December 8-10 Winter Storm Obs

Recommended Posts

Woke up to 2” of snow overnight.  31 and moderate sleet right now.  Winds really whipping.  Living at northern tip of Gaston County near border with Lincoln and Cleveland I thought we’d be in the 6” - 12” range.  Wise to pay attention to NAM inside 48 hrs. Can’t say I’m disappointed though. I’m 53 and can count on 1 hand number of winter storms I’ve experienced before Christmas.  Now heading out to sled with grandson!

Honestly, being a Gaston native, I’m surprised y’all didn’t do better

Topped out at 1.75" down near Fuquay.  Grass barely covered!  It has been a rain/sleet mix for the past 2 hours.  

About the same here just across the Johnston county line, maybe a little less but first time I've seen the ground white at all in December at my house since I moved down in 2010.

Mooresville just or over 3.5". The sleet cutoff never ceases to amaze me. Glad i didn't fly back home for this one. 

You could have flew back home, just flew into the AVL regional airport and got a hotel room nearby there. Widespread foot+ totals.

Started snowing here about 1AM. Lasted about 30 - 45 minutes and switched to sleet/freezing rain. Dusting on the ground and 34.5 degrees when I hit the sack at 2PM. Got up at 7:30 and a good 2-3 inches of snow on the ground. No way to tell how much of the snow got beaten down by sleet & freezing rain. Currently 30.2 degrees and a good amount of sleet falling from the sky.
