Blue_Ridge_Escarpment Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Not going to amount to much in the high country it appears. Precip rapidly shutting off on the NW side. Who would have thought the foothills and upstate SC, NE GA would be the winners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarmNose Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 It’s throwing down at sugar right now. Ray is about to bust on this one if they can keep wringing that moisture out. Still calling for a dusting to 2” lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooneWX Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Rates picked up tremendously - the type of rates that can overcome temps above freezing. What a surprise to save the season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 South Mountains state park may be the winner other than places like Rainforrest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatLander48 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Props to the NAM for sticking to its guns. However in Boone were gonna get barely a dusting and if we get any drizzle itll disappear immediately.

Sw NC weather Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Well it was fun to see the snow flying but we lacked precipitation.

SnoJoe Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Congrats to all who are seeing snow. Just a sloppy inch or 2 here. Moderate to light rates but most all roads are fine. Just got back from Burnsville and it's really not sticking very much because of temp issues. Still waiting on a good snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
