I tried to begin the May observation thread and obviously I’m not that smart… We are currently experiencing the second hail storm in the last 10 minutes.

I’ll be checking all night. Haven’t been up in 3 months so if anything falls it’s a win/last gasp. I’ll take it. I looked at radar and didn’t see anything upstream for flow snow.

Here for the weekend in Boone at 4k off poplar grove/Russ Cornett and I was going to say nothing here but I went to check the floods and there’s a stray flake (that’s being generous) so it’s a win.

Cold, cloudy, rainy, foggy and in the upper 40’s here.

Yes my location shows 541 ft.

All snow now but it’s very light.

Well I went out on the back porch and the rain looks suspicious.. Looks like flakes are mixing in but still mostly rain. It started sprinkling here around 4:30 or so and temp then was mid 40’s. Went through a period of no precip and temps slowly dropped.

Lol nothing here but rain next to the Dan off of 14 as you come into Eden from the south. My unscientific thermometer says 37.

“Flurries” would be generous but it’s snowing in Eden off of 14 next to the Dan

Took a few measurements around the yard and got 9” at each spot.

Currently in Boone at 4000 ft, needing to head back to Eden but that’s not happening anytime soon.

Thunder snow!!

Quit calling me Shirley

I’m heading east on 40 coming out of Raleigh I looked in my rearview mirror I swear I saw two funnel clouds drop down and my daughter said the same thing she’s traveling separately from me anybody there know of anything happening

I lived in Sussex county for a few months in 1990. I was in McAfee and traveled around the area. I enjoyed my time there.

The pavement got wet here, that’s it. I was hoping this line would deliver.

I’m sorry, I have no ability to gauge wind speed/gusts outside of Boone, but last night and tonight off poplar grove area above the campground has been crazy with the gusts. In the 10 years I’ve been in this spot, these are the most long lived winds. I’m not a local, so I’m sure these winds aren’t notable but dang. Also, I made sure to watch in person from 421, the procession come into Boone this afternoon from WS. I don’t know when I’ve been as sad and more proud to see people come out to support their community. I lost count of the different counties/ towns/ college police, etc. I don’t know if any of the mountain people from this area are on here but a huge thank you and hugs if you are law enforcement or if they are your family.

This side of town is getting slammed.

Gully washers welcome, severe nope

Storms on the NC/VA border didn’t do much here...piddly thunder and piddly rain.

Tornado warning for NE Surry County, NC

That came through Eden about 45 minutes ago. Heavy rain, skies were very dark and several decent gusts.

Amen

I never saw the temp get higher than 54* here in Eden. It's 53* now and I hope that keeps tornado potential at bay.

I rarely venture into the severe thread but what’s up with no update from Blacksburg/ Roanoke since 4:30 this morning? I apologize if it’s been covered in the severe thread.
