    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.
  11. landof2rivers
    Yep, it changed over to snow. Mulch is white. Temp dropped to 35.6*.
  12. 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.

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

    Some snow flakes falling a few moments ago near Boone but it’s stopped now.
  17. 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.
  20. landof2rivers
    Nice size flakes coming down now and temp is down to 39.
  21. landof2rivers
    Just started snowing (flurries) here in Eden Tiny flakes Car thermometer says 42 The plows/salt trucks that are parked off of 14 as you come into town are ready to head out

    Check out dog boots on amazon. I’ve used them since fall of 2018 and they have saved my rugs and no more wiping wet paws. Walkee Paws waterproof dog leggings. They look ridiculous but they stay on and work great as long as you put them on correctly. And a bonus is fun to watch your dog walk in them. And now, back to the weather...

    Is anyone else having problems with the Ray’s Weather app for iPad? I’ve deleted the app and installed it again twice but it still doesn’t show correctly. The app works fine on my phone.

    Thanks so much! I've figured out some of the slang after lurking for most of this year. I appreciate the info for future reference.
