No snow or sleet here but did lose power as I was getting ready for bed late last night, and earlier in the night I was remarking that I didn't really expect that we were going to have a thunderstorm, but I was hearing thunder.
That was fun, and by fun, I mean not really. My flashlight isn't working, so I had to use feel to get back to my bedroom to get my tablet for light for me so I could finish getting ready for bed, then I wasn't able to use my electric blanket in bed.

Muhly grass. I'd have that stuff everywhere if it was more accessable

Didn't do a proper snow board, but measured 2.75-3 inches in several spots around the yard and 3.5 inches on cars and raised surfaces as it was winding down last night. A few miles due north of Easley, SC.

Solid 2.5-3” of heavy paste this am. Already falling off the trees but grabbed a few foggy pictures this am
Dicey drive this morning from Cashiers to Maggy Valley. Super sketch but we made it. Beautiful ride. Exhausted

how it looked here NW of Huntsville 
I’m really surprised to see ROA got screwed over so badly. I thought they were basically 100% guaranteed to get warning criteria snow. That’s rough.
Also, good to see some of our upstate SC and NE GA folks get a pretty solid snow!

4.5 inches here in cashiers NC at the mtn house (3950ft).. fell in my forecasted range for this area 3-6inches
Nice. I had some measurements around 6” but I’m no professional spotter. The snow got noticeably thicker the further we drove north towards Maggie valley

I believe GSP and local mets could have been a little more transparent in letting the public know that what happened was very possible instead of being conservative and downplaying the event. Caught many people off guard here in the Northern Upstate (North of I-85) and there was accidents and wrecks everywhere. There are legitimate reports of Warning Criteria amounts and we didn't even get WWA until after it was too late.
Still snowing here at Cataloochee

I measured 4 to 4.5 in places around Maggie valley talking to family in liberty area they had 2.5-3. So technically by going to Maggie valley we saw 1-1.5 inches more. This pic was taken outside your motel 7am this morning. During my early walks

The year of the flizzards continues in White House. Such a strange winter seeing snow fall so often but not a lot to show for it.
On a side note I use to have such beautiful green grass in the backyard. I guess 2 Rottweilers over 120 pounds is not good for it.
