Still 21, now with flurries.

Moderate snow now. This is nice for however long it lasts.

Looks like you have a nice band coming in

[Tyler Penland]

Picking up here now, still snow- hopefully it stays that way for a bit.

Spitting sleet here with barely anything showing on radar.

[Tyler Penland]

Ground/parking lot/cars covered here. I'd imagine roads aren't far behind with limited traffic and temp down to 18. 

[Maggie Valley Steve]

Moderate sleet at times. Temp down another degree to 34.

[Met1985]

Sleet and freezing rain here with a temp of 30 degrees. 

[Buckethead]

Jason Boyer just sent me the skew t from a balloon launch at UNCA a short time ago.

Currently 21/20 with ip/sn in Wolf.

Over to sleet here now. It was fun while it lasted.

Moderate sleet here now. 28/10.

[Hvward]

Nothing at my house yet really and I consider that lucky. I hope I just get NWFS haha. We sit at 27 so our luck will end soon.

[Maggie Valley Steve]

All rain and 33 at the house.

[cold air aloft]

29 and light ZR with a brisk NE wind.

[BretWx]

All ZR here now. And steady. Exactly what I did not want. 28/10.

Edit to add: I have ice on the outdoor grill. Temperature just dropped to 32.

[Boonelight]

19º in Deep Gap with light snow. Half inch of snow accumulation on our cars and deck.

I’m in Boone  live near downtown. Have just a skiff here 

[BretWx]

Man... outside lanterns, shrubs,... are already glazed. I did not expect it this early. 

[WNC_Fort]

Had a decent sleet shower pass through. Enough to cover the rooftop and cars

[Met1985]

Temp has dropped back to 29 degrees with freezing rain and sleet. 

[cold air aloft]

The rain is picking up and my truck already has a nice glaze on it.

[Boonelight]

All sleet now. 18.3º

[Met1985]

Down another degree to 28 with sleet and freezing rain. Everything is getting coated. 

[Maggie Valley Steve]

Down to 31. Everything elevated has iced over. Deck is beginning to freeze now. Asphalt drive is OK at the moment. I guess it's time to put some salt down so we don't fall while taking the dogs out.

[WxKnurd]

Meanwhile in Hakuba, Japan. And still dumping. 

[Met1985]

Going the wrong way tonight.  Down another degree to 27 degrees with light freezing rain and sleet. Everything is iced over now. This light stuff makes things ice up quicker.

Business?

[Tyler Penland]

Down to 19.8/17.8 here so column just about fully moistened up. Still light sleet for the time being. Backroads were slick AF on my drive home.

[WNC_Fort]

Jason (WLOS) might end up regretting his livestream from 2 hours ago where he was saying “positive” things from the models where we’d have mostly sleet and decreased QPF..
