EAST slope flow

That is just one example. The total amount across many locations and timeframes is too vast for me to list in one thread. But I have plenty of more examples.

6” and still coming down

GFS actually decent. Looks almost sameish..maybe a tad wetter

8" has fallen on the ground at the CLT Airport. 9" observed in Uptown Charlotte (Charlotte City Center).

6" here with tiny but persistent flakes. I've begun the process of reclaiming the driveway areas I chipped ice off of earlier this week. Beautiful day, I was even able to get the wife outside a bit.

Still snowing with 21 degrees in Lewisville. Definitely lightened up in intensity. Have 5.5 ish on the ground. We may squeeze out another inch this evening. Looks like Salisbury to Hendersonville are big winners in this are with 10 - 12. Congrats

Really nice snow in north Raleigh now .

Not going to accumulate anything with this light pixie dust falling

Dog days of winter??

The CLT area still has a ways to go with this one!

Happy for everyone who cashed out! For those who didn’t, it be like that sometimes unfortunately. We still have 5-6 weeks left of winter down here and a lot can happen in that time frame. Just happened to be a very rare snowstorm for parts of NE GA, SC, and NC that hardly ever see any snow. I’ll admit I did think E/NE NC would get hit a lot harder, but damn that dry slot was no joke. I’ve been through many of those types of storms down here. Normally the warm nose always gets us and areas to our north and west get all the snow, this time it happened to be completely opposite and we finally cashed in. This is the first time in my life that we have had back to back winter with more than 3” in each one. Last 4”+ snowfall, minus today, was January of 2011 for us. Long time waiting! .

Pouring again here in Newton! What a great storm!

Snow has picked back up here. Blowing sideways this afternoon with a temp of 7 degrees.

Couple hours ago in Welcome, NC.

That's awesome! Im surprised Gatlinburg got that much!

Anyone here from Asheboro? Looks like they may be in the sweet spot?

Right I thought 2015 was coming through the door. Now it's cold and dry? Wth

Almost a full reversal

Mecklenburg is huge county too. Davidson, Cornelius, Huntersville in North Meck will snow (which are 25-30+ miles from Charlotte City Center (Uptown), but CLT will get nothing at all. They are all a part of the same Metro Charlotte (CSA) area including Hickory/Morganton (Unifour) counties. Snow there in the North, and rain and potential severe on the south in the same Metro here. Topography can play a role in weather and deformation bands setting up more than one thinks.

Im not really complaining this time around yet, but that snow 2 weekends ago was 15 minutes of mood flakes for me. Then last weekend was maybe .3” sleet and .1 zr. And now this.

BIg increase on GFS

Halfway through this winter and a 4th night in a row in the single digits with snowbanks as high as 5-6 feet, I am actually the most optimistic in a long time about the future of our winters. This winter and last winter, we have had a lot of cold and we’ve seen snowstorms to the south of us, and these aren’t winters that were supposed to be favorable going in. I know we’re jealous of Charlotte right now, but hear me out. Growing up here, I’ve seen plenty of misses to the south and bitter cold like this. I’ve seen both stretches of frustrating winters and blizzard bonanzas. We’re also in the middle of a long term drought. None of this is new. It’s as familiar as when I was in grade school. When (not if) the drought breaks and we get another winter where favorable patterns set in, we will get hit again… and hard. I guarantee it.

This January was much warmer in the Arctic and the CONUS than 1977.
