Decent light snowfall for about an hour now in Hickory. Too warm and too light of rates to stick. But, sure is pretty to watch. Beautiful Saturday afternoon. [emoji16] Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Finally spitting a few flakes here in Hickory. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

6.29 was my storm total. Crazy wet winter so far. Down to 42.7 here now. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

5.36 inches since midnight here IMBY in Hickory. Just. Crazy. Still pouring outside.

4.40 inches since midnight here IMBY in Hickory. Rain cranking up again after a brief lull. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Here's a couple short videos of Dry Falls too:

Yeah. Drove by Sapphire Valley yesterday on a tour of local waterfalls. It was rather pathetic-looking. There may not be any snow left at all after today's torrents. Dry falls on the Cullasaja River was rip-rouring, though:

It was simply near a RR crossing. Pulled into a volunteer FD right next to it. Hopped out of the car and snapped a few pics near the tracks. Here it is on Google Maps: The other one was from the church parking lot in this Google image:

Just got home from CLT. Went north on 16. Nothing on ground until construction zone began. Then nothing in Conover either. Got home and still a good half inch here. Based on my wife's description, I think we had an inch several hours ago before the heaviest stuff ended. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Nice! My wife reporting around 0.5-1.0 inch in Viewmont. Posted a few pics in the foothills thread. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Snow pics from back home in NE Hickory courtesy of my wife. Now, I'm in Charlotte with an ugly 38 and rain... Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Snow pics from in and around Bostic, NC. Great spot for snowfall this morning,@strongwxnc. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Training got canceled early. In Forest City. Now have some time to kill. Maybe head back up 64 toward South Mts. Or maybe head east toward Gastonia. Higher radar returns are that way. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Beautiful heavy snow at Isothermal CC. There for training right now. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

BullCity (AKA QueenCity), I'm pretty confident this has been your only decade since 2010, so I don't think anyone can argue with your statement. [emoji16] Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Beautiful pics, Buckethead. Thanks for sharing. I'm quite jealous. Saw a few flurries today at the intersection of I-40 and I-26, but that's the extent of my my winter weather observations so far for this winter.

At least someone's getting the snowstorm of a lifetime... Newfoundland asks for military help

^Wow, Grit. That is so sad.

Quite what?

There remains lots of potential in the next several weeks. The 06Z GFS has cool to seasonal temperatures in NC for the entirety of its run following Friday. There is also lots of opportunities for precipitations. The trick is matching the two together. I like our chances.

Crazy little storm cell on the extreme NW of this rainfall passed right over my house this morning around 4:30 AM. Five brilliant strikes of lightning, each rolled by rumbles of thunder so loud that the house shook. Then, the rain. 0.51 inch in ten minutes! It seemed tropical in it's intensity. Then it was all over. No more rain for us overnight as the axis of precipitation seems oriented in a training fashion from SW to NE just to our south. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Ice fog?! Fortunately, it's only "patchy". Can you drive through a fog of ice? Does it hurt to walk into it? Is it penetrable? Just. Crazy. Cold. Amazing. Edit: I just checked their forecast on NWS too. It adds the phrase, "Sunny". Can you actually use that phrase when there are less than 5 hours of "daytime" and the sun will be very low on the horizon? The ice fog may actually obscure it. Edit 2: Reading their AFD is just unreal. Check this out: "For the Fairbanks areas, near power plants, some industrial flurries may occur as the atmosphere wrings out the moisture in the power plant plumes." Industrial flurries! I don't think you should make snow cream with that snow.

Beautiful pic,@bess. Unfortunately, it was pretty much a non-event here in Hickory. Not even a glistening when I looked out at the trees this morning. Temp rose overnight like@jburns was observing to my east. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk
