Wow! Lynchburg and Central VA hit with 1"+...lights out!

Decent snow shower just hit, 27 degrees-gentle breeze here on the East side of Elk Knob. Congrats to our folks in the deep south getting some snow

Been snowing heavy here in NW Watauga since about 2...about 2" or more and everything's covered again...gonna lock in for a few days, and wait around for more. Snow has turned sideways now, some winds and heavy rates. How is it in Eastern TN...near Mountain City/Johnson City areas?

Just wanted to note here, is there any way to verify this? Sometime between 7 and 8:15 PM on Friday, January 10 during the snow-I heard a loud boom, sounded from the sky. It caught me off guard…was like, is that thundersnow? I also thought maybe my grandson knocked over a piece of furniture inside-as I was in the mudroom, I was hoping it was thundersnow but not sure if we have the means to verify this over NW Watauga County between 7 PM and 8:15 PM. My girlfriend heard the same sound twice at a later time probably between 10 and midnight about 20 miles to the northeast in Central Ashe County. Does anyone have a database for lightning strikes that it would have occurred during that time in that area?

First bit of sun poking through now, still snowing pretty good...very tiny flakes, maybe about 6" on the ground. Winds strong.

Seems like a while since we had a solid MA punching up snow...anyone remember the last solid MA that yielded a lot of snow?

Like the legend here...woke up to sideways snow, wind and maybe an additional 1/2-3/4" overnight. Sitting at about 5" now, be safe everyone. Imagine some strong winds coming through today.

Indeed, about an hour out here...east of Elk Knob, Rittle Knob. Got a healthy 0.75"...should these rates continue for the next 20+ hours, could be more than expected. Anyone in the NW GA area, Lookout/Pigeon Mtn. (TAG Region).

Solid snow coming down flakes smaller than a dime, but it’s snowing pretty good here in northern Watauga county near the Ashe County line.

Indeed, been here for about 10 trips around the sun and miss Coldrain and BigFrosty...but it's great to see new folks as well. Cheers folks, enjoy the ride! Hope everyone can get a solid run and keep the lights on. Be safe! I'm going with a solid 6" in my area from northern Watauga into Ashe. Gonna get snowed in with my grandson and make some sausage balls.

Good run. Just waiting for that northern shift, 48 out.

Very strong winds here in North West Watauga, snow pouring sideways. Be safe everyone if you have to go out. Looking forward to the next system, hoping our friends and colleagues to the south and our piedmont can get a decent thump this winter, looks promising.

Snow has changed over to sleet and freezing rain east side of Elk Knob.

Lights out in W KY…oof. Anyone want to start a new thread for this particular 5/6 event?

Nice rate of snow falling on the east side of Elk Knob. Very small, fine flakes. Looks like it’s raining snow.

Ice Storm north of 40 and south of 64...through the TN/KY corridor...

Nice kitty! Thx

Seems that the Euro and GFS are converging on this deal, maybe not the numbers tho'.... Anyone else see that?

Anyway to collapse that big ol' picture from the moderator....every time I read those replies, I gotta look at that picture of some country road in Savannah or Charleston...can I put a big ol' picture of my business as my 'signature' and get some free advertising? But seriously, can I collapse that...it's annoying

This has been one of the most inactive winters for the Blue Ridge mountains that I've ever experienced. We have crops, plants, and bulbs emerging up here. It's crazy!

Worst winter since I've been up here in the Blue Ridge, ever! And, all I can see on the forecast is cold rain.

Off topic…..Has anyone noticed the national decline of air quality since February 6th…wonder what’s going on. Why aren’t we hearing about this? Lately having over 200 AQI, PM 2.5 near Garner, NC. The AQI across the nation has dramatically increased.

This has been one of the most inactive winters up here in the blue ridge that I can remember.

I grew up in the NC Piedmont...and my dad used to tell me about those 3 Wednesdays...back to back. However, I'm afraid we've screwed up our climate, but hopefully it's not too late, if we can make some major changes soon. If not, I fear the crazy stuff happening out in CA is just a tip of iceberg heading our way.
