Buh Bye!! This one will take a few pills and drinks to get over. A lot of mets jumped early and will be left trying to explain a dusting lighter than the film on a glass top table after an all night bender at the local crack house off of Mountain Street in K-Vegas. But that's all heresay anyway, kind of like talk of snowstorms in eastern Carolina. As I said earlier, this is probably the yearly non-event that keeps us all grounded in the fact that we live in the southeast and it's winter. They don't go together like Forrest Gump and Jennie.

It's almost like we need a quantum computer or something to sort this out for us. Anybody ever thought about that? Brick? Burger? Anyone? I think this might be the week we all realize we still live in the southeast. Happens every year.

This thing has fizzle written all over it for anyone west of Durham. There has to be more moisture on the model runs this afternoon or this goose is cooked. We're approaching 30 hours!

We're going to be in some very rare territory to have such an isolated event east of RDU...heck almost east of 95 the way this is trending! Not sure the 2014 analog shared earlier aligns with this event as being modeled now. I see some parsing of words coming from RAH on their WWW as it relates to western counties. We'll be lucky to see an inch across the triad.

I think I see where you are going with this!

I can only imagine how many "Aleets" DT just used in his last update after that NAM run. That was a thing of beauty for sure! Need that EE rule in play by tomorrow morning.

Oh, so you are saying its easy to do like the Bengals did. Just sack Mahomes and throw darts to J'amarr Chase. Problem solved!

Sorry, reading quickly to catch up and I was getting a vibe that many were concerned. I'm looking at the Euro scratching my head thinking everyone should be elated with these trends outside of WNC/VA. This is exactly what most were hoping for last week!

These runs are bad for CNC and the Piedmont because why? Heck, I'll trade 2-3 inches of fluff for the 3" of white concrete I have outside any day! Trends are ok with me.

Looks like yes but the trajectory has it mostly over Guilford County vs Forsyth. Just as well, I already shoveled.

I can totally verify Colfax / Kernersville around 5" total. I just shoveled several 8" drifts off the doors of my house. Most of it probably packed down to 4" now.

Great pics @Met1985! They sure did get Biltmore cleared quickly!

This backside pivot looks amazing. Not sure who, but somebody is going to get another inch or two if they are in the right spot as all that precip back into AL rotates through. There's a nice blob coming right up I85 towards the Triad and then quite a bit more after that tonight. I won't call this an overperformer here, but it was certainly a nice event.....just different than expected.

Daughter just showed me some decent snow at Lake Norman again. But my sleet rates here in Kernersville are just ridiculous. I might as well be in thundersleet it is coming down so hard.

I have snow loving dogs and they wanted no part of that micro-meteorfest that is going on out there. Thankful for the early snow or else I'd be worried about sandblasting my cars!

Still like a frozen downpour in July here in the heart of the Triad. Absolutely pouring sleet.

We have so many active threads and threats its hard to keep track of where to post!

100% raging sleet storm in Kernersville. Crusting process well underway. Looks like almost 2.5-3" on the farm cams in Stuart VA. Big flakes still flying there at 1,500 feet.

10-4. Totally agree.

These aren't freight trains, these systems can literally stop and turn on a dime once they become influenced by a different feature. If you have a rapidly weakening blocking high to the north and other features in place that would draw the system due north, it wouldn't take long at all for this system to stall and begin moving quickly north. (I'm fairly certain I'm preaching to the choir here, but the statement was made) It can absolutely be in Gatlinburg in 12 hours.

Anybody confirm snow reports out of Iredell County? Seeing some notes online.

It's my birf-day next Sat. Bring this one straight to the snow bank. Slam dunk for everyone.

LoL. I was 22 the last time the Bengals had a playoff win. 31 years ago. Oddly enough that might have been the year we had the snowmaggedon snowball fight in the quad at NC State. Probably the last kick butt snowfall Raleigh has seen. I'll go fire up the grill and crack open the beer fridge and things will get better. Time for some brisket and ribs!

The finger of snow modeled for today must have been the models actually giving us the finger cut that didn't materialize. The warm nose that was nowhere in sight a week ago when we were planning this blizzard is going to turn this into nothing but a workout having to clear debris from an ice storm. I cannot tell you how irritated I woke up this morning. And I swear if the Raiders spoil my playoff party this afternoon that will certainly push me over my cliff. Bengals win or I'm dumping all my ice storm debris in the middle of I-40. Darn I'm cranky about this one!!

Curse you for bringing that up. Do you have any idea how many trees I had to cut up in my neighborhood?? Not to mention no power for 3 days with a 5 year old and newborn. Not fun! Edit....but I kinda agree.
