Euro/GFS say it will be a bit windy next week when the big storm rides the Apps with the big high offshore, these are always over done but even if you knock off `15-20 mph from these numbers that still puts us in a wind advisory criteria day with gust to 50ish.....

Ukie similar as well.....

65 went to grocery store in shorts and a t shirt.....still snow on ground and roofs in a few spots lol....

21 degrees last night makes this the first night we have been below 25 all winter.....in fact we have only been below 30 a total of 15 times all winter.

I am at work now and I actually got 1-2" more at my house than here (about 10 miles north of my house) but ground still covered, the wind was from behind the building so the ground closest to building was protected

Gonna call it 5" after compaction...

Flakes trying to get bigger and rates are still high if I had quarter size flakes this would be piling up fast...

My front porch a hr ago.....need them flakes bigger....

HRRR still pounds....these numbers are best case I think but still....

Its only gust sustained is in the teens...….so probably looking at heavy snow with 15-20mph winds gusting to 30-35 over the central coastal plains around 10pm-2am...certainly not blizzard conditions..assuming the models are right....

The 18Z HRRR from around 8pm to 3-4am is pretty insane for the Triangle to Hwy 17 cooridor.....heavy snow and winds gusting to the mid 30's well inland....please let it play out like it shows....

It went from 43 to 38 in a heavy sleet shower on my lunch break, once the consistent heavier precip fires up the surface will crash, that combined with a setting sun will put most of us under the mod to heavy snow at or below 32 IMO....

WInd's pick up as the coastal gets cranking and there should still be some good rates going on...

IP/RN mix here probably 50-75% IP at times.....
