Ok so I cannot figure out why it won't let me upload more than 2 photos per post at a time, but I finally got my laptop back from the repair shop earlier this week (daughter colluded with gravity to break the power button) and got to go through my photos from last Mon/Tue. Really an incredible snow event, and I can't stress enough how rare the lack of wind was up here; I've lived here a decade and this is the first time I've ever seen a snow this calm. We had something similar in 2017 but it was a much, much shorter calm period as the low wrapped around and we briefly cleared before NW flow. 

Sorry in advance for "spamming" a few posts at once 

4.5 here! Froze the water pipes. Makes the coldest we've been in a couple years.

Stalled out at 10.0/10.2 here in Foscoe. Truck read 9 when I left the store in Blowing Rock and the wind was howling through our lot.

Pretty wild temperature swings coming up from Winston this evening. 33 at the bottom of the mountain, 41 in Deep Gap, 38 between Deep Gap and Boone then 42 in town. Currently 32 here at the house in Foscoe.

Another dusting overnight.

The NAM means business with the cold moving in Sunday. Drops Boone to 4° by 7PM. Could we go negative with snow cover?

Super fine grained stuff falling here. Just enough to coat the cars again so far.

Looking like we actually have a true clipper system heading our way overnight. I expect Buckethead will report an inch or two overnight. Perhaps flurries here in Haywood County overnight. The fast flow continues into the coming weekend!

Just over an inch here. My assistant lives over in Sugar Grove area and they have a solid 6".

Started as a rain/snow/sleet mix here in Blowing Rock. Now all rain but temps crashing fast.

Looking at the 3km NAM tonight, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see thunder snow in that band on Wednesday evening. Looks stout at the very least.

Measured 4" in Blowing Rock when I left. Right at 3" here at the house in Foscoe. Just north of Boone around Todd seems to have been the sweet spot.

Just measured 3.5" here at the store in Blowing Rock. Can only upload one Pic at a time on my phone but I hopped up on the Parkway this morning before I had to come in. I was the only one up there and it was absolutely gorgeous.

Plenty of moisture back over MS/TN. Definitely looks healthy.

Down to 29. 0z HRRR upped moisture a bit again. Looks like pretty heavy snow at 8AM with a nice second round in the afternoon/evening. 

Currently down to 31.8. At least we won't be wasting as much moisture saturating this time, surface humidity already at 98%.

3km NAM finally getting on board with Monday. GFS isn't completely on an island anymore.

Well. That sucked.

Nice coating of sleet/ZR. Now freezing fog at the store in Blowing Rock.

I thought you would start with snow way up there.. sad. 

Sleet/rain mix here in Foscoe. Saturated a bit quicker than I thought to be honest. Currently 32.

Enough to coat the deck here this evening. Nice surprise I didn't expect enough moisture to overcome our downsloping.

Hoping the Euro is right for the weekend, could turn out pretty good for the northern mountains.

Can I order a repeat of this pattern in January? Drop 3-4º off the column and we'd have ourselves a couple nice storms on the way. 

Liking what the GFS is showing for late next week. Hoping the backside of the Tue system produces up high so I can get out and snow hike on Wednesday. 

Future Imelda looking more like it'll bring some heavy rains early next week.

43/68 here today. Beautiful. 

Anybody else getting extra anxious every time the models spit out a gulf hurricane this year? I know any given run is unlikely, but I'm way more nervous than I've ever been.
