The NAM has been on its own.

 

Either scores a coup or is hallucinating from glue consumption again

It’s only a dozen or so grammatical errors away from passing as a DT rant.

That would absolutely destroy Highway 12.

Yeah as much as I love the 25.1 bullseye IMBY, this just doesn’t seem worth it lol 

Landfalling snowacane at Morehead on hour 174. Say it ain’t Sosa. 

The wind has done a number tonight. 
 

Went out for a measurement - best estimate is 1.25”. I have 6” mini-drifts in spots, though. 

5501 it is!

Endeavor Air landed on 5L/22R at RDU has slid off the runway in a CRJ9 aircraft. 19 souls on board but havent heard of any injuries. There are a handful of birds circling over the airport waiting on clearance to land

DL 5501 maybe? DCA to RDU. Looks like another Delta/Endeavor (JFK to RDU) was re-routed to CHO. 
 

edit: you mentioned the redirect in a separate comment. My bad. 

It’s powder city in the Triangle and we’ve got dudes crying bust because we might not hit warning criteria. 
 

Ignore list is getting more of a workout tonight than the ruler, and I’m fine with that. 

Good band right now. Roads quickly getting covered.

Some of that is mixing with IP/ZR

Yep - mentioned this in the obs thread. Per Twitter reports, sounds like Lillington, Dunn, Four Oaks, Benson, etc. are mainly IP, with some ZR mixing in toward the south. 

For everyone on the ledge about banding: the bright returns around Lillington and points NE are IP (mixed w/ ZR toward Fayetteville).

Just dumping snow now

You must be south and/or east of downtown HS. I’m SW and it’s a been touch and go. 

I’d call it -SN at this point. 

Flurries in Pineapple Springs

Sleet hitting the windows in HS.

Just feels like a hard wish cast map. Hard to expect these results out of such a weak low

Ah yes, noted wishcast artist *checks notes* Eric Webb?

Where’s Brick?? North Raleigh looking pretty good right about now. Just texted my parents to see what’s up around North Ridge. Boring white rain in Charlotte. 

He posted in the disco thread - snow for the past hour, apparently. Down south, it’s still a rain/snow mix.

I wouldn’t be surprised if someone around Wake County and RDU area wake up with a inch or inch and a half of snow tomorrow morning.

Upon what is this prediction based?

Could just about throw a wet snowball into the sleet zone from Cary

Hi, it’s me…the sleet zone

Starting to hear some popping in the neighborhood… 30.8 with freezing rain. Hoping we don’t go dark. I’d say we’re at .25” so definitely looking like we’re on track for more than forecast 

Good luck - we’re flirting with 32 here but I think power loss is a foregone conclusion given the frequency of interruption at this point. Fingers crossed we torch just enough before the worst winds move in. 

Temp creeping up to 31 during lulls. Otherwise steady state with moderate ZR. Not a hint of sleet for some time. 

Flipped to all ZR and it’s adding up fast. Gusting 20-25. Just had the first power flicker of the day.

Sleetfest 2022 here now.

Same thing in Southern Wake. Window rattling sleet. 
 

edit to add: Wind picking up with gusts to 25 MPH. I’m glad this has been an IP show thus far.

Really?  In Wake county?  Not according to radar.  zr still east of I95

If you’re looking at a “precip depiction” view, toss it. Those are flawed algorithms and rarely get basic rain/snow changeover correct, much less a mixed bag of WTF like we have this AM.
