1.5" overnight. Dumped on and off all day at the store in Blowing Rock but didn't add up to much with the wind. Saw quite a few snownados. Currently 12. Pretty nice day.

Currently webcams showing nothing on the ground in Banner Elk. Currently foggy with flurries here in Blowing Rock. What is this winter?

Not sure what happened to the NW trend but it seems to have taken a vacation lately. We did get 1.5" overnight which was very nice.

Been dumping flakes here at times. Windy even in the hole here at the house. Down to 33 after a high of 55 this morning.

Cold front is here. Big wind gusts behind that last area of showers and temp down 4 degrees in 5 minutes.

Crocus have popped up and are blooming in the yard. Always fascinating to see flowers this early in the year up here.

12z Euro is a dream. EPS looking solid, too. Extended GFS is NWF after NWF event. Definitely the potential for a solid couple weeks ahead.

The escarpment has about a third to half inch of extra rain stuck to the trees, too. That will add to the runoff.

12z Euro tries to join the party. Nice storm for the northern mountains.

Quick sidetrack to the Parkway Bridge over 321 for a couple shots on my lunchbreak.

BREMCO at almost 10k outages. Power has flickered here a few times. Nearly up to freezing although I suspect Deep Gap down towards Triplet will be below for a while longer. Remeasured and have a solid half inch here in Blowing Rock now. Rates have picked up enough to minimize additional accums I think.

Had to use one of the stores fabric rulers cause I forgot mine at home but almost a half inch here in Blowing Rock.

A few more pics.

Between 0.3 and 0.4" here. Most I've seen in a long time. Enough to drop some big limbs and lay the rhodo bushes down.

About 2/10" of ice on the trees out front. Just dipped back to 29.8 after sitting at 30.1 for a while. Really surprised we don't have more. Air temp sat below 30 most of the day with only light rain for the most part. Odd.
