NCBlizzard

Thanks for the insight. I'm pumped to get a spot and have a lot less frustration due to the lack of snow in the Piedmont haha. Cheers!

100% haha. My other half says that's too far from "things"... Alas, so ideally like within ~20-30 minutes of the general Boone/Blowing Rock or Asheville area.

If anyone has a moment, I’d love your thoughts on this “NW-flow snow favorability” map (especially whether it’s capturing the patterns you’d expect). Mobile is a bit rough unless you rotate to landscape. I’ve wanted mountain property for decades, so I’m doing as much pre-analysis as I can haha. http://44.197.87.201:3839

Ended the event with about 10.5" here in Belmont NC. Whopper of a storm. I'm glad to see Triangle folks were able to rake some in as well!

We are right at 5.5" here in Belmont and still coming down steady! Temperature has dropped to 19° - despite solar noon having been ~1 hour ago. Incredible.

Truly pouring major flakes. It's like a snow globe outside. Right at 4" in Belmont. Averaging rates of about 0.8" hour since 8 AM. Temperature is down to 20°.

Really hoping things work out at least to some degree up that way for y'all. Just moved to Belmont a few months ago from Durham, and now surprised I'm better off here than there re snow (nowadays, at least, since this area has missed out a lot over the past 10 years).

Even with 3 snowboards out in various places, none seem to be fully exempt from the (sometimes massive) waves of blowing snow that are coming off trees/houses - trying to measure hourly at least to best gauge actual accumulation.

Approaching 2" in Belmont. It is an absolute whiteout outside right now! It's 21.8° on my station here and still steadily dropping. CLT has been reporting visibility of 0.25" and "Heavy Snow" since 9:00.

After a lull, light snow again in Belmont. Radar is looking good.

Roughly 0.6-0.7" in Belmont at 6:00. Temperature is 26.4°F (right in line with latest HRRR for here). I-85 corridor GSP to Kannapolis about to really see thinks pick up over the next 1-2 hours it seems.

Returns NE of Charlotte still hanging on as they continue moving towards Greensboro/Raleigh. HRRR doesn't have them making it all the way there quite yet (dries them up around Randolph County), but perhaps it will be wrong.

Eclipsed 0.25" here about 10 minutes ago. It's really coming down out there, even under lighter returns now. Much bigger flakes. I think it's certainly safe to say the DGZ has already started deepening, and is certainly saturating!

I'm feeling pretty good about your area up through CLT!
