You were in a great spot evening to get these bands rotating through. Surreal outside. Just got in from a jebwalk and my 6ish" feels like a foot or more in the yard with all the drifting. We live on a hill and the wind is cranking.

yeah but if it shows we track.. Thats what we do..

On the wrong side of the wind here hope to change that soon. Cleveland county has returns coming south on the east side and north on the west side.

Not my official measurement but one of the many drifts around the yard! Sold storm ! 12 plus hours of snow with over 6”. All snow no ice sleet! Going to pack down some good sledding hills tomorrow! Cheers boys[emoji1634] .

Awesome. I over in Rutherford and sitting at 6.25"ish . Cleveland county got into some heavy bands. Congrats!!

Measuring 6.25” .

Heaviest snow of the day right now .

Graph has me getting 2 more by 7 pm.. just under 5" now. Under a slightly stronger band

Same here. Im i it also. Starting to move SE now.

Sure does!!!

Heaviest of the day right now. Also very little wind, but Wind still coming generally from the east. .

21.4 .

I 85 wreck in the upstate of SC.. Dang

Been dumping since 10am. Small flakes with larger flakes mixed in. Awesome stuff. Feet are froze . LOL

Drifts over 12" in the yard. Going with 4ish" for now. Its cold!!

Mesoscale Discussion 0067 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0942 AM CST Sat Jan 31 2026 Areas affected...Piedmont of Upstate South Carolina into North Carolina Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 311542Z - 311945Z SUMMARY...Heavy hourly snow rates around or in excess of 1 inch per hour may become increasingly common across the Carolina Piedmont vicinity through 1-4 PM EST. DISCUSSION...To this point, it appears that peak hourly snow rates within an area of snow spreading across and to the lee of the southern Appalachians have remained relatively modest. Precipitable water across the Piedmont is generally around or below .35 inches, with lower values to the west/northwest. Saturating temperature profiles are well below freezing, but temperatures conducive to dendritic ice crystal growth appear initially centered around 700 mb, somewhat low and perhaps not most optimal for larger dendritic ice crystal growth and aggregation. However, latest model output suggests that the deep, digging upstream short wave trough/elongated cyclonic circulation will gradually take on a more neutral orientation while pivoting across and southwest of the southern Appalachians through 18-21Z. Increasingly difluent and divergent mid/upper flow to the northeast of this feature is forecast to contribute to a period of strengthening upward vertical motion across the Carolina Piedmont. This may be enhanced by a band of strengthening frontogenetic forcing in the 800-700 mb layer, where forecast soundings indicate cooling profiles will contribute to further lowering, but deepening, of the dendritic growth zone. As this occurs, high resolution model output, among other guidance, suggests increasing potential for hourly snow rates in excess of 1 inch per hour, which may persist, at least on an off, through much of the afternoon. .

It’s just to my east south right now. Hoping it moves in. .

Heavy banding right now! Wow .

Flakes are getting bigger .

Its cold. Just got back in from feeding all the animals (Horses, Chickens and such). 23 currently with small gusts of wind. should be at an 1" if not more. But its raking with below 1/2 mile vis

Yup. The end time has been pushed back several hours.
