Happy to see some snow, will have to admit a little disappointed , only received around an inch at my house in Candler NC.  I was hoping for the low end of 3-4 inches but while looking at the snow maps leading up to the storm I could tell this wasn't the classic Miller A we here in the mountains are use to.  Seems like the precipitation could not overcome the dry air around West Asheville area but I was noticing the heaviest moisture stayed to the south in Georgia of which I'm glad for those folks.  We may get ours yet, its' young into the winter.

Not an exact measurement, but have around 1.5 to 2 inches. Not bad. Better than anything since January 2022, so I will take it!

Congrats, I estimate less than an inch here on the east side, had some sleet in the late afternoon.  Less to shovel off the driveway, so that's a win ;)

Exactly! We will still have chances.

This morning as I look at this event it really did well all in all. The Buncombe snow hole is real.  The foothills did ok. But most along the border and from Haywood south did very well. Most saw between 3 to 6 inches plus and that's a huge win in my book. The NAM did verify to a point but so did the Euro AI and the GFS. This was a win for most of us and it ended the snow drought for many.

No clue what we ended up with. I measured 2” before I went to bed last night with snow still falling.  Everything wind whipped today so maybe I’ll find a sheltered spot to measure.   I’d guess we hit the 3” storm total mark after factoring in sleet knocking down and compacting a little things before I got home last night.

14 and moderate snow at 11am with 9" now. My dogs peed on my board, so I cleaned it and picked up another inch since then. (I guess it's their spot lol.) This is a comparable spot next to it on another board. 8.5-9.5" depending on where you look in my yard.I found a couple of 14" drifts down the hill too.

Just got back from this mornings adventure.  It's snowing lightly with an additional .75 inches best I can tell because the wind is howling.  Temp has dropped to 23 also. 

Great stuff guys! This was as stated by gsp. 1" of snow and then everything else!

Had some great sledding time with the family as the pasture today. 38 now with gusts over 20.

Was not an over performer but was the first time since 2022 that we have had something. So win in my book!

 

Keep those pictures coming guys. You all have great spots.
