I’ve dipped below 33. But unconvinced there will be any actual moisture at this point. Same as last year.

33. Two degrees lower than the forecast.

36 and rain. Shocker.

Picked up .11 quickly. Would have been a nice inch of snow. Alas.

[wncsnow]

No one has mentioned it but the long range is looking torchy again. 

[BooneWX]

[wncsnow]

[WiseWeather]

We’re always the bridesmaid, never the bride

Short range has gone away from the bands coming in later. Can't say I'm surprised.

Snow levels are indeed falling. The camera on top of Hibriten Mtn in Lenoir is showing light snow beginning to fall. Elev: 2,211’

At least in the years where it’s warm, you know you don’t have a shot. These last few years have been so hard because we’re always so close. 
 

It reminds me of the stretch in the mid 2000s (05-08?) where it snowed all around the foothills but we never cashed in until Dec 09. But even then we squeaked out a few small events.

I still see some signs of something this afternoon, but idk what it is or what it’s trying to pick up on. It’s not organized banding but the hrrr is still showing some weird little impulse. Granted it’s the GFS, and double granted, it’s the gfs at nowcast time, but I do find it wild that it didn’t back down a single bit and almost shows some lee enhancement late morning.
