Where can I find that map?

NWS RAH latest briefing

Woke up to about 1/2in or so of powdery snow, switched to ZR, then back to big wet flakes outside of Blowing Rock.

Looks like totals are lower on the 18z NAM

Not that it will verify, but its fun to see wintry precip show up.

On a side note, I yalls advice and I'm flying back Wednesday evening instead.

I'd get the earlier flight. Models are pretty bullish and they aren't changing. Doesnt mean they cant or wont but you better be safe and get in early.

You're probably right. I was just hoping she'd slow down enough for me to squeeze in. 

Sorry if this should be in banter. But, I have a flight back into RDU around 5pm Thursday. Do yall think I'll be able to make it or should we try and come in Wednesday? Or is it still to early to tell? Seats are filling up on alternative flights so I'm under a bit of pressure to make a decision. 

Snow getting lighter and what's on the ground is melting here in Durham.  Its pretty to look at in the trees though.
