Maybe, but waiting for winter to start is hard.  It sucks wasting half of the winter.  At least we’re not torching.  It’s just unfortunate that there is no cold air anywhere nearby.

I have already had a foot of snow.  If we get 70's from here on out this was a great year! 

Deformation band setting up?

Just picked up a new 1" in North Durham county.  Adding this to my foot from yesterday! Nice moderate snow coming down with no mixing and good size flakes.

I have a foot!  Looks like this may be it since the sleet/rain line is getting close. I hope the snow can hang around another hour or two

6 inches in North Durham county! #DecemberToRemember

Heavy snow north Durham county.  2 inches on the ground and it's just dumping snow!

Moderate snow in North Durham county.  Grass and vehicles are covered. Roads are still clear

When you get heavy freezing rain a good portion doesn't actually accreate. You can cut those totals on those maps by at least half.

Freezing rain is awful.  Had to go through one in the late 90's and lost power for three weeks.  Even if you have a wood fireplace, cold showers in January are not fun....

Wow 2.2 inches of QPF, all sleet -- that's what, 5-6 inches of sleet? Surely that would be some sort of a record. 

1" of QPF -= 2.5-3" sleet

always a north shift as we get close to go time

Holy crap. 1.39 freezing rain 

That is terrible if true

The column is less saturated, wait for the heavy precip to arrive before comparing

^This

comparing apples to oranges if the column isn't saturated

NWS Raleigh just issued a briefing.  Good info.  They have a lot of uncertainty in snow amounts between US1 and 85.  Said that anything north and west of 85 is looking at double digit snow amounts and will stay mostly snow.  Heavier bands of precip will be of the frozen variety for Wake county and when it gets lighter that is when the transition to rain will occur.

Definitely a reduction area wide on the GEFS.

Maybe NAM is on to something...
