SnoJoe Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Nice burst of snow and "slivers" now. Not really sleet but like shiny snowflakes. It's dusted up pretty good now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Penland Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 Been sleeting on and off but now swapped over to very light snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Had a dusting of snow here in Alexander. Also, I bought a house this summer in Alexander so that’s where my OBS will be from. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 A nice coating of about a quarter inch of snow on everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Woke up to a about the same Met, drove through snow last night from Williamsburg, KY to Newport, TN, then it was a rain/snow mix from there to about Fines Creek (that was due to rates it seemed). So figured we would see something once moisture got over the mountains. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoJoe Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Another two incher here. Third one of the winter. We need a good snow by Christmas. It's 17.4 and looks to stay cold for a few days so at least this snow will hang around for a while which is nice. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than nothing, but this time last year I was approaching 2' for the season. I'm ready for a real snow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Penland Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 Interesringly 0" of snow up on the Grandfather Ridge. Barely a dusting. About an inch of rime ice and hoarfrost on everything, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckethead Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Really nice (and cold) night on the Appalachian Trail. Took this with my Nikon around 9 heading up Big Stamp just across the state line into TN. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Looks like some higher elevation snow showers are likely on the backside as the 500mb trough stretches across the area Saturday afternoon and into Sunday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the first time I shot a moonscape with my new fisheye lens. We also saw several (for lack of a better word) UFOs to the east towards Mcdowell/Burke County. They would alternate between barely visible and as bright as the ISS repeatedly. Thought they might be aircraft but they stayed perfectly still for over ten minutes. Thought they might be satellites, but I've never seen satellites change color or reilluminate after going into the umbra. And now yall think I'm crazy, lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were three more in a perfect line before that pic was taken. It wasn't until they disappeared that I thought to get a pic. And they reappeared after 20-30 minutes. Stellarium doesnt show much of anything in that area oriented like those lights at that exact moment. Just a single satellite. I'm not claiming to know what they were, but I know I have never seen something in the sky do that before lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
