That high end is scary. Low % of it happening but gesh.

Some of yall that are up high enough to transition to rain are going to be the most thankful group in western NC. One of the rare winter storms that we’d all be fine whiffing on.

I've warmed up to 34 now. Snow is flying up at Cataloochee. Hemphill Bald has moderate snow. Nothing at the house currently. Light breeze out of the NE. Heavier returns about to move in. We'll see if it can moisten things up in the Valley.

Hearing the sleet pingers outside. Not a lot but enough to notice.

Also, just a reminder about this app, site - always helpful, etc. to see what's going on and report your own observations: https://mping.ou.edu/display/

Down to 21 here in Blowing Rock. HRRR showed it warming through the afternoon-don't see that happening. Still well in the teens at elevation as well. Very deep wedge.

Nice little burst of sleet. Wish we could have gotten a coating of snow.
