Little over 2.5” here. Oh what could’ve been with better BL temps. Oh well, salvaged the season, got to watch it snow for 8 hours and had a great time tracking it! It’s absolutely beautiful out. Still snowing atm but not going to amount to anything more. Congrats to all who scored today!

That's what I have (not 2 but 1-1.5"), depending on where you measure. Moderate snow 32/32. Ice has formed on what had been water on my truck's windshield. We are below freezing

Im on Latimer off Compton

I'm at 32. I doubt that's accurate. Roads covered now. IDK where the other North Hills report came from but we're much more than that...

It is coming down in Raleigh! Fiance is putting snow clothes on. About to go on a walk before it gets dark! Starting to stick to paved surfaces

I'm at 32 and falling...

The forecast has busted!!!

If we keep these rates in Raleigh, we bust in a good way

32 and everything but roads is covering up nicely! Absolutely beautiful out. Just went out back with the dog. Felt like a 8 year old kid

Temp Crashing with the onset of snow. Down to 34. 44 was the high. Gotta love good mid and upper levels and a good push of dry air before

Where in Raleigh? I'm snow in North Hills area

Wow, switched to all snow quick in North Hills at the house. Moderate snow now still 38

Rain/Snow mix at the house in North Hills. Temp down to 38. Long way to go but happy to see flakes already.

I think it's a bit larger than that...

All rain in Garner. About to head home to take my last meetings from the house before Raleigh panics and everyone hits the road at once.

I agree on the DP front. Just ready to see appreciable precip blossoming as the coastal takes over and we start to see some moisture transport. At work in Garner I can confirm that light rain has started. No flurries or sleet pellets here. Not sure the temp

DP continues to fall at RDU, down to 25. Precip is sure having a tough time advancing N and to the west. Not sure if this is a bad omen for less moisture or a delayed arrival...

When people are posting about there maybe being an extra "slop" to a raindrop when it hits their car, you know we're desperate to see a flake

Sleet/Graupel in Garner. No rain mixed in. Dry air doing its thang

I'm guilty… Only reason I did at work was it was within a degree of my home weather station which I've found to be accurate. Shows my mental state hoping for a flake and entering the anxiety period. Starting an event in the mid 40's, in the middle of the day, in late february is not great for that anxiety

Hard to melt rain puddles!

Sleeting in Garner at work. Just stepped outside

COLD NE wind is a blowing in! down to 48 and drizzly. Haven't checked the guage yet but it'll be around .25" I think.

If I'm chasing snow 800 miles away it will be done on an airplane and I will be going to a ski resort

2 days ago: "Temps are unequivocally not going to be an issue". I knew better: Agreed if you're only talking about seeing snow fall. For accumulations, temps are always an issue. Take the 2.8 system for example. Many areas outside of North Georgia and Oconee and Pickens counties saw snow fall with no mixing, but very minimal accumulations. Mid and upper levels were excellent so it stayed snow but temps at the ground never fully cooled below the 32-34 range and really cut into accumulations. With a system like this where precip looks to be meager at best, wasting any precip waiting for temps to drop that extra degree will significantly cut into snow accumulations. I agree the atmosphere is not an issue but the fact is the baseline temps are going to rely on evaporative cooling and rates to reach a point where accumulations are possible. It's not going to start snowing at 32 degrees and temps fall from there. I'm not going to be the "ground temp" and "sun angle" guy, but those in the upstate and charlotte areas might have something to say about that from the last system as the only efficient accumulations occurred at night or early morning (I know that's also when precip peaked with that system, but it does matter). That being said, the focus continues to be on pushing more moisture further north and letting the temp battle play out from there. That has been the limiting factor with this setup and continues to be so. The trends have been positive today from that angle. I know the take the cold first then worry about moisture approach, but to the previous post's point, cold is not an issue for it to snow with this system. It only will become an issue if we get to the stage of talking accumulations.
