A very good article on Dr. Frank, in case you didn't see it. https://www.khou.com/article/news/local/dr-neil-frank-dies/285-26cc29fe-18ee-4e47-bdf3-5039367c021a

Merry Christmas. Sad news. Thank you for sharing.

23.2 this morning. There are so warm days ahead, but there have been plenty of cold mornings. Winter will return.

Is a skiff the scientific term below a dusting? I had a little on the cars, the roof, and the deck. Not enough to cover any of those, but it was there.

I can't tell if there is rain in it, but definitely some flakes falling. Unfortunately, I am at 36 degrees, so I am sure that it won't last. Edit: Mostly rain now

Good point about the airport location. I have thought that for years! Actually, an excellent point.I have had more than them, but we have definitely not seen as much as you border guys. I used to cash in better on NW flow events, but that has been way lower lately. We are definitely substantially below normal. But, we have had some snow, which beats what a lot of people have had. I have complained some, but for the most part, I will just wait for the next one. Plus, I am a short drive away to see you border guy's snow any time it happens!

Yesterday's record snow for the date from 1971 when it used to snow more than a half inch. 16.3 inches. Of course, even a half inch is a struggle. YESTERDAY 0.0 16.3 1971 0.0

23.5 this AM. But not to worry, I will be plenty warm enough for rain later on. But not too much rain, lol. Maybe, a tenth of an inch. Maybe. Good luck to you higher elevation guys! I'm always hoping that at least someone in our area gets some snow.

I'm probably no more than a couple inches above you guys. Even rain has underperformed here lately. But I am for anybody on this board who can cash in. You have to figure anybody on here is probably a snow fan.

I think you have been fine. You have as much right to your opinion as anybody else.

In fairness to WNCSNOW, he is as excited as anybody when there is something to be excited about. He doesn't necessarily like to look for the positive when it requires a little searching, but he is quite often right because of that. I don't think he is trolling at all. He is just a realist. Realism can be painful around here though, lol. He is a little negative, but he is a good dude and a good poster to have on this board.

18.3 so far this AM.

Welcome!

35.4 here. Even a few snow flakes floating around here.

Happy Thanksgiving all! Definitely not a torch today.

One more after dark. It came down fast and heavy. Still falling, but much lighter. 22.5. A great early start to winter.

Starting to lay on the ground.

It didn't last. Getting blasted here in Candler finally.

Definitely fun for you border guys !!! From GSP, a little snippet: Tight pressure gradient (4-6mb) with ongoing snow and dynamical features aloft will support sporadic blizzard conditions at the highest elevations (>4000`) along the immediate Tennessee border. Soundings from the CAMs are picking up on very shallow instability, which should only increase snowfall rates, especially in the favorable upslope areas in the Smokies, northern Madison County, and the Roan Mountain area. Perhaps an instance of thunder snow can`t be ruled out either, but good luck finding the exact location where this might occur

Great pictures!

29.7 so far this morning and still dropping.

1.22 inches of much needed rain so far. High of 47.5.

Bottomed out this morning. 33.8. Light frost on roofs, cars, and lower areas. Edited to add, if anyone wants to check out my weather station. I am on the Ambient Weather Network. HVPVD is my station name.

43.0 this morning so far. I had a 39.9 last week, so not my coldest, but still a good Autumn chill.

Only .01 from the first batch. Probably not going to be a drought buster here.
