I’m still about an hour away, haven’t seen a flake on the drive

Let’s all turn on our sprinklers maybe it can moisten it up

Radar looks much juicier than pretty much all modeling. Would not surprise me one bit to see some surprises today!!!

Called playing a clean game!!! The point is to not foul, sounds like they did just that

Returns seem to be making it over the mountains. Guess we’ll see if it can overcome insanely dry air for someone to capitalize in the ice cold piedmont this morning

6z euro trended to other models and dropped the Friday system. For snow I think it’s Friday or bust. The weekend system wants to cut and the high is retreating. That Friday wave is the only shot at snow and it’s a long shot

Light snow has returned in banner elk at the rental. Good send off for an awesome weekend

Go Tigers. We were all Heels fans tonight. Unreal scene in chapel hill, don’t care who you pull for that was epic

It’s an ice storm for western Virginia and cold rain elsewhere

I’ve conceded that Raleigh just isn’t going to get a big storm this year. I’m sure Columbia, the upstate, Charlotte, ATL, Athens, the triad, eastern NC, roxboro to Elizabeth city, Florida panhandle, waycross GA, mobile AL, OBX, southern Virginia, low country SC, and Savannah Ga are all still in the game though

EURO buries a lot of South Carolina. Also has that same preceding event it’s hung onto in NC

Mega bust on temps back home! Forecast low was 22 my station says it only got down to 33.1!

Has Virginia/mid Atlantic written all over it next weekend

Hard to tell how much with wind but probably 1.5-2” in banner elk. Wind was extremely loud this morning. Pretty out but frigid. Got the fire roaring and going to head into town for lunch. Didn’t see much fall but it was coming down good at 5 am. Wind is still whipping and sun is out

Can’t even buy a flurry here

Holy hell yesterday’s low turned into a monster in the Atlantic off the Carolina coast. What could have been!!!

Looks like a spring time cycle of thaw/cold shot/repeat for the remainder of the month

Frigid 19.8 right now

Normally I’d give a winter like this a B but the dry slot storm was so bad I’ll give winter a D. All 3 storms we got below expected amounts. All 3 I got less then half expected QPF. 0 daylight snow, sleet all fell before daybreak then it was dry rest of day. Neither warning hit warning criteria. 3 advisory level events while the rest of the state got POUNDED. Even the sleet storm, I’d taken 1.5” sleet all day. Wasted pattern. I’m salty. As is my truck. Congrats everyone else.

Think we’re going with banner elk for the town and availability of places to stay. Never been either, looking forward to it.

Yep my farm in Louisburg had nearly 5” on the ground when I got up there on Monday so I am assuming they had 6-7” from the storm which obviously is a big hit around here. Here in the snow hole we had 0.4” in December, 0.7” from the sleet storm and 2.6” from last weekends storm so 3.7” on the year, which has to be the lowest or close to lowest total in the entire state. Even eyewall got warning criteria snow at his location last weekend, and I think most areas in wake had over 1” of sleet from the other storm, so I feel like I live in THE snow hole this year

Actually a dusting on the ground at the office in Garner

Alright mountain folk- think my wife and I are going to come up for a NW flow event snowcation tomorrow. We were thinking banner elk-beech mountain and above 4500 feet. Only concern with beech is it being a zoo on the weekend, though we aren’t skiing. Any additional advice? Found a good number of rentals available want quick access to a town for meals and walking around, don’t need to be peak snowfall but want good chance at a couple inches

Congrats foothills folks. You broke the curse and are having an incredible winter. Y’all deserved it, don’t let the Raleigh crowd bickering over 1 storm take away from the fact that your entire area had been an elite screw zone for years
