16 at Jacksonville is impressive for the date

Mid-winter cold tonight

Absolute mayhem on Triad roads this morning

Finally popped the Piedmont’s snow cherry

PTI broke its historic snow drought this morning with at least .4” recorded by 2:00 am.

I would say this early December event overperformed Nicely.

Dusting in most of Winston so far

Light snow starting as far east as East Winston-Salem, 29 degrees

That’s shocking. I would thought CLT has had snow in the period at least once per decade.

Temperatures are below freezing in the Triad now, so anything that falls will stick

Mitch West: Looks like more than a few flakes to me. I know all about the dry air and all that, but expect some very light snowfall accumulations across the Piedmont tonight. A dusting to a half inch for some areas. (A half inch is enough to make the ground white by the way) Now if it had been warm the days leading up to this event like we've seen many times in the past, then my tune would be different. But we've had multiple nights in the 20s with daytime highs only in the 50s at most. I am going for the over here, if I am burned then I'm cool with it. https://x.com/scweather_wx/status/1863678810593329200?s=46&t=5ny5bPgiX5Vy3bQMvYTY5g

Allan Huffman: I think the area with the best chance to see flakes tonight will be bounded by I I-77 to the W, HWY 421 to the E, I-40 to the N and Hwy 74 to the S. So from CLT to say Pinehurst to Pittsboro to Yadkinville A dusting is possible. Best time for a flurry in Triangle probably 1-5 am

NWS Raleigh- “While model consensus favors generally just a couple or four tenths of an inch liquid equivalent, a combination of cold ground temperatures and high snow ratios may allow for a light coating of measurable snow favored over the srn Piedmont and wrn Sandhills.”

There’s a chance

Eric Webb: Ironically, 2 things that are normally associated with milder winters in the eastern US & were cited by some as reasons for a milder winter again this year (westerly QBO & a strong stratosphere polar vortex/NAM) are actually going to be working to try & keep it colder this winter via enhancing the -EPO/+TNH pattern. Every situation is different & interactions between most teleconnections are non-linear. https://x.com/webberweather/status/1863196442069754159?s=46&t=5ny5bPgiX5Vy3bQMvYTY5g

When was the last time a true ice storm verified inside the Beltway?
