Wow - they also had a TOG there yesterday. That’s a lot of living in the panhandle in 24 hours!
 
Honestly if this banding keeps up I could see solid rates for maybe an hour or so .. already starting to try and stick on roofs
 
Finally got to see some flakes here as the band was pulling north. I call that a win after this last week. Congratulations to folks getting accumulation. There’s gonna be some odd looking climate records for today. Many locations in the Triad will have measurable snowfall on a day that the high was in the 60s.
 
We are planning to leave about 5pm, likely taking 1 down to about Richmond, expecting about a 5 hour drive in total back to Greenville. We do not have power, and tree damage is approaching severe, you can hear chain saws in the distance and transformers going. Even inside we can hear the trees snapping.

There is a golf cart in that first image, maybe 700-800’ away.
