Been pouring down again for the last hour. Over 2 inches now. Here, the sticking on the ground line is about 1300 feet. Or was when I went down to town about an hour ago. I'd wager some of those 5-7 inch totals some high res models were trying to spit out on the mountain tops here will verify. Above 2500 feet there was 3 inches at 4pm.

I seriously just thought about you when I looked out at my deck. I thought, I bet John has 2 -3" based on my current 1/4 inch, lol.

It looks like you're just west of a heavy band that's been rolling for several hours. A friend in Stoney Fork on the back side of Cross Mountain in far SW Campbell had an inch before dark at around 1300 feet elevation.

Had a nice snow burst earlier when I was outside in the jacuzzi, living the dream with a nice beverage in hand. 

Still snowing lightly, but looks to be winding down. Not much, but will probably end this with a solid dusting. Hey, that's pretty great for the central valley in a NWF event. I can't complain as that's an over performer considering the situation. 

Any reports from Johnson City? That was the best location I have lived in for these types of events. Seems like we could squeeze out an inch, which is feasting for NWF in the valley.

It is hammering right now. We may get another inch or two if this keeps up

Yeah man I just went for a walk. It’s gorgeous out there. True snow globe. 
 

I head home to Atlanta at 11 but thank y’all for having me! It was a great time and will be back again soon to Tennessee

I ended up with a solid dusting. I felt like it snowed for 6-8 hours, but most of it just melted on impact. I never got below 32 until after 2am when most of the moisture let up. I was hoping for a dusting here in KNX, so I'll chalk it up to a win and congrats to everyone else who scored in the mountains!

I finished at 15" here in Wolf Laurel (Yancey county, ½ mile from the border). Someone a few hundred feet above me and about a mile east picked up 23.5". The flow was coming from the nnw, and when it does we always clean up here. ccfb099fa7ebd4a19b9419b1de7ff789.jpg4d7b2529cf1bd363345c5159ac2f6d8a.jpg
