eyewall

I was worried about it being too front loaded this winter and unfortunately that may be true.

Time to create the winter 2026-2027 thread?

Southern is an OK forum, I post occasionally, but I cannot stand the look and feel of the site. It’s brutal to me. There are good posters there and a lot of folks who post in both but I too wish we could get some back who’ve left here. It’s quite the spectacle to go over there if Raleigh is getting screwed by a storm. If you think the Raleigh folks here are bad it’s even worse there. They have a lot of Charlotte posters too which I appreciate as someone who lived there for a long time after college 

I realize I used to be real awful at times. Somehow after the 3 years of zeroing out I have chilled out a lot more lol. As for he upcoming pattern I know it sucks to warm up during Christmas but we know the cold can't hang on around here for the entire winter. If we can flip back for January that would be fine with me to get back in the game and hopefully real one in south of Virginia for once.

The video is out:

Probably some solid rates in Ocracoke. 

A pretty heavy graupel shower is passing through here. Sticking on elevated surfaces

Narrow moderate snowband sitting right over us. Not sticking much but it sure is pretty

From the Banana Belt of central NC congrats!

Flurries here in downtown Raleigh as of 9:50am

Breathtaking pics!! TY for sharing!

thank you!

A pattern shift was inevitable but hopefully something comes back in our favor in January. I am not giving up just yet. I still would not entirely rule out a 6 inch plus event this year for this neck of the woods. 

I decided not to chase this one but looks rather enjoyable! 

A few re-edits and new shots from the other night and following morning:

I could Google it, but what's the criteria for actual blizzard conditions.  I'm up in Avery.  Don't know if I've ever been in an actual blizzard lol

Frequent gusts to 35 mph or higher and vis 1/4 mile or less for at least 3 hours.

Red is for Christmas 

Yeah looking very grinchy this year. 

The question for me is would it be worthwhile to come up very early Thursday morning for this upslope event? The one drawback is the strong wind gusts.

I’ll be honest at about 5:00 yesterday afternoon I didn’t think there was a snowballs chance in hell we’d see drone pics of Raleigh with snow cover today but man those are beautiful 

Thank you! Now I just need a 6 inch plus event to shoot.

Gorgeous shots, every one. Well done. I love cemeteries in snow. Also the hints of red/orange/warmth that come through in snow pics/winter scenery IRL, like in these pics the cut firewood, berries, etc...the color palette is just, chef's kiss.

Thank you!

I of course had to chase once more to VA during the day and did so between Red Oak and Wylliesburg, VA. I was there in time for the real heavy band which was awesome. Here is some of what I captured:

We had about a half inch at home but I of course had to chase once more during the day and did so between Red Oak and Wylliesburg, VA. I was there in time for the real heavy band which was awesome. Here is some of what I captured:
