Here in Triad, this is the worst wind Ive seen in years this morning during those storms and still outside, on way to work. Interested to see peak gust latter today, has to be 50-60mph.

 

[BullCityWx]

TDF in Timberlake is reporting -UP which usually means sleet. Don’t know about ground truth.

 

[NickyBGuarantee]

Wow already 3 inches here and a massive band heading our way

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

That band from Marion to blowing rock is laying the hammer down. Blowing snow reports l:

Yeah, definitely feels like a tropical storm with the constant roar of sustained winds. Probably the biggest deal here instead of rain and snow. Very underplayed.

Temp went from 47 to 42 in about 15 minutes sheesh

Tried talking about this a day or so ago but got shut down and was told gusts weren’t over done per usual on models

 

[NickyBGuarantee]

Winds are howling right now above my head .. when you can hear it from inside the home you know it means business I’ve never seen so many wind damage reports on RadarScope before

 

[NickyBGuarantee]

Well this should be something

 

[SimeonNC]

I have a hypothesis that the UHI in CLT is slowing down the temp drop. I'm down to 46.4 from 47.5 like twenty minutes ago though.

I think it has to do more w the lull in precip currently. We get some heavy bands then it will plummet

 

[LukeBarrette]

All snow now here in Roanoke

 

[NickyBGuarantee]

Looks like it’s developing an eye in the upstate … holy cow this is one impressive system

 

[GarnerNC]

Some of the heaviest rains I've ever heard in my life this morning.
