Raleigh went from snow hole to being crushed. Awesome! Y'all are going to do pretty well... not Outer Banks well, but well.

Looks like y'all in Raleigh are finally in for some fun.

I'm pulling for Raleigh! I lived there for a decade in the 90s and 2000s before moving to NYC. Kind of looks like the bands of snow from the developing coastal and bands to the west are about to merge over Raleigh. That would give Raleigh a shot at something decent.

FWIW - NOAA gives NYC a ~50% chance of snow for Saturday night and Sunday.

From NE folk:

For anyone doing PBPs that aren't seasoned at this, let's hold off on pronouncements until it's obvious how the model run is progressing.

That was a fantastic storm that was almost a complete surprise. I lived in Raleigh at the time... a couple hours before the first flakes, the forecast was for mostly rain.

Per NOAA, CP ended the day with 1.82 inches.

Snow showers with the sun out...

The GFS has intermittently shown a big storm impacting the region for almost a week now. The 21st, 23rd, and 24th model runs looked good... just not the recent runs.

CP has recorded 1.61 LQP as of 8PM. That's an impressive Winter storm... and not that common for NYC.

Visibility has reduced further. Mostly snow in Battery Park City.

Visibility reduced again in southern Manhattan... probably a sleet and snow mix.

Mostly sleet in southern Manhattan... pretty heavy.
