Flurries started in Pleasant Gardebs 

Wow that’s great news. Didn’t waste hardly any on virga. 

[AsheCounty48]

Flurries starting in Foscoe.

[AsheCounty48]

HRRR is stubborn on trying to give us NW folks the best totals it looks like, but idk if I can believe it.

[Blue_Ridge_Escarpment]

Nice little burst here right now. Definitely not the huge wet flakes we saw last Friday. More fine flakes.

That’s what we’re getting here. We got about an 1.5. Would be a lot more if we could get those dime size flakes. 

[wncsnow]

Rates aren't heavy enough to accumulate here. It's picked up but not enough 

[Maggie Ace]

Nice burst in Maggie Valley. 19 has the plows working now since roads are accumulating.

[AsheCounty48]

looks like the northern shield is getting a bit more robust. Hoping the line to the west can stay intact, that's where the heavier rates are.

[AsheCounty48]

Rates picking up rapidly in Foscoe.

[wncsnow]

Its almost stopped down here

Dang. Come on over to the east side of town lol

[Rainforrest]

Best rate so far falling now. 

[Sw NC weather]

Right at 3 inches and still coming down at a good clip.

[AsheCounty48]

HRRR even brings in a band around 10pm tonight for the northern counties that drops roughly half an inch or so, that could be interesting.

[franklin NCwx]

Just a little over 3 inches with moderate snow. Can't get any of the big flakes like they have in GA. Maybe we can hit 4 before this winds down.

Don't complain we won't even get a dusting 

[Buckethead]

Right at an inch so far.  Moderate rates and tiny, tiny dendrites.  20.7/20

[AirNelson39]

Extremely fine snow, we’ll be lucky to get a dusting at this rate. Bad when Clemson has a bigger snowstorm than Boone has all winter and it’s nearly the middle of February.

[franklin NCwx]

It's a dry snow here.

don't be worried yet, from what I can tell, most of our accumulation will come from the band to the west once it comes through.

Same here. Currently setting at 26 

[Blue_Ridge_Escarpment]

Usually being north of 40 is a good thing for us here, today, not so much.

How much has Boone had this year?

Hrrr for the win perhaps?

[AirNelson39]

Total for the entire season maybe 2”

Dang that would have to be the least snowiest on record. If it holds up. 

[AirNelson39]

I don’t know, I hope you’re right but I’ve seen similar bands fizzle coming from that direction

[franklin NCwx]

Down to flurries with about 3.5 on the ground.  Puts me at 5 for the season. 

[BhamParker]

Happy for you guys that have scored. I am really hoping yall can score on another one before the season is over so that I can make another trip!
