Over an inch of rain with this cell so far in the past couple hours.

Air temp dropped from 55 to 39 in half an hour earlier today. Saw some snow mix in with the rain this afternoon in Blowing Rock, looks like the Parkway saw some heavy stuff up around the Viaduct and up.

3.5" since midnight so far. Local streams were rocking when I got off work. Had some straight up mini tropical depressions rolling through this afternoon. Definitely not helping the 105 mess they're trying to clean up.

I rented a telephoto lens and dealt with some serious light rings/abberation which sucked. Still managed some solid pics out of it and it was an absolutely amazing experience. So much better than 2017 if nothing else due to the length. At 4m 8s of totality I really had time to enjoy it. These were all taken from Herrin, Illinois. I hope to have a time lapse video together soon as well.

Solid half inch on raised surfaces like the porch and cars but nothing sticking to the ground. Had a couple of decent showers roll through in the last little bit.

I saw thundersnow in April of 2016 or 2017 (one of my first couple years up here anyways) from a similar system. Honestly it can do whatever it wants as long as it's clear wherever I wind up at on Monday lol

Bottomed out at 25 with heavy frost this morning. Already back to 50°

32, windy and where did the warm weather go.

Hit 21 with enough flurries on the ground to call it a trace this morning. Interested to see how the pattern shakes out over the next month with a Nina coming in hot. Wouldn't be surprised to see some big severe threats in April.

My whole yard is coming up daffodils. Looks like some of my removal efforts last year may have made the problem a bit more widespread. LOL

The Euro partied too hard the night before CAD day in college.

WWA out for Watauga, Avery and Yancey.

Crazy thick fog Tonight. Worst I've seen in a while. When the sidewalk is foggy you know it's thick.

Nice squall coming through Blowing Rock right now. Absolutely dumping.

Been snowing on and off all morning. Big flakes but too warm to stick. 37 and snow is better than 37 and no snow, though.
