ncjoaquin Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Really coming down, my sidewalk is white and the road is getting white. I know I'm supposed to get less than an inch, but looks like I'm going to get it early and quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmersonGA Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 36 and dropping fast here in Emerson. Weve had some impressive gusts here today that gave me fits working in the yard. I had to mulch my winter garden but im not sure that will help much if we go below freezing for 36 hours or more. I just put the floodlights on for flurry watch 2012. Weve had snow flying twice this season from those ULLs but I cant let a flake fly without observing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvegas-wx Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Well, I've lurked here for the last 90 days waiting to comment when the flakes started flying. I'm 45 days later than I wanted to be, but the flakage on the radar is coming right down 52 to Winston. Lights on, lets see some action!! FWIW, Foothills, your commentary has been phenominal to date. Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Local Yokel Wx Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Light snow came through Cullowhee a few minutes ago. For the 1st time I was able to make snow before sunset; always had to wait till 12am or 1am. Already have 2.5" on the ground and looks like a foot is possible if I can stay up late tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncjoaquin Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Snow continuing to fall here and 24 degrees. I think the very cold air is contributing to the very fast road problems. Definitely a slippery night in WNC:(from the ACT) A multiple-vehicle accident has shut down eastbound Interstate 40 in the Candler area, according to the N.C. Highway Patrol. A dispatcher said at 6:50 p.m. that a tractor-trailer and several vehicles were involved in the wreck, which occurred just west of the weigh station in the eastbound lanes. The roadway in that area has become slick with snowfall. Emergency service crews and Department of Transportation personnel were en route, the dispatcher said. Snow is making streets in Asheville and the surrounding area slippery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Leicester, Candler area is doing well. Kinda strange as Flow Snow is usually made for us. I think the more W direction of the wind may be hurting us. Congrats to you though!
