So… who’s having fun?

Pro tip: Buffalo Trace goes really well with over performing snowstorms. You heard it here first

Beautiful, same here. Warning criteria is a formality at this point. Great storm, 23 degrees and snowing hard, you guys kidding me? When it was 75 a month ago I did not think this was possible

Been waiting a long time to say this: ripping in Raleigh

And people were calling this a bust an hour ago smdh

I’d agree here too. Definitely coming down now

Eyeballing what I’d say is an inch? Got a bourbon drink in my hand and the newest bond movie on. Snowing really well now, not heavy, but moderate. Definitely accumulating much quicker

Rates have really picked up in last 20 minutes in North Hills. Coming down moderately now, still small dry flakes but the air is absolutely full of them

Y’all are getting smoked! Congrats

^^^ this. After last few winters if you’re in Raleigh and not loving this I don’t have much to say!

Exactly. Stop staring at the radar and worrying about what could go wrong or busting and go enjoy it. This is Rocky Mountain powder and snowing steady with plenty to go

Wait- we have over a half inch of snow, predicted to get 2-4, and it’s supposed to snow until 2 or 3. What am I missing from the panic???

That’s crazy. No clue on total but everything is completely covered now including grass and it’s small dry flake but coming down at a good rate and 24 degrees. Pretty awesome

If you’re complaining about anything in the Raleigh area, you need a new hobby. This is our best storm in years. Absolutely awesome out right now. Loving every second of it

I think it’s so easy to forget just how beautiful snow is. This is a rare, dry powdery snow at that. Absolute heaven right now. Rates have picked up looks like everything is covered. Happy happy

In this storm anything NW of you modeled is a good thing. You still have room to work with

I am pretty confident we will be NEAR 3 inches and it will be a high impact snow with temps, so yea, I do actually think a warning is warranted

NAM upped totals slightly for a more expansive area but man someone is going to be hurt on the NW edge of where the shield sets up. 0-3” pretty dang fast. Gradient looks to setup between Greensboro and Durham. Overall very little shift in precip edge. ICON actually backed off fairly significantly

Yea we were in between. Happy we got the 6.5” we did but man it was frustrating seeing posters near you seeing snow most of the day while mine turned to puddles in the downpour. We only picked up a dusting too the next day, that missed us to the north and west

Agreed- didn’t panic and have only changed their call map from 3-4”, to 1-2”, to 2-3”. A spread of 1-4” is not bad considering the hand we’ve been dealt the last 36 hours. Looks like we’re locked in to a 2-4” storm for many in central/eastern NC and I hope everyone on here enjoys every second of it even if 6”+ Maps from a few days ago don’t happen and it’s unlikely they will. This will be our best storm since January 2018 (I hate the December storm bc it snowed only at night and poured rain here all day while places 20 miles away got dumped on all day). This frankly given the cold air and chance for rapid accumulation will be a fantastic storm regardless our final tally

I think RAH is spot on with their call. I don’t see Raleigh busting too much higher than the 2-3” forecast. With that even if we get 4” will it be a bust from impacts? Nope. Only those on here will know the difference. This will be a high impact event though given cold antecedent temps and cold temps during snow, much higher impact than 2 inches normally would be

Woke up to a dusting. 26.6 out this morning.

Below freezing now- all frozen falling too. 32.0, still falling. Could get a little interesting if we spend any time under some returns. Some accumulation showing

Literally depends on your returns overhead. We’re cooled enough for all snow but not getting the saturation needed at height for flakes to form

I can confirm that it only snowed with the high returns. Actually good sized flakes too. We’re back to mostly sleet with a few mangled flakes. Wish we had real precip
