Propane sold out at the local grocery store. All gone from the nearby Home Depot.

A lot of panic buying at the grocery store per the clerk I spoke with today.

Harris Teeter out of propane here too.

I-81 from ROA up to at least I-64 treated (they were on a 2nd pass on my trip back south). 64 to RIC treated. A bit if 295 i was on from 64 to Glen Allen treated. Roanoke city had not started yet that I can tell—usual heavily treated streets near hospital still bare.

Other than Luke, I may be furthest N on the 81 corridor…Ill play-by-play as much as I can..temps, dews, and p type obs

The high might even be stronger than 1050 if it's already at that level over there

Luckily I got my 500 gallon buried propane tank refilled last month. I’ve got a a generator and 20 gallons of fuel for it. Luckily I had my wife going by hardware stores and the grocery store earlier in the week to get stuff while I was out of town until today. I went by to get more flashlights and batteries from Ace hardware yesterday and needless to say that place has been picked to the bones. Lanterns gone, down to 4 small propane tanks for mini stoves or propane gas lanterns. Firewood is gone.

My college professor announced that UNC Asheville will be launching weather balloons every 3 hours. Data will be at this link.

 

[NWMSGuy]

Latest runs of the HRRR model show quite a bit more ZR accumulation totals over this area. Wonder if further adjustments buy the NWS will be needed with their graphics.

 

[BourbonLumberjack]

Dewpoints are begging to drop in, lost of teends and low 20s now spilling for the northwestern mountains working their way down WNC. Statesville's DP went from 29-26 in the last 2 hours

 

[ForsythSnow]

Clear skies in the Piedmont of NC. Temps dropping fast.

 

[CaryWx]

Ok Brent...be sure to give us your story

 

[BlueRidgeFolklore]

Checking in from right outside Hendersonville. First major weather system since Helene, I’m going to be really interested in seeing how the infrastructure and trees hold up, and how many of those that were damaged from Helene finally come down.

Currently 42.6°

Plenty of trees and poles that were neglected are still leaning down here. Number one worry is a tree on the house

My number one worry as well. FEMA contractors did a lot of work on my property over the summer and ended up removing around 6 trees from my 1 acre, that were compromised. However a couple months ago a large red oak fell and had split about 4 feet up from the base. The arborist said he was seeing a lot of trees that were damaged from Helene but only now are coming down.
