  1. I think one of the most common posts on our site is …

    “The next 24 hours will be really important in determining … [fill in the blank].”

    That same statement is made whether we are ten days away from the fever-dream storm, five days away from a possible storm, or 1 day away from an impending storm. This makes me wonder which 24-hour is not really important because that’s the one in which we can all take a breather and not live and die by each model run. Please let me know when we have determined which 24-hour period that is. Until then, I will be waiting anxiously on the next run of the … [fill in the blank] … model.

    Looked outside about start of halftime of the game, and it is pouring snow and sleet.  Head out with the dog again.  We are playing ball in the snow.  Labs don't care. I realize it's raining - freezing of course.  Then as we come in, it's some type of sleet or pellets.  Just wild.  Measured about 1.5 inch of mix.

    This reminds me of one of the old 1980's winter storms.  We used to get a lot of little nickel and dime deals like this that would give you a little bit of everything precip wise.

    It’s exactly like a 1980s storm in the lee of the Apps, growing up in Lenoir. Many fond memories of those storms.

    We used to have a lot of Hickory posters.  Anyone know the ground truth there?

    Quite the indicator for sleet in CC from GPS radar. Watching as it approaches HKY.

    So far just steady snow here, enough down to cover most grassy areas and roads but I don't think we're even at a 1" yet.

    Just went out for a walk with the family. We have about an inch as well. All snow still. Hoping that sleet stays south of us.

  4. Just can't seem to get the bigger flakes to stick around for very long. It's been snowing for about 3 hours now, the temperature has been sub-32 the entire time, the ground and road surfaces have been cold for days, and... I have somewhere between 1/4 and 1/2 of an inch of snow.

  5. Just got back from a 20-minute walk. Instantly sticking on impact. I love that we aren’t losing any moisture to reduce the air temperature. Steady light-to-moderate snow and nothing showing up on radar overhead. Can’t wait until we get to the stuff that actually does show up on radar. Deck’s already covered, as are all the grassy and leafy areas. The roads have yet to give way, yet.
