Nam3km is a hammer job for all of WNC.  Pretty sure we can lock this one in.  I don't see any model showing less than 5"-6" for most all of us.  Still going as well this is through hr 24.

I get the Dry Slot

I don't get this map acting basically like a Coastal low does not happen-or is that post 1pm

This precip is moving in a lot faster than any model had it.

It's only through 1 p.m. tomorrow. Here's through 1 p.m. Sunday. Also adds a good thumping of NWFS for the mountains.

Here's the whole run. Up to nearly a foot for Boone now.

[cold air aloft]

Light flurries in Maggie.

[BretWx]

Is this thing cranking a lot earlier than expected... I wonder what that means down the line...

[BretWx]

Clouds getting really low here. 29/14.

[Tyler Penland]

It's currently mostly clear and sprinkling (??) in Blowing Rock. Very weird, the sprinkles not the clear. It feels very humid so maybe it's condensing right above the ground? I saw a couple drops hit my jacket otherwise I'd have dismissed it.'

edit: after the drive home definitely a diamond dust kind of situation just with temps in the upper-20s. Was snow on the other end of Schulls Mill over at Foscoe.

Time to enjoy guys. It’s been a long wait for an area wide hit like we’re getting. I’ve got the jack out and the flood light on!

[BhamParker]

Dusting on all surfaces, still small flakes but intensity is getting there. Gonna be a fun one!

I have the vodka out! Still waiting on the first flakes!

[Maggie Valley Steve]

Flurries have started at Valley floor. It took a while to saturate enough.

[Maggie Valley Steve]

Light snow and 28. Already a dusting including the driveway.

[Met1985]

28 degrees moderate to light snow currently.  Laying immediately. 

[Buckethead]

1.25" on the board already.

Fine flakes starting to fall

[BhamParker]

Man it’s coming down now! Flakes are still small but this reminds me of Christmas night 2010 and we woke up to about 8 inches. Bands are really building

A cold ground makes all of the difference. Everything that is falling is sticking. My yard is solid white.

[WNC_Fort]

Tick…tock. Patiently waiting here. Still see the moon and stars out this way

[Met1985]

Atmosphere is really saturating now. 

[Boonelight]

Steady light snow, lots of bigger flakes mixing in. 20.8º

A cool nighttime photo of the snow. Can't hardly see town.

Eyeballing about an inch and counting. I'll measure tomorrow morning on my snowboard.

[Buckethead]

3" now. I picked up an inch in the last 30 minutes.

Finally have a light snow at my house in Black Mountain.

[Tyler Penland]

Dang guys slow down LOL. We're just at a dusting here but finally picking up.
