It is snowing at a pretty steady clip right now. My car windshield is covered. Glad the bird feeders are all full. We have a Christmas party to go to tonight - hoping the snow doesn't really stick.

.near term /through tonight/...
As of 235 pm saturday...
...winter weather advisory continues for north central nc with one
to two inches accumulation expected mainly on grassy surfaces...
We have received reports of about a half inch to one inch
accumulation of snow in the triad region so far with snow continuing
to fall according to observations... D.o.t. Web cams... And
measurements from the vertically-pointing mobile micro rain radar
located near gso. Isentropic lift in the 285k-300k layer continues
to strengthen according to the latest fine scale model guidance
including the hi res rapid refresh model and our local wrf... Which
depicts the maximum ascent and saturation within the dendritic
growth zone aloft over central nc occuring in the mid to late
afternoon. This lift has been sufficently strong to overcome the
initially dry subcloud layer with dew point depressions dropping
quickly with the onset of precip. Temps have already reached their
highs in the mid 30s to lower 40s and will continue to fall this
afternoon.
Funny how I'm excited for snow here but hated it in Massachusetts...
Here's Brier Creek right now, still snowing pretty heavily now, but not sticking to the streets at all.
