    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.
  9. landof2rivers
    FLweather, where do you see the dry slot forming?

    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.
  12. 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.

    That warned cell is headed towards me, fingers crossed it weakens.
  16. 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.

    Is Blacksburg unable to update for some reason? The HWO hasn’t changed since 6:03 AM today and it didn’t update yesterday or maybe the day before more than almost 12 hours. I thought it usually had 2 updates in a 24 hour period.

    Still snowing and it’s windy so it’s blowing the snow around. I would have thought there would be more on the ground.
  20. landof2rivers
    The rate is not as heavy now and I can see across the valley to Howard’s Knob. It’s looks like it is snowing more over that way.
  21. landof2rivers
    Was getting ready to say it took no time for the flurries to become good sized flakes while I was at Ingles on 105. Poplar Grove Road is becoming covered.
  22. landof2rivers
    Just cleared the continental divide on 421 and flurries were waiting on the other side. Literally nothing falling on the Wilkesboro side and as we went under the parkway you could see the flurries flying.

    Camera showing good rate of snow off of Russ Cornet above The Cottages and near Poplar Grove.
  24. landof2rivers
    Nice size flakes coming down now and temp is down to 39.
  25. landof2rivers
