It does seem like all our winter events in the last couple of years have been during the middle of the afternoon. I guess with afternoon temps in the upper 20's right now though, beggars can't be choosers.

It will be dark by 5 PM.

As cold as it is, I dont think it will much matter. Just my .02

All the bands that are coming through Rosie's by and your house are coming straight to me. Love how it just keeps developing!

Man it's brutal out there with the wind. Temp 31 and winds are gusting to 35mph plus. I've had on and off flurries all afternoon and just had the best shower I've had yet. Not enough to stick of course and Nothing impressive to say the least but I'm happy to see anything as usually I'm left out completely in situations like these.

Going to be really brutal tomorrow. Those 20 to 30mph winds are going to bite with temps in the teens and 20s.

Just drove up about 3 miles NE to go to Lowes. Got our Christmas Tree in the snow!:weight_lift: It was pouring snow up there... seriously. Light accumulation in the grass. Then I get home and it didn't even look like it had snowed :axe:

Send it on over! We're still having light snow with a good dusting on top of expose surfaces (car, deck, etc.). Down to 27.

Getting moderate/heavy rain with the sun partially out and the wind is blowing it sideways.

Just very cool to see something like this.

whats interesting about that mass that started around here and went through Hickory is the NAM had it showing up for several runs. Still not cold enough for it to be snow or sleet here with it though. REally windy out now and the temp is falling. Now 44.

By far, the heaviest snow of the day in Adairsville. Visibilities down to about 1/2 mile.

Awesome :thumbsup: Back to flurries here, and the car is once again mostly bare after a powerful gust of wind (I think there is a wind tunnel effect going on between the house and the hill beside it). Plenty of snow in sheltered areas though.
