Just measured 5 inches on my deck (N Main) Greenville.   Looks like we have finally switched to mainly sleet.   
 

GSP had cut my totals to 1.5 in.    Score one for the HRRR. 

I heard anywhere from 4-7” in Taylors. I did 3 different measurements of 5”. Matter of fact, had to go on the roof to clear the satellite dish. I thought I was on the bottom step, but i5 was the 3rd step…I busted my tail…then made a snow angel and laughed at myself!

About 3.5 inches with heavy snow falling and blowing in NW Hickory.

Thanks so much, @avianman.  We made the decision to ride out the storm in Black Mountain, so I’m curious what conditions are back home.  It’s windy up here with steady snow.

Take some good measurements for me.  I’m in NW Hickory too, so I’ll use your backyard totals for my stats since I can’t take them myself.  :D

3.5 already is great!  Hopefully, you can keep that transition line to your south and east.

This has been pretty much perfect for the I-85 corridor in SC. The heavy precip that fell from 2:00am to 7:00am was ALL Snow. The precip that is falling now is very light, but a mix bag. Not sure how much wrap around snow we will get…but it appears the nasty stuff is going to be light.

Mesoscale Discussion 0075
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

   Areas affected...Northern South Carolina...North Carolina...Southern
   and Central Virginia

   Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation 

   Valid 161342Z - 161945Z

   SUMMARY...Heavy snowfall with rates exceeding one inch per hour will
   be possible across the southern Appalachians and Virginia Piedmont
   this morning from western North Carolina into southern and central
   Virginia. Freezing rain or a changeover to freezing rain is expected
   from parts of northern South Carolina northeastward into
   southeastern Virginia.

   DISCUSSION...Water vapor imagery shows an upper-level low moving
   eastward across the central Gulf Coast states with divergent
   mid-level flow located across southern sections of the Eastern
   Seaboard. A plume of mid-level moisture is located across the
   Carolinas and Virginia, where widespread precipitation is ongoing.
   Temperatures are currently below freezing across much of the
   southern Appalachian Mountains, where snow is being reported. A few
   locations have exceeded one inch per hour snowfall rates. As
   large-scale ascent spreads northeastward ahead of the upper-level
   low, the potential for heavy snow should increase across parts of
   western and central Virginia.

   Further to the east, temperatures are also below freezing across
   much of the North Carolina Piedmont. In this area, freezing rain is
   being reported in many locations due to a low-level warm layer that
   is forecast to spread northward into southeastern Virginia later
   this morning. In response, freezing rain should continue across
   parts of central North Carolina. Snow should gradually change over
   to freezing rain across much of southeastern Virginia this morning.
