No doubt. It has also been consistent.

Cool. Im about 20 miles little south East from Chimney rock. I have some land in the Lake Lure area.

Just need to get through today and into the early morning hours tomorrow before we can really start to hone on of nowcasting. !

And I live at the end of the arrow. Super thin line

Wow back to heavy snow also down this way. SN-IP-SN.

Boy that is the true for sure!

Yup same place near the cherry mountain chain.

I was able to raise my station up higher at my house in hopes of getting a better reading from the N. Hoping to get better reading this go around.

They have been very solid the past several runs for sure.

Never to early to start looking at the surface

Sure Does and it so total win.

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... As of 315 am Friday: GSP Damaging accumulations of ice therefore appear more likely along and south of a line from Anderson to Spartanburg to Gastonia, to Salisbury, including Charlotte and vicinity. Northwest of there, morning snow/sleet followed by a likely transition to freezing rain/drizzle of a few hours is expected to result in a somewhat narrow zone of a wintry slurry of 2 to 5 inches. Finally, little has changed regarding the forecast for the mountains and NC foothills, where 8-12 inches/locally higher amounts of mostly snow continue to look like the best bet. I hope I'm further NW of that line but it will be close so MBY. Im a little NNE of the dot in the middle of Rutherford County.

The dry slot in energy transfers always need to be watched. Most likely a nowcasting event once we start radar watching.

Good lord it does. Over 14" down in the foothills now.

Boom 4.3" in three hours.. nice! http://www.wxcaster.com/models_text.htm

the 00 NAM for KFQD (Rutherfordton) is 6+" of snow and 1.6" of ice then .5 " of snow.

It is a concern as normal in these situations. But the NAM showed upwards of a solid inch area wide.

Wow. Thats a save image for sure.

Good lord at those totals put out by GSP.. WOW

I would love to run and hike up to that spot!

Keep that hugging the coast as we progress today.

Yeah states that do what the wife wants. Or stay where you are and walk the line like I’ll be doing :-) .
