The winds are definitely strong as soon as the front passes. We will see if any flakes make it here but it looks like any chance at accums is northeast of the Triangle (story of the year).
Yeah it definitely stings but it is what it is. We barely squeaked out one decent event with so many opportunities. This winter is a C- in the Triangle (and only that because the professor doesn't want to see you in their class anymore).
I am pretty sure the Raleigh screw zone is now incorporated into the models. I was amazed this morning to still see this "event" still on the table. I am going into this expecting nothing for sure.
The timing is much quicker on the 18z but makes sense with a weaker more progressive system. It would amount to a flizzard at best for most in NC in reality.
