'It's beginning to look alot like early Spring...'

Thanks! Hope you all get yours soon! After 1 AM, I was beginning to lose hope. None of the radar returns over us were reaching the ground. And then at 1:45, the bottom dropped out. These flakes were fat, and the accumulation was some of the softest snow I've experienced here. It was like touching cotton candy.

After 1,039 days without snow, this is a sight I never take for granted.

Cornelius was tardy to the party, but it dumped for about an hour between 1:45-2:45 am. Picked up right around 0.5-0.75 of an inch by Lake Norman. The drought is over!

Moved to Lake Norman in 2015. Amazing how those first few winters were so climatological in terms of winter snowfall for the area. Even if it was one snow event. It was four to five inches of great powder. Have not had a drop of the good stuff here since 1/21/22. Please bring it back.

Please let it hold to the lake. No rain here since Helene.

Lows here in the Carolinas tonight dipping into the upper 40s. That front is certainly going to be tugging Milton more NE in the coming hours. You can really start to see it in the orientation of the moisture where Milton wants to go.

Think Milton defies logic. What would be a CAT3 at landfall could easily be a CAT4. Now cast.

Praying for you and your family. May everyone in that area come out okay and healthy.

We got a thunderstorm complex in Huntersville where I was playing an open mic around 10pm-12 am that was just wild. Torrential downpours, wind, and lots of lightning. 2 inches of rain in 2 hours. If there is a wind threat here with Helene, the ground will be very saturated come Thursday night into Friday.

Thought about that too being here in the NC Piedmont. Wonder what effect the upper level low and stalled front will have on that.

That beast will split the difference. My amateur eyes looking at New Orleans to Pensacola. CAT3

1.95 inches with that storm yesterday evening here in Cornelius First appreciable rain since Debby.
