Good pics guys! .

No snow down in the hills. But the clouds are awesome this morning! It’s super windy also! .

Enjoy boys!! .

Found some close to spruce pine. Parkway is closed in spots. .

Where we be a good place to take the kids sledding on the parkway tomorrow morning? Or even worth it tomorrow? .

Thanks for the great explanation! .

So I have yet to have my ambient 2902 get any snow in the rain gauge since I got it last year. Whats the best way to measured the liquid after melting? Might be a dumb question but.. Thanks and congrats on the snow

My mom said that last night. lol Im game for it..

The joys of living in the mountains of WNC. In other news, it’s 27 here. Wonder if they rain from yesterday could roll back today .

We track till its DOA. .

Yeah that is no fun. Ouch.. The lee side started to get the famous shadow yesterday during the afternoon runs.. so it nailed my area of zero. .

Well said. My DP was in the lower 20 till around 11 when the precipitation started to come in. After that it shot up to over 35 and never went below 33.4. Also I obtained .23” so the rates were light. When they were heavier ( 2:45- 4:45) it snowed! .
