Sw NC weather Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Fine flakes pouring down in Northern Macon. Everything starting to get covered. Seems like it’s been a while that we’ve had a good winter stretch like we seem to be entering. Hopefully fun times ahead. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Ran into steady snow near Hendersonville this evening. It's flat out putting it down at the airport. Roads are becoming white. Heard Leicester was a parking lot... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powering flickering here in Rutherford County as I type.. Yeah the wind is ripping here too. The power grid is still not fully back to normal with all the infrastructure damage. Especially in Yancey and Mitchell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mine for 1K on amazon black friday and can power my whole place. I moved here from the NC coast and had a generator there. I bought a condo up here, so I didn't think I'd have the space or ability to have one if needed. I do have a kerosene heater, which I got after the storm for these situations, so I might fire it up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherHawk Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Very strong winds here in North West Watauga, snow pouring sideways. Be safe everyone if you have to go out. Looking forward to the next system, hoping our friends and colleagues to the south and our piedmont can get a decent thump this winter, looks promising. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckethead Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 8° with 3" on the board and light snow still falling. That's more than I thought would be on my board with the wind blowing it around so much. Juat under 31.5" on the season.Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Valley Steve Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Surprisingly I picked up an inch and a half overnight. 21° and lightly snowing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
