Yep. We're good too, I hope!
I am not looking forward to the
low temps next week.

No chatter at all on Mitchell. I guess
it's down? Randy's repeater was a
huge help during Helene.

Mostly sleet last night in Hendersonville transitioned to freezing rain this morning. About 1/4-1/2" of sleet as the base. Was able to shovel off my sidewalk so it didnt hard freeze to it yet

Coat of ice with a little snow in Winston Salem.
Accumulated maybe half inch.  Power still on.  
Still lightly falling and supposed to pick up the pace.

We had a few gusts of winds that helped knock
a lot of ice out of the trees an hour ago. The rain
has stopped. Temp at 33. Very calm out. I hope it
stays that way...

Lost power at 3 today. Genny has made us very comfortable.  My road is pretty awful in Dana. 4 wheeler enjoyed doing donuts though

I'm near Hickory, no power outages and mostly got sleet and snow.  I'll figure out road conditions tomorrow.

Lots of people around us have lost power, but we haven't.
Ice & snow accumulation was minimal, but secondary
roads are slick. We'll do a test run out to check for trees
down in our development, to see if that needs work, and
then decide if I'm going to put the plow on the side by
side & start scraping driveways (I mostly do the widows
driveways & a few others).

It's 26 here now.

Seems like our area dodged the bullet, but apparently
Nashville, was hit pretty hard, among others.

Stay warm!

24 degree & about 2 inches of snow,
so far & still snowing here.

At this temp, it's a light dry snow, so
it's not sticking to the trees, so far.

New London at least 5" of snow if not more.  Still coming down

Here in Hickory we got about 5 inches so far and I doubt we'll add another inch overnight.  The snow is very light and fluffy so I'll get out my leaf blower and clean things up in the morning.

I'll consider this thread closed for now.
I am looking forward to the forecast 60
degrees here next Monday.

Come on springtime!

Be safe!
