lot looks like all of them in Blowing Rock - a solid sheet of ice. They managed to get some busted up so I could share how thick it is. Sent from my Pixel 10 Pro using Tapatalk

3.9º for a low at the house this morning. Temperature shot up to 17º by 8AM, though, which was kinda weird.

We saw this song and dance a couple weeks ago. Later phase by the Euro won.

Just dipped to 9.5. About an inch-ish of powder today but white out conditions many times. Store was closed today, not sure about tomorrow. All the parking lots in Blowing Rock are about 1-1.5" of compressed sleet/slush turned into ice. Could ice skate around easier than drive.

The GFS gets a failing grade just for missing precip amounts so badly. Globals weren't even close, which is fascinating to me but oh well. And Hunter, if I see maps floating around FB of this next storm I might lose my mind. SUNSHINE SUNSHINE SUNSHINE I need a break.

Eh, just ignore them. They're the same group of people that would complain if they got more than forecasted. If 15 years of social media weather and retail have taught me anything its that the dumbest people are the loudest.

Fell back to 35°. It's 27 on several stations literally a quarter mile down the hill. Very windy right here in the first couple hundred feet above the wedge. Sent from my Pixel 10 Pro using Tapatalk

You'll get yours with NWFS tonight/tomorrow. Sent from my Pixel 10 Pro using Tapatalk

Cranked it up to 36º in the last few hours. Got a lovely inch of slush that will be a blast when it refreezes- probably go shovel it off the driveway if it doesn't melt later. Went up like a rocket when the wedge broke. Meanwhile it is still 20/21 in Boone and Blowing Rock.

Still at 17.1 but I can hear the wind up above me now. Little breeze making it to the ground. Light/moderate sleet with ZR mixing in. Where we are we should warm close to or above freezing by lunch-ish tomorrow. Eastern side of the county won't be so lucky.

Temperature has been in free fall southwest of Boone. Been stalled at 17.1/15.4 for about 20 min. Steady sleet/zr everything is slick as owl snot out there. Sent from my Pixel 10 Pro using Tapatalk

Holy cow guys this wedge is wild. Temp still in free fall down to 17.8/15.8 with mix of sleet/ZR. Sent from my Pixel 10 Pro using Tapatalk

Down to 19.8/17.8 here so column just about fully moistened up. Still light sleet for the time being. Backroads were slick AF on my drive home.
