[audioguy3107]

CAD has officially arrived here along I-85 near Gainesville, Ga.....winds are really gusting out of the NE 15-20 MPH....temps have fallen another degree to 37.....we’ll see how low they’ll go.

Could hear the sleet mixing In just now when I took the dogs out.

41.0/29.3 ... precip closing in...

41.4 / 31.0 just down the road at Lake Norman Airpark

Just for giggles, this current radar pretty much sums up Lenoir/Caldwell County during every hyped storm since forever. 

Did see some flurries 30m ago, well ahead of any radar indicating such, so hopefully we’re on our way.

41.7 / 28.2 in central Ral.  Great timing here.  Headed out for a Christmas party before it rolls in early am.  

[Upstate Tiger]

Just went over to moderate sleet and 36 in Cherryville.  Piling up pretty fast on the deck. Looking at southeastern radar is that a dry slot forming over Mississippi?  I’m guessing the area of precipitation over Texas is the ULL?

How did cold arrive in GA/ Greenville, SC before Charlotte?

[luvrrroforange]

We have snow finally in Blue Ridge, SC just south of Landrum. It is starting to accumulate on cars and things.

I could be wrong but I think this is a result of cooling through precipitation with dew point depressions

That’s it......been cool and rainey before the sun came up today, never had a chance to warm up at all.

35.8/35, steady winds out of the NE

[WxKnurd]

1036 High over OH/WV/PA border, 850 and 925 0-degree lines running along the NC/SC border basically.

Been at 35 and all rain for several hours, heavy returns right now. Per radar, the snow line has set up shop about a half mile north of me  and hasn't budged since about 4pm.

Is anyone in pickens county seeing any snow?

It is still just rain with a small mix of snow in Greenville. At least near GSP where I am right now.

[luvrrroforange]

[No snow for you]

I’ve got 35 and 34. Still looks like a cold rain but temps dropping 

[SnowDawg]

Well still sitting right around 32 but inexplicably we have been at almost pure rain for over an hour now. Radar says snow but it’s not. Certainly didn’t expect this sort of warmth aloft yet. Desperately needing some dynamic cooling.

[No snow for you]

That snow line is trying to move south. About 15 miles away max 

[LKN WX]

37/30 here with light rain and IP mixed.  Waiting on the heavier returns.

Interestingly many of the models hand a handle on this showing slightly warmer temps for a few hours in the mid levels before cooling back down. 

Wind is really starting to howl out there now...gusting over 20 here...yucky 38.

Good to know.. still dry here near downtown M-ville

[Junbb1]

Just got home. Dusting with moderate snow. 32. Steady 5 mph out of N.  

Campobello, SC. (North Pacolet area)

[UpstateSCBud]

What a differencea few miles makes. Left Simpsonville to cold rain, arrived home in TR to beautiful snow falling. 

[No snow for you]

Sleeting like a beast now

Certainly not here. SE wind at 0.5 mph. Highest gust today was 9 at 10 am.

[Gastonwxman]

I'm down to 36, now, and the sleet has been mixing in with the rain.  I suspect a changeover to all sleet soon before the snow eventually gets in...

[WxKnurd]

I’d say at least 80/20 sleet to rain now here across the river from Mt Holly

[gritsnc]

Light snow at my sisters house in Boiling Springs, SC and she also sent me a photo showing a very light dusting on her porch.

[Amos83]

@Wow  starting to get a few sleet pellets now just off Langtree Rd in Mooresville. walked outside and noticed the wind is picking up a bit to

[Tony Sisk]

Sleet and snow falling at a good rate finally in Taylors at Wade Hampton Blvd!!
