7 inches of snow and still coming down

NC mountains...near the Tn border...heavy wet snow....electric is blinking on and off but so far is coming back...we have 7 inches and its still coming down pretty heavy....

We have nudged forecast accumulations up one more time... now expecting 5"-10" (isolated higher amounts) east and 3"-7" west. (See the discussion section for details on what we mean by east/west today.) Snow began in earnest about noon after a .5" to 1" appetizer along the Blue Ridge this morning. As of 4 PM, I have 7" at our house (near the Blue Ridge east of Boone) and have many reports of over 4" including Beech Mtn. Snow has been falling at a rate of 1.5"+ per hour now for 3 hours and will continue through the evening hours. Accumulating snow will be over by midnight. Winds will increase as the upper-level low gets closer this afternoon and tonight. Temperatures tonight and Monday will be bitterly cold. In contrast, much milder weather is coming for the 2nd half of this

I love driving in the snow. The danger is the other idiot that doesn't know how to.

I just spun out on some black ice and crashed my car on my way into work.

People are crashing all over route 93 in and out of Boston.
