yeah snowing still at a decent clip. Should get colder through the day. Upstream looks good.

[WNC_Fort]

Snowing at UNCA now. 

[Met1985]

Another heavy band coming through know. Visibility has dropped again.

[AirNelson39]

Moderate snow in Boone with tiny fine flakes, still managing to lay though. Temp is down to 32

If it's that bad haha you may want to call the school system.  Classes are still going on.

they just issued early dismissal at noon. Most everything is white here. We are back to light snow know but temp down to 31 degrees. If this keeps up we will see a few inches.

I know Madison, Mitchell, Yancey, Avery and Watauga were all closed today and Swain closed at 10.  Looks like Haywood County will be the last to dismiss. That's kinda unusual in a NW flow system that they start getting it last.

[franklin NCwx]

Macon is dismissing early too.

[SnoJoe]

Wow. Nice obs guys. Nothing more than a couple of showers and flurries here. Even saw a brief peak at the sun a little while ago. Looks like Madison is going to get a quick thump in a few minutes per radar. Cold, down to 26.4 with a 22/G 28 wind.

[South_MountainWX]

Lght snow in North Cove,NC. Watched the temperature drop twelve degrees in four miles. On to grandfather pictures soon.

[Hvward]

Light snow in Candler, NC but no accumulation to speak of. Agree Met upstream looks solid.

[Met1985]

Flake size is increasing with better moisture upstream. At the hospital just snowing lightly but at home we are getting pounded.

[Blue_Ridge_Escarpment]

Maybe I'm looking at something wrong but the moisture upstream looks unimpressive to me. Past few radar updates has had it weakening big time

Yeah it looks like the moisture will pull back to just the boarder counties. Still Snowing At Home But Blue Skies Here At work.

Looks like to me though that the moisture is not even making it into TN now from Kentucky, getting eat up.  On campus at UNCA they are reporting an inch.  Little surprise for the valley folks!

nice! Congrats to UNCA! Well one thing is that these locolized bands do not show up well on radar. That's when you know the moisture is really pulling back to the boarder only.

[Met1985]

I have seen it do this also to just pick up around 5 or 6 in the evening and dump.

[Met1985]

Looking at the next few days we will be below normal for the most part with a day warmup and the another front with some snow showers for the mountains but nothing big.

[Met1985]

The bands look better from TN as the snow has picked back up in town know. SnowING moderately.

That was me making that one inch report on UNCA Weather Twitter account. What an amazing surprise snow we had today with an inch in just a hour!

[Met1985]

Still snowing heavily along the boarder and we are actually are getting a dusting here at the hospital.

[Met1985]

Still getting snow right along the boarder here. Also was watching that piece of energy coming down in the midwest that could increase some snow chances tomorrow morning possibly.

[SnoJoe]

Storm (if you want to call it that) total here is around an inch. It's cold, 13.1 with the wind at 18. I don't really see much on the horizon for us worth anything. 'Bout ready for spring if this keeps up.

[SnoJoe]

Temps rose overnight from a low of 9.2 at 4 am to 15.2 at 8am. Looking forward to half way warm day tomorrow.

[SnoJoe]

What's up for Wed. night and Thurs. time frame. Doesn't seem to have a lot of chatter although Ray is saying almost a repeat of yesterday. Doesn't look that vigorous to me but I know nothing. Chime !

[Met1985]

Joe right know it looks to be moisture starved. Yeah I would say about the same as yesterday maybe even a little bit less. Right know not mucheck to ride home about. An inch of snow and a low of 12 degrees.
