When does the vortex split stuff come into play?

All of the melting talk should have been saved for this upcoming week. The pack will get banged up a bit with temps in the low 30’s and sun.

Gorgeous!

Wish it was cloud all week.

Friend in ocean isle beach got 13"

Cold will be vanishing big time. Will be more normal. Hopefully it’s not lows approaching with 850 temps of -1C.

I'm going to attempt to clear the driveway enough to get one vehicle out today. It looks like the Town of Maggie Valley plowed the road leading up to the house early this morning. Those little blessings of being the last house within the Town limits I suppose. So it looks like a minor event may be possible Tuesday night into Wednesday. We'll see about that potential the next 24 to 48 hours. I've heard rumors that NCDOT is running out of salt. I hope it just a rumor locally for our Mountain Region!

Love to see an accurate qpf output for the storm. We might have gotten more on the western end of CC… My parents are in Morehead and they just sent pics of >“20… The wind makes it near impossible to measure accurately, but my “perfectly” placed plant stand is a nice proxy nonetheless, it’s been absolutely epic. And considering I moved my family from Raleigh to EI this summer, my snow curse is officially over lol

Low of 8. Glad to hear the threats for next week are looking promising. Always nice to get a couple refreshers to aid the pack and whiten things up.

We’re going to need at least two more warning events and some smaller events to get to normal. We have about six weeks to do it, but I haven’t really looked at the long range. I have to go back and calculate my totals but I think I need at least another 20” to hit my average.

Brutal.

Yeah for sure. The Euro did really well for the mountains.

The moonlight was so bright! I looked out at one point during the night and the moon looked almost ice-frosted, blurry, cirrus I assume, but still SO bright. It was almost creepy but pretty.

Any official reports? I wouldn’t doubt someone hit 2’+ I was watching that deformation zone pivot all day and night. Incredible. Wish I had the time to have chased this one

Oh believe me if we didn't have so much going on with our new house being finished next week I absolutely would have gone down there! I've already told my wife that living in lower southern MD and being retired, I am going to snow chase a couple times each winter. For one thing, I wanna see a lake effect snow.

1.5” light and fluffy, leaf blower will handle cleaning off the cars. Gotta get to it before the sun though.

Well looks like this was a score and monster and big hit for almost everyone! We set new records in GA, SC, and a lot of NC! This was a forum wide storm with so many winners and some very high totals! Congrats everyone and hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did and then some! What a long week of tracking! I need a break after the last 3 weeks. January has been brutally cold and absolutely wild and wintry all over! February looks to start calm and mild and by mid February looks like there could easily be another threat or two until the end of the month. But right now, I need to take a break from models and just breathe lol I’m sure yall do too! It’s been a great one and I enjoyed tracking with all of y’all and hope you had just as much fun! Go enjoy the snow, new records, and time with the family! Remember, the little moments are what makes life worth living every single day and don’t take it for granted! God bless to everyone in here and until next time, goodbye! [emoji3587][emoji119][emoji3063][emoji322][emoji120] .

That's how it is up on the Tug. Average highs this time of year is like 22. With sunny skies and no wind it feel like it's 50 but nothing is melting. Just a spectator place. Windy and cold here in the frozen lowlands.

Still snowing here. Don't worry though, I'm staying safe
