    Thanks for the suggestions Lol

    I saw in the threat thread that people are planning ahead. So, in that vein, what items are suggested? It's not like snow where you put down salt or sand. Other than having gas on hand for the generator, charging items, and getting batteries, what am I missing? TIA

    Whee doggie! Literally the dog is trying to get under the covers and app says lightning hit within 1 mile.
  4. landof2rivers
    Well the light and noise show just showed up

    I logged in to report my current stats to see I was beat to the punch. Lol to follow that... My report from Eden is that it’s freaking pouring buckets and has been for an hour or more. We didn’t even get thunder or lightning, just mind numbing constant rain. Ugh!
  6. landof2rivers
    Yep, pass

    I’m on the south side of town near the river. Roads aren’t covered in my neighborhood and ground is barely white, not enough to try and measure.

    Yep, it changed over to snow. Mulch is white. Temp dropped to 35.6*.
  9. landof2rivers
    Never made it below 36, lots of rain with some sleet mixed in.

    There wasn’t much to see in my backyard. Trace of snow on the grass but mainly on the mulch; a little more snow on the cars. As for ice, the only build up I noticed was on the tips of the rhododendron leaves at my kitchen window, and that didn’t last long. I didn’t notice anything on trees in the yard away from the house. It stayed between 33-35 all day here.

    Upstate Tiger, kudos to your trek at Elk Knob in the snow. It’s a beautiful hike without snow on the ground but I’m sure the snow made a great memory. Great pic! I was happy to make it up for the amazing views on either side and also happy to reach my car at the end.

    Sorry for sideways pic, it was a miracle I figured out to add the image. That is looking towards The Cottages off 105 then beyond that is Howard’s Knob.

    Intensity has picked up, nice snow coming down, surfaces that weren’t covered earlier are quickly turning white.

    Very light snow falling here.

    32 degrees outside of Boone off Polar Grove Road at 4000ft. Snow on the ground, nothing currently happening.

    lol, hope not Franklin NCwx. Trying to learn so my question was based on checking to see if FLweather meant that the dry slot might form coming off the mountains/foothills or anywhere east of the Yadkin valley.
  17. landof2rivers
    FLweather, where do you see the dry slot forming?
  18. landof2rivers
    Thanks Disc for your updates, really appreciate you taking the time to check in.

    Very light snow is falling in Eden. “Falling” is actually generous, it’s a flake here and there.
  20. landof2rivers
    Some snow flakes falling a few moments ago near Boone but it’s stopped now.

    Is there a better place to check for rainfall totals for my zip code? Weather underground says 1.80” for the last 24 hours and I find that hard to believe. The pasture in front of my house next to the Dan is flooded and many roads and low areas are flooded between Eden and Martinsville. The Smith and the Dan are both running very high.

    The band went north of me but we still had winds that were very strong. It’s still very windy.
  23. landof2rivers
    That warned cell is headed towards me, fingers crossed it weakens.
  24. landof2rivers
    We will try that, thanks!

    Not weather related but a topic for the mountain peeps. We have a bear that’s been showing up at our house outside Boone. We’ve been there 10 years and have never seen a bear until this July 4th and 6th. This morning a bear showed up and entered an unlocked car and helped itself to the person’s lunch. We never leave food or trash outside nor do we have bird feeders. I don’t mind the bear being in the area but I’m not thrilled that it might associate our house with food now. Any thoughts on how to coexist? I’m afraid to send the dog out unless someone goes out with the dog.
