It does change to rain after this initial thump of snow, though.

 

I'm hoping to get a good 3-4 hours of snow to play in before the rain comes.

Wow. Yancey is supposed to get 4 times as much snow as Buncombe! !! Take lots of pictures. 

[Hvward]

12z Euro a tick cooler at 850mb. Looks similar to the ICON.

Looks like Macon, southern Jackson and transylvania counties do good if the icon turns out to be right. 

[AsheCounty48]

Finally looks like I might get more snow compare to you southern guys

[nrgjeff]

Vort max appears south of progged coming out of KS/MO. Could benefit the Highcountry if more precip hangs back behind the front. This moisture scours out a lot faster than the previous system, so it must work fast. MRX is pretty excited our side of the Smokies. I think I'd rather be in NC though.

Gonna keep this short. Just in case ya couldn't tell by my post count I'm a newbie here. I've been following your mountains and foothill winter threads for a couple of years now and just wanted to say thank you to all of you. I've loved reading this thread and learning more about weather. And yea, I especially love that ya'll can help me decide when I need to make a run to the mountains for snow! Ya'll are just awesome and you help more people than you realize. Met, best wishes in your future endeavors. You will be missed here. Now, I'll shut up and go back to lurking and watching since I am no weatherperson, just an individual that enjoys the snow and taking pictures of weather.

Precipitation falling in Todd...so light and tiny...pretty sure it's a cold rain...but it's juicy overhead

Thank You! I leave the 11th for Illinois.  Also great to see others posting in the thread. Don't hesitate at anytime to post here. The more the better.

And now we have changed to snow in Wolf.  Nice fat flakes mixed in!

Nice!  If you are just now 36, I have no hope of snow. I hope you max it out for the both of us.

Well temps are crashing...now down to 32.2°.  You might be surprised!

[WeatherHawk]

Cold rain here in MBY...but temps are falling...several radars forecasting a transition to snow within the hour

[MotoWeatherman]

Flipping over to snow here at 4650ft on Beech.  But temp is 37.3 so we got a ways to go. 

[Met1985]

Temp are plummeting here. Down to 37 degrees. The wind is ripping.

[Buckethead]

Down to 29.6 and still plummeting.  The cold air is on the way guys. 

[AsheCounty48]

Tonight better over perform because I have a feeling we'll see more snow tonight than the Sunday storm...

[NC_WX10]

Just changed over to snow 

[BooneWX]

Snow mixing in here! 40 degrees though.

[SnoJoe]

I've lost 8 degrees in the past 45 minutes. 31.1. Light snow.

[Eastcoast2]

Down to 29 now and wind has really picked up all snow 

[Met1985]

Down to 32 with snow.

[WeatherHawk]

Nice snow here...wet flakes...first wet snow I've seen since we moved here in December...my daughter will be in school 'til July  

[WeatherHawk]

Temps dropping and snow coming in sideways behind a solid wind from the E and NE...probably no school tomorrow for Watauga Co.
