Y'all, either my friends are drunk or something is going on that I'm not seeing. People are posting all on FB that there are flurries mixed in with the rain here in Kernersville. Can anyone confirm flurries east of the mtns? My personal opinion is that they are seeing blowing rain and mistaking it for flurries.

same down here near asheboro. I cant imagine they actually are i havent seen anything other than watching the security cams at our Boone office at work lol

server crashed. transitioning to a new server when i talked with Mike Doble from Appnet, owner of resortcams.com

Looks like the cams at www.booneweather.com are up and working. The one at the High School was working just a minute ago and will show accumulation in the grass and the Street Cams will give you an idea of road conditions in the middle of town. Might be a good alternate to the Appnet cams.

BTW almost everything we got this morning is gone. Hoping for some good stuff tonight but a little worried about the winds. Ground's getting pretty wet today.

Thought you were nuts but.....................CONFIRMED!! No Sh&T! Really, really light though. I had to let it hit my black car in order to decipher.

Edit - ok, now done. Only thing I can figure is when a cloud with heavier precip passes overhead, it's just enough to pop a few flurries down to the surface. Almost like grauple (sp?) for lack of a better description.

Are you serious? Are you sure you didn't have some margaritas at Don Juans for lunch? lol! I'm not seeing it.

OK. I just stood looking outside till I went cross eyed. I'm seeing something, but are you sure it's not just light rain blowing?

Was in walkertown...driving to kville now. Just solid rain. But yes...i had frozen something on my car for about 5 mins or so.

Snow around campus has melted off the trees and ground, snow is getting heavier though. Couple hundred feet up you can see the snow is still on the trees and ground - App State

MRX radar is really starting to light up. Never made it to our forecast high of 41° (38.3°) in Weaverville. Currently 37.2° & the wind is picking up.

MRX radar is really starting to light up. Never made it to our forecast high of 41° (38.3°) in Weaverville. Currently 37.2° & the wind is picking up.

And a chilly 38.0 here in Candler. Also watching the MRX radar with interest. This burst of moisture looks potent!

POWERSTROKE · October 29, 2012

Nothing will accumulate east of mountains. Road temps way to warm to get any work out of this

Pilotwx · October 29, 2012

Well at least will get a LEAF BLIZZARD!

triadwx · October 29, 2012

Made it up to 50.3 a little before 2. Now down to 46.8. Looking for some flurries later.

iceman · October 29, 2012

Sandy looks to be making lanfall in the next 2 hours. Really sped up.

tnweathernut · October 29, 2012

Sandy looks to be making lanfall in the next 2 hours. Really sped up.

was this increase in forward speed forecast? Some on various channels are acting surprised by it. Even saying this storm is doing a lot of things that is surprising them.

packfan98 · October 29, 2012

It's hard to believe the pressure was at 940 at the last update! What a powerful storm and trying to compare it to others would not be wise if you are in the path of this thing. I hope everyone stays safe!

NavarreDon · October 29, 2012

Down to 36.3° with very light snow in Weaverville! We have had some spurts of flurries throughout the day but it is now snowing be it lightly.

deltadog03 · October 29, 2012

Just want to say, its all hail king EURO...NAILED this 7 days out. Landfall location was shown a bit north of where it went in, but much better job than GFS.

WilkesboroDude · October 29, 2012

First flakes of the season east of the mountains!

Strong wind snow with some power outages across Wilkes. No accumulation of course. Not consistently snowing, but I can see the shields of snow hitting the mountains from here going on. Some rain mixed in at times.

strongwxnc · October 29, 2012

Reports of flakes mixed in in Polk county , nc! Southern foothills .

Blue_Ridge_Escarpment · October 29, 2012

Confirmed reports of snow finally falling on the campus at UNCA now. Need a cancellation tomorrow!

triadwx · October 29, 2012

Brad said he's breaking out his Snowmeter for the NC piedmont and foothills. Temp now down to 43.6 and continuing to drop!

CLTwx · October 29, 2012

Wow, bet they're loving it up at my alma mater (James Madison University in Harrisonburg). Assuming any of it gets to the valley floor.

Nothing but leaf blizzards and drafty windows in Earnhardtville. I'm really pulling for you guys in the mountains and foothills to get a good solid snow out of this. Stay warm and stay safe.

Wow things are about to go south for the mountains. Hopefully some of that can overcome those mountains and head east.
