Steady snow in Boone. The band to the west is looking healthy! Overall, this is going to be one of my favorite all-time snowfalls. Simply because there was so much doubt for so long. Hell, two days ago the narrative was “the moisture isn’t going to make it far enough west and the mountains will probably just get some flurries.”

The 12z NAM continues to look robust for tonight into tomorrow. 

We stopped right at 10" but I'm hoping the clipper can bury the ruler.  

Third accumulating snowfall for me this season.  Awesome introduction to living in the high country!

Since this one winding down a bit lets push things out a little. Has anyone had a chance to look at the Tues. night and the Thurs. night/Friday systems?

I was looking at the Tuesday storm last night, the 18z GFS had a full blown Miller b that developed a little too late to really do us any good, but haven't searched anything since then.

The Tuesday event looks ok currently.  Still a bit away. The 12z gfs looks like a decent upslope event. Out past that is like throwing darts at a dart board

Yes. With the exception of flurries or a brief snow shower that could break containment from the TN border counties tonight.  

Yeah, though it should be interesting with the possibility of blowing snow from the trees with the wind. Was just outside and a small gust created an artificial blizzard around me momentarily.  At least there could be some flakes in the air! Hope the mountains score big.

A WWA for "up to one inch"? I guess they are combining the impacts with the last storm.
