Sounds like typical Charlotte snow, here for a couple hours, then completely melted.

I wouldn't mind one more big snow; my sons and I had a blast this last time. We went around picking up sheets of ice & breaking them, it was very satisfying. I couldn't believe how thick the ice still was, after several days. A rarity here.

Amazing how different forecasts can be. Weather.com makes no mention of snow nor sleet.

What Sunny posted may have come from weather.gov originally because that's pretty much what I saw when I was there a few minutes ago. Then I went to weather.com and also saw no mention of anything besides rain. it is odd that weather reports differ so much, but I see it between those two sites all the time.

EDIT-I just realized that the weather on CNN.com has said it's 49 and sunny all day, including when I first looked at it at about 6 AM. It was not sunny at 6 AM, for those who aren't up that early.

That info comes from NOAA, which is the national weather service (weather.gov).

All of the leaves are coming out. Does anybody think this cold snap will kill everything off? A few years ago when I was living in Arkansas, we had a cold snap in April where the temperatures got down into the teens, after everything bloomed. It killed everything and it didn't get green again until June.

I check the extended forecast and so far there is no prediction for temps in teens.

Except for the last two years we often in years prior receive a cold snap in the Spring. I remember one year it damaging blooms of Dogwoods but not leaves, they do not bloom til mid to late April.

Flowers & budding plants either need to be brought inside or covered with old sheet if frost is predicted.
