Its the finger!! Lore says that might be a precursor to the death band. Make sure you and Gawx have your Walmart battery packs on standby to charge those phones. We all know much sleet sticks to those power lines!

So you're saying Carolina Crusher part deux is possible? Can't wait for my 14" of powder.

Sure does feel like after this week we are going deep into Fab Feb before we'll this pattern back again. Once the pattern relaxes it may not come back as we've seen before. The inverse of our cold is the complete lack of winter in places like the mountains of CA. I'll be headed out to Yosemite in April. They have zero snow now. Locals are telling me to expect a late winter there. Probably about the time the SER returns here in March and April. Can't blame this one on Brick. Not even he can mess up bad enough to make it snow on Bourbon St. That takes a special kind of jinx.

Louisiana is about to get shut down for a couple of days. Maybe some Cajun Snow Cream in their future! Really impressive potential for the gulf coast. Hoping they get their fill!

This cold press looks more than legit. Looking at upstream temps in Chicago they dont even approach 32° again for 10 days with some below zero nights. New Orleans LA is looking at some below freezing temps too. This is certainly looking like suppression city right now for the interior SE crew.

Afternoon showers for Fort Myers to Jax if this trend keeps up! Ugh!

Are we playing Keno with pretty pictures? I'll take 17 FTW please!

Should have invested in heating oil futures! I mean we are going to be calling Tallahassee "Anchorage South" soon.

Likely and possible are two very different things. But it is possible: The most damaging ice storm on record is the North American Ice Storm of 1998, which deposited as much as 5 inches (12.7 cm) of freezing rain over a large area of Quebec and Ontario in Canada, as well as northern New England in the USA. Heavy accumulations of ice brought down trees and power lines throughout the region, blocking roads and damaging property. Millions were left without power for as much as a month. The total cost of all the damage is thought to have reached more than $4.4 billion, of which $3 billion (CAN$4.3 billion) was in Canada, and $1.4 billion was in the USA.

Just remember, you started this old man. When thread is running wild next weekend and everyone is screaming at Curly, you might have to repost this one.

Happy Birthday to me!!!

Cautionary tale for the board......be careful what you wish for! Sometimes Mother Nature grants wishes......all of them at ONCE!

Agree Kvegas brother. I'm definitely underwhelmed. So much so I would classify this as almost a nuissance snow. Not enough to really enjoy but just enough to screw up your weekend. And to think, I waited in lines 12 deep at the Food Lion and ATL still got more than me. Ha! But congrats to all that got snow. That should satisfy the board until....next weekend!

1.75" on the board and now raining sleet. Not at all what I expected this far north tonight in the triad.

Hoping they are coming this way! I have to be honest, I am unimpressed so far given the potential we saw earlier today. Rates have been meh, flakes are small and only an inch or so accum in Kvegas. Maybe 3" is the right forecast after all.

Man this is moving quickly! This could be over by 10-12pm looking at the current radar. 1/2" down already here in Kernersville. No more complaints for much of the forum after this one!

Hearing reports of some light flakage in west winston? Where are the Lewisville folks??

I can confirm we have fluffy biscuits in Walkertown. Also, I just went thru the Bjoangles drivethru. Those comments are likely related. In other news, we are locked in with a very dry 24° to start the event. Expecting virga, just hope it moistens up quickly.

Congrats to all you GA (and soon to be SC) peeps that are breaking the multi-year droughts. Very cool seeing snow in the ATL!

100% agree. I'm expecting snow into CLT by noon and the triad by 2. Many posts from GA saying the precip was a couple hours ahead of schedule.

Should start hearing from our NC mountain folks anytime now. Its gonna thump!

Correct. Could it be the NAM was more right than wrong after all?

Those are some juicy radar returns into LA and AR. Sure does look like a lot more than a half inch QPF. Looks like storms developing out over the Gulf of America as well.

Its been a millenia since we've had snow on snow here in the triad. But sure enough we still have leftovers from last wekend anywhere the sun didnt shine. Looking forward to building a little snowpack! 27° balmy degrees in Kvegas.

As noted by @msuwx earlier. If the NAM keeps initializing poorly as it has all day it still has time to baby step back to reality, which I think we will continue to see.
